Abstract: The research aims to analyze the effect of fiscal balance fund on income inequality in West Kalimantan by considering spatial inter-relationships between existing districts/cities. The study showed that the Spatial Durbin Model with fixed effect was empirically suitable. A variant of spatial autoregression model using Gini Ratio during the period of 2010 – 2018 in 14 districts/cities of West Kalimantan. The study concludes that income disparities between districts/cities were low and constant or the income was relatively distributed per capita. Spatial interactions between districts/cities and their neighbors are also relatively low. Spatial aspect, fiscal balance fund and regional minimum wage have a significant negative effect. On the contrary, the industrial workforce, educated workforce and medical personnel do not affect income inequality in West Kalimantan. This study provides academics with the understanding of the importance of spatial dependence in income inequality model because the economic activity is always related to the neighbor.Keywords: fiscal balance fund, income inequality, spatial aspect Analisis Spasial Dana Perimbangan Terhadap Disparitas Pendapatan Kalimantan BaratAbstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis pengaruh dana perimbangan terhadap disparitas pendapatan di Kalimantan Barat dengan mempertimbangkan keterkaitan spasial antar kabupaten/kota yang ada. Studi ini menghasilkan pemilihan model spasial durbin dengan efek tetap secara empiris sudah tepat. Variansi dari model autoregresif spasial menggunakan Indeks Gini kurun waktu 2010–2018 silang tempat dari 14 kabupaten/kota di Kalimantan Barat. Hasil penelitian menyimpulkan disparitas pendapatan antar kabupaten/kota rendah dan konstan atau relatif merata dalam pendapatan per kapita. Interaksi spasial antar kabupaten/kota dengan tetangganya juga relatif rendah. Aspek spasial, dana perimbangan dan UMR secara negatif signifikan mempengaruhi disparitas pendapatan. Sedangkan tenaga kerja industri, tenaga kerja terdidik dan tenaga medis tidak mempengaruhi disparitas pendapatan di Kalimantan Barat. Penelitian ini memberikan wawasan bagi kalangan akademisi tentang pentingnya memasukkan spatial dependence kedalam model ketimpangan pendapatan karena proses kegiatan ekonomi selalu berkaitan dengan wilayah tetangga.Kata kunci: dana perimbangan, disparitas pendapatan, aspek spatial

The Empirical Analysis

The authors discuss how scholars can bring theories of spatial policy dependence and empirical model specifications closer in line so that the empirical analysis actually tests the theoretical predictions. Comprehensive theories of spatial policy dependence typically suggest that the jurisdictions receiving spatial stimuli systematically differ in their exposure to such signals as a function of the intensity of their interaction with other jurisdictions. Similarly, theories often predict that governments also differ in their responsiveness to any given spatial stimulus as a function of the institutional, political, economic, or social context in which they operate. In other words, theories typically postulate that spatial dependence is conditional on exposure and responsiveness, neither of which is accounted for in the standard empirical practice of estimating one single common coefficient for a row-standardized spatial lag variable. The authors show how scholars can adequately model both forms of heterogeneity with properly specified interaction effects models.

AbstractExisting accounts posit that defensively oriented counterterrorist policies create negative externalities and result in regulatory competition that induces governments to increasingly tighten their policies. We argue that rather than causing an unconditional global “race to the top,” spatial dependence in counterterrorist policies is limited to within groups of countries exposed to a similar level of threat from international terrorism. Countries strongly differ in their propensity to become the target of an international terror attack. Governments can safely ignore counterterrorist policies enacted by countries outside their “peer group,” but they must pay attention to measures undertaken by their peers. We test several predictions derived from our theory in an empirical analysis of counterterrorist regulations in twenty Western developed-country democracies over the period 2001 to 2008.

Abstract. In this article, the authors provide an empirical analysis of the obtrusiveness of and participants' compliance with a relatively new psychological ambulatory assessment method, called the electronically activated recorder or EAR. The EAR is a modified portable audio-recorder that periodically records snippets of ambient sounds from participants' daily environments. In tracking moment-to-moment ambient sounds, the EAR yields an acoustic log of a person's day as it unfolds. As a naturalistic observation sampling method, it provides an observer's account of daily life and is optimized for the assessment of audible aspects of participants' naturally-occurring social behaviors and interactions. Measures of self-reported and behaviorally-assessed EAR obtrusiveness and compliance were analyzed in two samples. After an initial 2-h period of relative obtrusiveness, participants habituated to wearing the EAR and perceived it as fairly unobtrusive both in a short-term (2 days, N = 96) and a longer-term (10-11 days, N = 11) monitoring. Compliance with the method was high both during the short-term and longer-term monitoring. Somewhat reduced compliance was identified over the weekend; this effect appears to be specific to student populations. Important privacy and data confidentiality considerations around the EAR method are discussed.
