Adanya desentralisasi fiskal diharapkan dapat menciptakan kemandirian daerah dan dapat mengurangi ketergantungan pemerintah daerah terhadap pemerintah pusat. Kemandirian keuangan daerah dicerminkan dengan perbandingan besarnya PAD terhadap total pendapatan daerah. Sejak 10 tahun dilaksanakannya otonomi daerah sesuai UU No 32 Tahun 2004, kemandirian keuangan daerah di Provinsi Jawa Tengah masih berada di level yang kurang baik dibandingkan dengan provinsi lainnya di Pulau Jawa. Jumlah pengangguran dan jumlah penduduk miskin di Provinsi Jawa Tengah juga masih terhitung tinggi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan dari tingkat kemandirian keuangan daerah dan tingkat ketergantungan daerah terhadap tingkat pengangguran dan tingkat kemiskinan di kabupaten/kota Provinsi Jawa Tengah Tahun 2013. Data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah data sekunder. Metode analisis yang digunakan adalah Analisis Korelasi Kanonikal menggunakan bantuan program SPSS. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan kemandirian keuangan daerah mempunyi hubungan yang signifikan, kuat, dan tidak searah dengan pengangguran dan kemiskinan. Sedangkan hubungan antara ketergantungan daerah terhadap kemiskinan dan pengangguran mempunyai hubungan yang signifikan, tidak kuat, dan tidak searah. Peningkatan kemandirian keuangan daerah guna mengurangi tingkat ketergantungan terhadap pemerintah pusat dapat dilakukan dengan cara menggali dan mengelola sumber daya atau potensi daerah yang dimilikinya secara efektif dan efisien sebagai sumber utama pendapatan keuangan daerahnya.

Regional autonomy program is the form of fiscal decentralization policy in Indonesia, legally started with the law of Regional Government No.22/1999 about de-concentration azas, which imply power or authority sharing and No.25/1999 about decentralization, which imply financial sharing between central and regional government. Financial sharing is tax and natural resources sharing revenue. This financial sharing type can widen fiscal gap between regions. As the solution, the central government gives block grants. Interregional Input-Output (IRIO) model can be used to analyze the impact of fiscal decentralization policy on sectoral and regional linkages, multipliers, growth, equalization, and efficiency of the regional economy. The analysis use shock variables of inter-governmental transfer including tax sharing revenue, natural resources revenue and block grants. They are treated as an exogenous variable package by regional government expenditure. The expenditures are in the form of investment and consumption based on IRIO model to analyze the optimality of policy variation. The analysis shows that the optimality of growth, equalization, and economic efficiency will be reached if the allocation of inter-governmental transfer is exactly the same as the potency and linkages between sectors and regions. We find the current formulation of intergovernmental transfer by central government, potent to increase regional disparity. Central government should reformulate division of inter-governmental transfer to avoid fiscal decentralization to be contra productive policy.

The consequence of the implementation of regional autonomy is that the regions must have their own abilities to implement government affairs and regional development. There is some research on the financial performance of the area but is still done in a partial autonomic region only. This research compares the financial performance between the autonomic regions of the expansion and the parent area. Based on this, study aims to compare the financial performance of the parent regency and the expanded district. In this study financial performance is measured based on Regional Financial Independence (KKD) rastio, Fiscal Decentralization Degree (DDF) ratio and the Regional Financial Effectiveness Ratio (EKD). Overall, secondary data are used, namely the realization of Regional Original Revenues (PAD), PAD targets, Balancing Funds, Loan Funds, and Regional Expenditures. To answer the research problem, the data is processed using ratio analysis. The results showed that the Regional Financial Performance measured by the ratio of KKD and DDF in the parent regency was still higher than the KKD and DDF in the expanded districts. Both the parent district and the expanded districts of KKD and DDF are included in the Instructive category. The role of the central government is still very dominant in regional financing. In general, the expanded district EKD ratio was very effective while the parent district EKD ratio was generally included in the quite effective category. The financial performance of the regional results is better than the parent region due to the existence of autonomous regions to promote maximum income sources.

Government expenditure is linked to the economic growth and is the driving force of the every country. In the post liberalization era, India has been exposed to the dynamics of the world economy due to which India has witnessed a significant impact of Government spending on its economic growth. The objective of this paper is to investigate the effects of the Central Government spending on the growth of the Indian economy over a period, from 2006 to 2016. The online data disclosures of the various ministries have been the major source of secondary data. Co-integration analysis is adopted to evaluate the effect of individual sectorial spending on the economic growth and gross domestic product. The economic spending is classified into 5 sectors namely: General Services, Social Services, Economic Services, Grants in Aid & Contribution and Public debt & Loans for analysis, as disclosed by the sources. The analysis gives us an idea of the various sectors which have a positive impact and the sectors which have a negative impact. The results would play an instrumental role in exploring the sectors in which the government should invest more, thereby contributing to an enhancement in the country’s growth.

Fiscal decentralization is a critical component of the concept of regional autonomy that has been embraced since the Reform period. With fiscal decentralization, it is envisioned that every regional government can impose development in its territory. However, the fiscal decentralization strategy in the field cannot be applied in all areas owing to political concerns. Then, each local authority has had solid financial potential since 2001 since it got very high transfer funds from the central government, but the allowance for growth was minimal. E.g., there are still many roads that are destroyed. This may be attributed to the fact that much of the transfer funds from the central government are reserved towards staff spending. The purpose of this analysis is to provide a general overview of the impact on the stabilization of regional growth of the fiscal decentralization policy in effect since 2001. For literature review, this study uses a qualitative approach. The study shows, however, that the fiscal decentralization policy has not affected all growth sectors because much of the Central Government allocation funds continue to be used for regular spending and salary payments such that capital expenditure funding, including infrastructure development funding, is modest and even budget-free.

The purpose of the expansion is to optimize services to the community in light of the growing population development. To improve service performance, it is certainly required to have sufficient financial capabilities. In order to ensure the implementation of the implementation, the financial capabilities of each region are required, but regional autonomy often creates fiscal gaps and becomes a burden on the central government as a result of the inability to finance development carried out by local governments. Therefore, efforts are needed to improve and find alternative sources of new admissions taking into account the conditions and potential that exist in each area. On the basis of the problem, this research needs to be carried out to see if the implementation of regional autonomy has been effectively carried out in accordance with the objective of regional autonomy which is to achieve fiscal independence. The objectives of this study are (1) analyzing the financial capabilities of the expansion area and the parent region (2) analyzing how the new and parent districts receive efforts in the implementation of fiscal maturity. The data used in this study is secondary data of danalm bentum time series in the period 2009-2017 sourced from Dispenda, BPS and related agencies from 11 districts / cities in Jambi Province. Analysis of data used by nature of this study with models of fiscal decentralization degrees (FDD), Regional Spending Performance and Regional Financial Retdor. While to measure tax efforts used the Tax Ratio and Tax Capacity model.
