Purpose: As a province located outside Java Island, the provinces in Sumatera Island have diversity in economic growth among the regions which could lead to the inequality of development. This study aims to analyze the convergence of sigma and absolute beta and also to measure the speed of the convergence of the economic growth in the new autonomous regions in Sumatera. Methodology: The research method in this study used the data panel in the form of Fixed Effect model. Results: The result of the research showed that the convergence of sigma occurred over four years during the study period while the convergence of the absolute beta did not occur. It can be seen from the Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) per capita levels of the new autonomous regions which are lower and it does not grow faster than the new autonomous regions which have higher GRDP per capita levels. The absolute convergence rate is 11 percent per year and the time it takes to close half of the initial half-time conversion (the half-time convergence) is six years.

ABSTRACTIn 2015, the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC), or better known as Masyarakat Ekonomi ASEAN (MEA) have agreed to jointly deal with the benefit expectations each member state.One of those opportunities to alleviate poverty related MEA is on tourism sector as a result of their visa-free between MEA member countries.Tourism development and economic growth have a mutualism relationship in poverty alleviation.This study analyzes the effect of tourism sector and income per capita on poverty reduction by panel data in 30 provinces of Indonesia in the period 2004 - 2012. Method of analysis uses Least Squaremethod and the estimation model used is Fixed Effect Model (FEM). The empirical results shows the tourism sector and income per capita have a significant effect to poverty reduction. Every 1% increase of tourism sector contribution effects on 0.005% poverty reduction, and every 1% increase of income per capita effects on 0.085%. poverty reduction

This study aims to analyze the determinants of the structural transformation in ASEAN countries. This study uses quantitative panel data from 9 countries in ASEAN from 2000 to 2017, thus makes up for 162 observations. This study employs panel data regression analysis with fixed effect model approach. In this study, the shifting of sectoral value added away from agriculture sectors indicates structural transformation. In particular, sectoral value added consists of the industrial value added and service value added. The results of this study shows that dependency ratio, income per capita, education, and trade significantly affect the increase of industrial value added during observation period. On the other hand, total population, dependency ratio, income per capita, education, control of corruption, and trade significantly increase the service value added over time.

The objective of this study is to analyse the effect of debt on economic growth as well as the channels, that is, investment, total factor productivity (TFP), interest rate and saving channel through which debt affects economic growth in South Asian countries. The study uses growth model based on conditional convergence and augments to include debt. Panel data of four South Asian countries from 1990 to 2013 at annual frequency are utilized and fixed effect model is used for estimation. The results of the study showed that inverted U-shaped relationship exists between debt and economic growth in South Asian countries. However, the most important and significant channel through which debt affects economic growth is private and public investment as well as TFP. Reducing debt accumulation alone will not rectify the problem unless the supplementary macroeconomic policies are made sound; therefore, there is a dire need to improve macroeconomic policies, good governance and elimination of structural distortions.

Abstract The purpose of this work is to identify whether the development of an insurance market is linked to economic growth in former transition countries. A multiple regression analysis is employed to estimate the insurance-growth relationship, using a cross-country panel dataset analysis tracking annual total insurance penetration in 10 countries over the 2000-2012 period, and applying a fixed effect model to test the hypothesis that this linkage is demonstrably positive. The results show a negative and statistically non-significant correlation between insurance and GDP growth, suggesting a lack of evidence that insurance promotes economic growth in post-transition economies.

<p><em>Purpose: This paper investigates the effects of inequality on economic growth in the world using continental approach.</em><em></em></p><p><em>Design/methodology:<strong> </strong>Gini Coefficient and Gross Domestic Products (GDP) per capita were used to measure inequality and economic growth respectively. The study conducted a panel data analysis of the relationship between inequality and economic growth. The data span from 1991-2015. Five countries were selected each from seven continents and were also pooled together to constitute a single panel for 35 countries, thus establishing 8 panels. The Hausman test was conducted to determine whether a random or fixed effect model best fit pooled countries analysis or not.</em><em></em></p><p><em>Findings: Findings revealed that for the developing countries, high income inequality retards economic growth while for the developed countries such as Europe countries; the situation seems to be different. European countries as revealed in the findings showed that developed countries have benefited from inequality which has significantly and positively affected their economic growth. The results for Panel II (Asia countries) and Panel III (Europe countries) are in line with the study of Forbes (2000) and Li and Zou (1998) that documented that inequality boosts economic growth. Importantly, we found that inequality positively affects economic growth for Panels/Continents with fixed effect model while inequality negatively affects economic growth for Panels/Continents with random effect model.</em></p><p><em>Research Limitation: The study did not control for each continent differences. For African countries, weak institutional settings and environment is a key factor contributing to high inequality.</em><em></em></p><p><em>Originality: The paper was able to know the specific effect of inequality on economic growth in each continent in the World. This documents continents that have benefited from inequality and those that inequality has greatly affected their economies negatively.</em><em></em></p>
