Poverty Assessment

Poverty is both a cause and a victim of deteriorating environmental quality. The poor are regarded as very dependent on the environment and natural resources in sustaining their lives so that the environment and natural resources are exploited regardless of their sustainability. On the other hand, environmental degradation causes the poor to get out of poverty. This study aims to (1) analyze the general picture of environmental quality and poverty, (2) analyze the effect of poverty on the environment, (3) analyze the effect of environmental quality on poverty along with other supporting factors in Indonesia 2012-2014. The analytical method used is simultaneous equation with EC2SLS method. The results show that poverty can affect environmental degradation but not vice versa. Exogenous variables that significantly affect the quality of the environment are the growth of the number of poor, economic growth, population density, and literacy rate. Exogenous variables that have significant effect on poverty are economic growth, wage, population density, and literacy rate.

Negative Effect

Government borrows from domestic and foreign sources to finance its budget deficit. There are theories and empirical evidence that suggests negative effect of government debt on economic growth. By applying the autoregressive distributive lag (ARDL) approach to co integration on time series data of Nepal spanning over 1975-2014 , this study finds positive and statistically significant effect of total public debt on the GDP of the country. This result contradicts majority of the existing empirical literature. For the positive result we resort to Keynesian view on the effect of public debt in the economy. The total debt-to-GDP ratio of Nepal shows a declining trend. This should have some policy considerations in the conduct of fiscal policy in Nepal. The contribution of education-centric human capital on GDP is found positive as predicted by theory.Economic Journal of Development Issues Vol. 17 & 18 No. 1-2 (2014) Combined Issue, Page: 76-104
