In education, one crusial issue of development is the disparity of primary education access. Using 440 regions database from 2005-2009, this study is aim to analize the impact of fiscal decentralization in reducing the enrolement of primary education in Indonesia. Three factors were included, i.e fiscal decentralization, socioeconomic factors and regional characteristics. The result of panel data estimation using fixed-effect approach on this study is that DAK for Education, DAK Non Education, and PAD have significant impact in reducing education acess disparity along with poverty and regional characteristic such as Java-non Java regions. For education level, another variable was also found significant including education of the society and regional characteristic such as proliferated-non proliferated regions. In general there is a facts and proves that fiscal decentralization improve education access equality, but several effort need to done to optimalize the equalization of primary education access in Indonesia.

Using the RBV as a theoretical backdrop, the study is intended to begin the line of inquiry: Do IT asset matter and improve the firm performance? This inductive research used panel data estimation technique for unbalanced panel data to measure, describe, and analyze the firm performance. The results reveal a mixed behavioral effect of IT asset on firm performance. The positive influence of IT asset on firm performance suggests that a firm should invest to develop IT infrastructure in order to effectively promote firm IT capability and performance. However, the inverse relationship between IT asset and firm performance suggests that IT intensive stocks are not performing well in the stock market of Bangladesh. The study explains the IT asset’s contribution to firm performance from RBV perspective in the context of Bangladesh as well as extends the literature in this field.

FDI is an investment including a long-term relationship and reflecting a lasting interest and control of a resident entity in one economy. FDI is a combination of capital, technology, marketing and management. Based on the Neoclassical, Exogenous and modern theories FDI has a positive role in accelerating economic growth and development. Many countries are improving their economy in order to attract FDI.  The main objective of this study is to examine the impact of FDI inflows and outflows on economic growth of developed countries such as (USA, UK and France) and developing countries such as (Malaysia, Turkey and Iran) from (1980 to 2017). To accomplish that, ARDL approach and panel data estimation were used. The empirical findings reveal that the FDI inflows and outflows for developed countries (US and UK) have a positive impact on economic growth (GDP), while the FDI inflows of France have a negative impact. Nevertheless, FDI inflows and outflows for developing countries of (Malaysia, Turkey, and Iran) have a positive impact on economic growth. The result of panel data estimation shows that Fixed effects model is appropriate for estimating the parameters. In conclusion, Developing countries should diversify their FDI inflows and outflows to cover all the sectors and they should benefit from the developed countries’ experiences with higher impact of FDI on economic growth.

In this article, I extend the theory of added-variable plots to three panel-data estimation methods: fixed effects, between effects, and random effects. An added-variable plot is an effective way to show the correlation between an independent variable and a dependent variable conditional on other independent variables. In a multivariate context, a simple scatterplot showing x versus y is not adequate to show the relationship of x with y, because it ignores the impact of the other covariates. Added-variable plots are also useful for spotting influential outliers in the data that affect the estimated regression parameters. Stata can display added-variable plots with the command avplot, but it can be used only after regress. My new command, xtavplot, is a postestimation command that creates added-variable plots after xtreg estimates. Unlike avplot, xtavplot can display a confidence interval around the fitted regression line.

AbstractThe objective of fiscal decentralization objective in Indonesia is to reduce development disparities. Regarding education development, one crucial issue is access disparity. Using 440 sub provincial database during 2005-2009, this study is aim to analyze the impact of fiscal decentralization in reducing disparity of primary education access. Using fixed-effect model, the result showed that Dana Alokasi Khusus (DAK) for Education, DAK Non Education, and Pendapatan Asli Daerah (PAD) have significant impact in reducing education access disparity along with the wealth and regional characteristics. Nonetheless efforts need to be done to optimize the equalization of education access including strengthening the provincial government role in resources allocation and distribution of basic education services.Keywords: Fiscal Decentralization, Primary Education Access, Panel Data Analysis AbstrakTujuan desentralisasi fiskal di Indonesia adalah untuk mengurangi kesenjangan pembangunan.

The current study endeavors to explore the effects of oscillations in the exchange rate on the household aggregate consumption of developed, emerging, and developing economies, employing the panel data from 1995 to 2017. To select an appropriate panel data estimation technique, we apply Brush-Pagan & Hausman Tests for each set of chosen economies. Further, our study deduces that, in the case of developed economies, the oscillations in the exchange rate, significantly, affect the domestic consumption, supporting Alexander’s (1952) conjecture. However, in the case of emerging and developing economies, aggregate consumption does not respond to the exchange rate volatility.
