Abstract - This study aims to find out how the level of economic development inequality and the inequality of income distribution in Banjarmasin City and Tanah Bumbu Regency, and how the comparison of the economic development inequality and the inequality of income distribution in that two regions. This study uses secondary data from the period of 2013-2017. The data is obtained from BPS. The analysis of inequality level of economic development using Williamson index, and analyzing the inequality of income distribution using the index gini ratio. The comparison results of Williamson index and the gini ratio index during 2013-2017 found that each analysis tool had different results. So that, it can be explained that the inequality level of regional economic development in the Tanah Bumbu Regency area with an average of 0.171 occurred due to the economy which relies on natural resources (mining and excavation), the mobility of goods and services is not smooth (distribution of goods and migration). However, the level of inequality in income distribution is low with an average of 0.312. It is because the depreciation of people's work is not much different, so that the income distribution is more evenly distributed. The inequality of economic development in Banjarmasin city is low with an average of 0.021. It occurs because the Banjarmasin city is the center of economy activities in the Province of South Kalimantan (the provincial capital). Banjarmasin city has the better infrastructure availability than other regions. In contrary, the inequality level of income distribution is in high level with an average of 0.354. It occurs because of the differences in types of work and skills of people in Banjarmasin. In addition, it also occurs becauce Banjarmasin City has a small area so that there is an inequality in income distribution.   Keywords: Williamson Index, and Gini Ratio Index.

AbstractThis study examines whether there is a curve linear relationship between economic development and greenhouse gas emissions, where poor and rich countries have low emissions while middle-income countries have high emissions. This is a controversial argument that suggests that persistent economic growth is the best means for achieving considerable emission reductions. The study contributes with new knowledge about the causes of variations in greenhouse gas emissions, by analyzing data for greenhouse gas emissions and testing economic explanations in relation to a broad array of political explanations. As the study demonstrates, there is a curve linear relationship between the level of economic development and greenhouse gas emissions, but the turning point – where a higher level of economic development starts to produce lower rather than higher emission levels – is far higher than previously thought. Among the study’s sample of countries, only the Scandinavian countries and Switzerland have experienced a sufficiently high level of economic development in order for increased wealth to result in lower emissions. Among the political impacts on greenhouse gas emissions, the study indicates that countries with consensual political systems produce lower emission levels than countries where the separation of powers is more centralized. A more robust “green” civil society leads to lower emissions in countries where the democratic system is functioning well, and ambitious targets regarding reduction of emissions in the Kyoto Protocol also seems to lower emissions.

Purpose This paper aims to identify the main dimensions that determine the ability of cities to compete as locations for business and hubs for investment which can help policymakers to manage and prioritize urban development strategies. Design/methodology/approach A composite indicator is proposed as a weighted aggregate of sub-indicators for the identified component dimensions (basic, efficiency-related and innovation-related competitiveness). The indicator is used to draw up a ranking of 159 European Large Urban Zones (LUZs) located in 26 EU countries based on 31 indicators, broken down into the three core dimensions of urban competitiveness identified. Findings The dimensions underlying urban competitiveness in relation to the location of firms and attracting investment determine the level of economic development of the LUZs. The most competitive cities in the sample have a high level of economic development, and the innovation dimension is the most significant one for the three groups of cities considered, followed by the efficiency dimension and, to a lesser extent, the basic dimension. Practical implications The findings provide guidance to policymakers on the most relevant dimensions for urban competitiveness. Originality/value This paper contributes to the literature shedding light on the complex relationships between efficiency-related and innovation-related factors with regard to urban competitiveness.

Abstract One of the problems Amartya Sen raised in his capabilities approach was: why do people in some societies realize a much lower level of various kinds of human capabilities than would be expected on the basis of their GDP per capita, while other societies do better than expected? This paper focuses on six capabilities and functionings: life expectancy, schooling, living in a society with less income inequality and less gender inequality, political freedom and life satisfaction. Empirically I start with data on 156 societies and use regression analysis and case diagnostics to identify societies that are extreme outliers. These are identified as Singapore, Saudi Arabia and South Africa, each of which does significantly worse than expected (given their relatively high level of economic development) on two or more of the six capabilities. I then use qualitative analysis to specify, through “process-tracing”, the causal mechanisms that explain why these particular societies are so “unbalanced” in the relationship between their economic development and their human capabilities.

