Purpose of the study: This research aims to empirically prove the composition of local government expenditure (education, health, marine and fisheries, agriculture, and general allocation fund) on economic growth in 18 provinces in Indonesia from 2010 to 2015. Methodology: The model used in this research is panel data regression. The use of panel data in regression can provide more information that cannot be provided by cross-section or time-series data, and provides the best solution for inferring dynamic changes than cross-section data. Main Findings: The findings in this study are foreign investment has no influence on economic growth. Fiscal policies that are carried out are not effective in encouraging economic growth, and the use of the General Allocation Fund is not on target. Applications of this study: Foreign investment must be a trigger for the local economy and the national economy by means of foreign investment in Indonesia which is prioritized using raw materials and local labour, so that dependence on imported raw materials can be minimized. To overcome leakage of development budget must implement a budgeting system that is oriented towards organizational output and is very closely related to the organization's vision, mission, and strategic plan. The use of general allocation funds needs to be monitored by certain institutions and prioritizing public interest.

East Kalimantan Province is the largest producer of natural resources in Indonesia. Due to the massive exploitation process and high value, the mining sector has the biggest contribution and thus dominates the economy sector in the region. Related to this conditions, this study aims to describe the effect the effect of coal as natural resource on income inequality in East Kalimantan Province. This study uses panel data from nine districts/municipalities in East Kalimantan during 2006 until 2014, which is then processed by a pooled least square model. The study concludes that the contribution of coal sub-sectors in the economy is positively related to income inequality. The higher the contribution of coal subsector in the economy, the higher the income inequality in East Kalimantan Province. In addition, this study also finds that local government expenditure is not significantly related to income inequality, which means that the local government has not succeeded in creating equal prosperity in that region. However, the economic growth and the contribution of agricultural sector have no significant effect on income inequality.  Keywords: income inequality, natural resources curse,government expenditure. Provinsi Kalimantan Timur merupakan provinsi penghasil sumber daya alam terbesar di Indonesia. Akibat proses eksploitasi yang massive dan nilai yang tinggi, sektor pertambangan sangat mendominasi perekonomian daerah tersebut. Dari sekian banyak sumber daya alam yang ada di Provinsi Kalimantan Timur, batubara adalah yang paling besar kontribusinya terhadap perekonomian. Terkait kondisi tersebut, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji pengaruh kekayaan sumber daya alambatubara terhadap ketimpangan pendapatan di Provinsi Kalimantan Timur. Penelitian ini menggunakan data panel dari sembilan daerah kabupaten/kota di Provinsi Kalimantan Timur selama tahun 2006-2014, yang kemudian diolah menggunakan model pooled least square. Hasil penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa kontribusi subsektor batubara dalam perekonomian berhubungan positif dengan ketimpangan pendapatan. Semakin tinggi kontribusi subsektor batubara dalam perekonomian, semakin tinggi pula ketimpangan pendapatan di Provinsi Kalimantan Timur. Selain itu dalam penelitian ini ditemukan pula bahwa pengeluaran pemerintah berhubungan positifdengan ketimpangan pendapatan, yang berarti pemerintah daerah belum berhasil menciptakan pemerataan kesejahteraan di wilayahnya. Adapun pertumbuhan ekonomi dan kontribusi sektor pertanian dalam perekonomian Provinsi Kalimantan Timur terbukti tidak memiliki pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap ketimpangan pendapatan.  Kata kunci: ketimpangan pendapatan, kutukan sumber daya alam, pengeluaran pemerintah

The purpose of this study is to investigate and analyze the efficiency and effectiveness of local government expenditure on education sector in districts and cities level of East Java, during the periods 2007-2014. Furthermore, this study will evaluate the impacts of local government expenditure, household expenditure for education, and regional product domestic bruto or (PDRB) on the educational outcomes, namely education index.Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is selected as the methodology for analyzing the efficiency of local government expenditure on educational outcome. The model assumes constant return to scale (CRS) and variable return to scale (VRS). Measurement of the effectiveness of government spending is done by using panel data regression. Data for supporting the analyses is panel data from 38 districts and cities in East Java for the periods of 2007 – 2014. The results show that government expenditure in educational sector is relatively inefficient. Government Expenditure for Education (PPP) has no significant impact on educational index, while Household expenditure for education (PPRT) and GRDP per Capita positive has significant impact on the Education Index (IP). This imply that government expenditure for educational sector is not effective improving educational index.

Objective - This study examines the causal relationship between government expenditure and economic growth in West Kalimantan between 2009 and 2015. This research resulted in the enactment of Wagner's Law and/or Keynes's Theory in West Kalimantan leading the local government to take the right policies as an effort towards improving economic development. Methodology/Technique - By using panel data that combines time series data and cross-site data, it will be estimated by the Granger causality test which begins with a stationary test and co-integration test. Based on the co-integration tests, the results suggest that there is a long-term relationship between government expenditure and economic growth. Meanwhile, based on the Granger causality test, there is no reciprocal relationship between government expenditure and economic growth. Findings - A direct relationship in the form of the influence of government expenditure on economic growth in West Kalimantan. Novelty - These results are in line with the Keynes's Theory through its national income function. Type of Paper: Empirical Keywords: Government Expenditure; Economic Growth; Co-integration; Causality. JEL Classification: F40, F43, F49.

This article examines whether local government expenditure in Mauritius is characterised by an intertemporal decision-making path. In other words, to what extent does local government expenditure respond to contemporaneous changes in revenues. In this respect, the article contributes to the existing body of literature by exploring the context of an upper-middle-income country like Mauritius while factoring intertemporal choice in the supply of local public goods. Moreover, the article determines the short-run and long-run responsiveness of local public expenditure to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) through an error correction model based on time series data for Mauritius over the period 1987–2017. Our findings indicate that local government spending becomes less sensitive to its previous values when GDP and its past values are introduced as control variables in the model. Local government expenditure and real output are also found to be co-integrated or to share a long-term relationship. JEL Classification: B22, C1, D9, H4, H11
