Inequality still becomes popular issue in the establishment of developing countries. Aside from the income inequality, the human development inequality is considered as an interesting topic for further study, in terms of resuming the solution. The purpose of this study is considered as specific in identifying the human development gap between origin and new regencies in Eastern Indonesia as well as the determinant. This study uses a positivist perspective with a deductive approach. Secondary data with cross-section types used in this study covers regencies and cities in Eastern Indonesia. This study uses the econometrics methodology using regression analysis with a dummy variable. The results showed there were differences in human development index between origin and new regencies in Eastern Indonesia. The human development index in the new regency is lower than in the origin regency. The results support the Myrdal’s Theory, which explains the gap in human development disparities among regions due to the significant backwash effects. Fiscal decentralization has a role in reducing the gap in human development in origin and new regencies, yet insignificant for the economic growth. Poverty lowers the impact on increasing human development in the origin regencies but does not occur in the new regencies.JEL Classification  H30; I32; O15

The structure of Regional Development Budget (hereafter APBD) of Papua Province, which is mostly sourced from  Government transfers tends to increase every year. This requires prioritising the use of capital expenditure that can improve the welfare of the community. However, it is an irony that the poverty rate in Papua Province ranks first in Indonesia as indicated by the Human Development Index (HDI), below the national average HDI. The objective  to analyse the structure of the APBD (General Allocation Fund - hereafter DAU, Special Allocation Fund - hereafter DAK and Revenue Sharing Fund - hereafter DBH) and financial performance of Papua's Human Development Index in 2013-2018 with capital expenditure as an intervening variable. Quantitative approach is used with secondary data type, which is processed using the IBM SPSS Amos application.  This study indicate that the increasing APBD structure will be able to increase the HDI but capital expenditure does not mediate the APBD structure to the HDI. Furthermore, financial performance has no impact on increasing the HDI as the capital expenditure does not mediate financial performance on the human development index.

Abstract In the context of the global financial-economic crisis it becomes important to find a stronger base for assessment of the socio-economic development and, in particular, search for better indicators. Therefore, the hypothesis is set that it is necessary to develop the EU Development Index, which will provide better assessment of an on-going socio-economic change. The objective of the article is to describe the EU Development Index calculation results and compare them with the Human Development Index values for each Member state of the EU. Ranking list of the EU Member States according to the Human Development Index values did not change substantially, suggesting that the Human Development Index inadequately responds to key socioenvironmental changes that occurred during the global financial economic crisis. At the same time, a number of countries show a sharp decline of the EU development index values, reflecting the impact of global economic crisis, while some countries with a high level of public debt and low confidence of the financial markets have remained in their positions by the both indexes in the year 2009. However, these countries most probably will be forced to make the considerable fiscal discipline measures, which inevitably will have an impact on GDP and income indicators in these countries, therefore their rankings in the coming years will deteriorate. Completely impartial assessment will be possible when countries with high debt levels will have balanced their budgets and economic growth will be based mostly on their own income and production instead of external cash flows and investment entering the country. It can be concluded that EU Development Index allows, in a more equitable fashion, to assess disparities of the EU Member States by development level and more rapidly reflect the rapid socio-economic change.