The Impact

This paper empirically investigates the impact of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) on inequality using a panel data set of 65 developing counties. While the existing literature mainly examines the impact of FDI on growth, this study explores the importance of domestic conditions of the host countries in determining the distributional effects of FDI. The results show that the impact of FDI is not homogenous on host countries as FDI inflows exert inequality-narrowing effect only in countries that have stronger investment in human capital, better financial sector and a high level of economic development. While FDI accentuates not ameliorates inequality in countries with low level of economic development, findings of the study are robust to the use of different specifications, different estimation methods, inclusion of regional effects and time specific effects.

The Empirical Analysis

The paper analyses the fiscal decentralization effects on economic growth in unitary countries of European Union for the period 2005–2014. The empirical analysis was based on the multiple regression method. The fixed effect panel model was used as framework for the analysis. In order to examine the different impact of fiscal decentralization, the same analysis was applied to subsets of countries categorized into two groups according to countries’ level of economic development. This further analysis found that there is positive relationship between fiscal decentralization and economic growth in low level of economically developing countries and no relationship in high level of economically developed countries. These results suggested that fiscal decentralization is not always instrument for promotion of economic growth, which means that country’s economic development level is an important factor when introducing reform of fiscal decentralization. The originality of this article – new fiscal decentralization index and evaluated fiscal decentralization level influence for countries economic growth.

Nigeria’s economic development has most times been centred on promoting the expansion and growth of major cities in the country, while relegating the small towns to the background. Much attention has not been placed on rehabilitating and providing better living conditions for inhabitants of small towns.  This has resulted in the continuous influx of goods and services into bigger cities, with the aim of finding greener pastures. This incidence invariably brings about overpopulation problems as encountered in these cities. Most of the poverty incidence experienced in Nigeria is often times situated in small towns where there are high level of income inequality and illiteracy. It is against this background the paper adopts a textual analysis to ascertain the rate of poverty incurred in small towns as a result of rural-urban migration. The paper also establishes the facts that developmental incentives in small towns is a panacea for equal development across the unit of the country. From the evidence in the paper, it is recommended that one way to reduce the poverty rate anchors on the need for government to ensure that measures for allocation of public investment across different sized urban agglomerations should be implemented selectively based on landmass so as to avoid over-crowding.

Income Concentration

In the last decade, the system of inter-budgetary relations has undergone some changes, which  were  mainly  of  a  partial  nature.  The  result  is  an  established  model  with  a significant  and  non-decreasing  number  of  subsidized  regions,  a  high  level  of  income concentration, and subfederal budgets that differ significantly in the degree of income base diversification. At the same time, if half of the regions have an insufficient level of economic development to finance the necessary expenditures (relative to GRP), then for the other half this level is quite sufficient within the GRP potential, but the current tax system and the procedure for distributing tax revenues do not allow this, which requires replacing tax revenues with federal transfers. This model does not generate intention in supporting economic growth and economic activity in the regions and deprives them of incentives for development. The way out of this situation may be to take into account the formed macro-trends (changes in the place of the hydrocarbon economy, the place in the value chains, etc.) in the formation of an explicitly asymmetric model of intergovernmental relations, which may allow us to use the intention in economic development at the level of the subjects of the Russian Federation.

Macroeconomic Stability

The level of economic development of any state largely depends on foreign investment. In Uzbekistan, appropriate measures are being taken in order to interest potential investors to invest in the economy of our republic. But in accordance with the modern  economic development models and to plans have been shown that free trade, liberalization of the national economies, transparency investment policy and cooperation with world class organization like WB, IMF, OPEC, EU, UN, and Bloomberg and etc., give much more advantage to provide sustainable economic prosperity at any regions of the world countries. So, achievements on proper sectors are now not too easy due to very high level of competition. Any foreign investor is extremely careful and seeks to eliminate any risks when investing their capital in any project. It has been requested that iron guarantees that his investments will not only remain safe and sound, but will also bring profit to both sides. The best solution is providing macroeconomic stability with the cooperation and partnership of world initiatives organizations.

Economic complexity, according to the results of various studies at the country level, can be used as an indicator of economic development: more developed countries usually have a higher level of economic complexity. For Russian regions, the relationship between economic complexity, the level of innovative development and investment attractiveness is also revealed. This paper identifies the correlation between the complexity of export and the level of economic development for Russian regions and their separated more homogeneous groups. The results obtained by the author for regions of Russia contradict the rule identified for countries. For all Russian regions, there is a slight inverse correlation between the complexity of export and the value of per capita GRP. A slight positive correlation was found only for regions with a low export-to-GRP ratio and a high level of economic complexity. Such results are explained by the simple structure of Russian export, because of this the main recipients of export income are regions with a lower level of economic complexity — mainly oil and gas producing regions, as well as capitals that act as intermediaries.
