This study aims to analyze the hump-shaped relation of regions in East Java Province. The proof of hump-shaped relation is seen from the influence of the degree of fiscal decentralization on economic growth. Fiscal decentralization analysis which is the ratio of regional original income and total regional expenditure, as well as using control variables consisting of government investment, and education which is implemented with reading and writing ability figures. The method used in this research is the econometrics approach. The model used in this study is the Fixed Effect Model with the Generalized Least Square method. The results of this study indicate that together the degree of decentralization, the degree of quadratic fiscal decentralization, government investment, the Gini ratio, the Gini squared ratio, and education significantly influence the regional economic growth in East Java Province. Partially the degree of decentralization, the degree of decentralized fiscal squared, government investment, the Gini ratio, the quadratic Gini ratio, and education also significantly affect economic growth, and show a hump-shape relationship, namely the degree of fiscal decentralization has a positive effect and quadratic fiscal decentralization hurts economic growth.

This research is a quantitative study using secondary data from six provinces in Java (DKI Jakarta, West Java, Central Java, Special Region of Yogyakarta, East Java and Banten) obtained from the Central Statistics Agency. Analysis of the data used in this study is panel regression of fixed effect model data using the General Least Square (GLS) method. The results showed that individually the domestic investment variable, labor, clean water infrastructure had a significant influence on economic growth while foreign investment had no significant effect on economic growth. Suggestions: 1) local governments are expected to increase the potential of each region to attract investors; 2) local governments are expected to create a conducive investment climate and facilitate investment licensing; 3) local governments are expected to increase the allocation of education funds and provide training in foreign languages ​​and skills to the workforce; 4) local governments should make better plans for the distribution of clean water and improve the efficiency of the use of clean water.© 2019, Universitas Negeri Semarang Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui dan menganalisis pengaruh investasi,tenaga kerja, dan infrastruktur terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi di Pulau Jawa tahun 2011-2017.

Effectiveness in managing the results of regional wealth will affect the original income of the region which can then be utilized for the welfare of the community. This study aims to determine the effect of fiscal decentralization and economic growth on poverty in Gorontalo Province. This research uses quantitative methods. The data used in this study were sourced from the Central Statistics Agency and the Directorate General of Fiscal Balance so that the data in this study were secondary data using the econometrics method through a panel data regression equation in the form of a combination of 10-year time series data (2008-2017) and cross section data 6 Regency / City areas in Gorontalo Province. Estimation is done using the Fixed Effect Model (FEM). The results of this study indicate that (1) Partially the degree of fiscal decentralization has a negative effect (unidirectional relationship) and significant on poverty means that the greater the fiscal decentralization variable will have an impact on reducing the level of poverty (2) Partially economic growth has a negative effect (unidirectional relationship) and significant to poverty means increasing economic growth can reduce poverty levels (3) Simultaneously the degree of fiscal decentralization and economic growth have a significant effect on poverty in Gorontalo Province.

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether and to what extent fiscal decentralization affects tax effort of local governments in China after the Tax Sharing System (TSS). This research provides different indexes of tax effort and fiscal decentralization in analysis. By using the panel data of 31 regions in China during the period of 1996–2006 and the two-way fixed-effect model, the empirical results show that fiscal decentralization has a significantly positive impact on tax effort of local governments. In addition, this positive influence of fiscal decentralization on tax effort increases over time. Finally, trade openness and industrialization level also will enhance the local government's tax effort.

This study aims to examine the effect of fiscal decentralization on gross regional domestic product (GRDP) of districts in South Sumatera. The data used in this study are secondary data in the form of GRDP, district expenditure to provincial expenditure ratio, district revenue to district expenditure ratio and balancing fund to district revenue ratio in 15 districts/cities in South Sumatera for 11 years during the period of 2005-2015. Multiple regression analysis on fixed effect model is used in analyzing the data. The result shows that simultaneosly, fiscal decentralisation has significant effect on GRDP of districits/cities in South Sumatera. However, in partial test, the district expenditure to provincial expenditure ratio is positive and insignificant. This is related to the district expenditure allocation that has not any direct impact on the district economy thus, it has yet to give results that can support the economic growth.
