The implementation of fiscal decentralization in Indonesia is exactly two decades in year 2021, during this time the policies in the field of transfers to regions have developed with a significant increase in the budget. The budget increasing of transfer to regions is expected to increase the region in providing services to the community and increase development. Furthermore, the objectives of fiscal decentralization are to reduce fiscal gaps and encourage regional governments to be more independent. This study aims to determine the response or behavior of regional spending to transfer funds (block grants) from the central government. The research locus are all districts/cities in West Java, Central Java, and East Java Provinces and used a panel data equation, with variables are regional expenditure, general allocation fund (DAU), sharing allocation fund (DBH), and local revenues (PAD). The results showed that the block grant in the form of DAU encouraged an increase in regional spending. Meanwhile, DBH does not cause a flypaper effect. In the future, in order to achieve the region’s independence, the influence of the flypaper effect from the DAU should be minimized, and the exploration of potential regional revenues needs to be optimized.

One of the implementations of autonomy policy is fiscal decentralization. The State gives chance to every local government for improving its fiscal ability. Original Local Government Revenue (PAD) is fiscal potency owned local government to improve local government independence to promote welfare to society. To accelerate fiscal independence of local government equally, the central government sends transfer funds in the form of General Allocation Funds (DAU) which aims to comply local government expenditure that has not fulfilled. However, problems faced is local government expenditure management still much more affected by DAU rather than PAD. It indicates that local government still depends on central government to comply expenditure called flypaper effect. This research aims to analyze the effect of PAD and DAU on local government expenditure by identifying whether occurs flypaper on provincial government in Indonesia. The method used in this research is analysis regression of panel data with Generalized Least Square (GLS). Data used is panel data from 34 provinces in Indonesia between 2008-2017. Based on results estimation, PAD and DAU positively and significantly affect local government expenditure. However, the DAU more affects local government expenditure compared with PAD. This exhibits that flypaper effect phenomenon occurred on provincial government in Indonesia which local government expenditure response more affected by DAU than PAD. It is happening due to the provincial government still relies on central government to comply its expenditure illustrated with high DAU transfers. This research concludes that decentralization policy in Indonesia is not effective yet. Thus, the government needs to adjust decentralization policy in order to improve regional fiscal independence.

Fiscal decentralization can be considered as intergovernmental financial assistance within a state. This assistance is commonly called intergovernmental financial transfer that is transfer of fund from a level of government to another level. Generally, the transfer is usually occurred from a higher level of government the lower counterpart of a single state. The re- search is conducted to prove that Flypaper Effect has occurred in fiscal decentralization policy. The research finds that regional governments use the transfer for increasing their expenditures without raising the tax. The impact which is occurred from correlation of financial transfer by central government toward the income and expenditure of regional governments shows flypaper effect indication in the implementation of fiscal decentralization. In that case, the effect to the increase in regional expenditure is bigger than the effect toward its income. This is showing that transfer of the fund has caused the increase in vertical fiscal imbalance. Transfer of funds encourages the increase in the expenditure of autonomous regions.

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. Fiscal decentralization is expected to create  independency regional financial  and to reduce the dependence of local governments to the central government. Independency regional financial can be result by the ratio of PAD to total local revenue. Since 10 years the implementation of regional autonomy based on UU No. 32 of 2004, independency regional financial in Central Java  is still unwell compared to the other provinces in Java. As well as unemployed, and the poverty in Central Java is still high. The purpose of this research is to determine the relationship of  independency regional financial and the dependency regional to unemployment and poverty in Central Java period 2013. The data used in this research is secondary data. The method of analysis used is the Canonical Correlation Analysis using SPSS application. The results of research showed that the relationship of independency regional financial are significant, strong, and no direct relation with unemployment and poverty The relationship between dependency regional with unemployment and poverty are significant, no strong, and no direct relation. Increased the independency local financial to reduce the dependence on the central government can be done by managing the resources or the potential of region effectively and efficiently as the source from their financial local revenue

<div class="WordSection1"><p class="ListParagraph1"><em>Abstrak</em> - <strong>Optimasi keuntungan dapat dicapai melalui berbagai macam cara, salah satunya adalah dengan merencanakan dan mengendalikan anggaran penjualan. Perencanaan dan pengendalian penjualan yang dirancang dengan baik dan tepat diharapkan mampu membantu dalam mencapai target penjualan agar memperoleh laba yang optimal. Pada umumnya, anggaran penjualan disusun terlebih dahulu sebelum menyusun anggaran lainnya. Tujuan utama pembuatan anggaran ini adalah untuk mengurangi ketidakpastian dimasa depan, memasukkan pertimbangan atau keputusan manajemen dalam proses perencanaan, memberikan informasi dalam <em>profit planning control, </em>serta mempermudah pengendalian penjualan. Metode Lagrange adalah metode yang digunakan untuk menentukan titik maksimum dan minimum suatu fungsi yang diiringi dengan persyaratan atau kendala yang harus dipenuhi. Metode ini berguna untuk memperoleh nilai-nilai maksimum relatif atau minimum relatif<em> </em>dari fungsi f(x,y) yang dipengaruhi oleh fungsi persyaratan g(x,y)=0. Langkah pertama yang dilakukan dalam optimasi anggaran ini yaitu melakukan peramalan agregat permintaan dilanjutkan dengan disagregasi permintaan ke setiap <em>region</em> berdasarkan kontribusi penjualan, kemudian menyusun anggaran penjualan dengan metode <em>Lagrange Mulitplier</em> hingga diperoleh keuntungan yang optimal. Berdasarkan hasil agregasi penjualan, jumlah produk yang harus dijual yaitu sebesar 33,331 kardus. Jumlah alokasi untuk setiap region berdasarkan hasil disagregasi penjualannya yaitu sebesar 4,267 kardus untuk Jabotabek, 611 kardus untuk <em>West Java</em>, 900 kardus untuk <em>West Outer Islands</em>, 318 kardus untuk <em>Central Java</em>, 400 kardus untuk <em>East OI 2</em>, 645 kardus untuk <em>EOI</em> (<em>Dummy</em>), 25 kardus untuk <em>EAST OI 1</em>, dan 26,167 kardus untuk <em>Non XYZ Brand</em>. Dengan demikian, jumlah anggaran penjualan tahun 2014 yaitu sebesar Rp6.594.350.758,- dengan jumlah keuntungan optimal yang dapat diperoleh perusahaan sebesar Rp 4.035.316.605,- atau sama dengan 61% dari jumlah anggaran penjualan.</strong></p><p class="ListParagraph1"><strong> </strong></p><p class="ListParagraph1"><strong><em>Kata Kunci – </em></strong><em>Optimasi, Anggaran penjualan, Lagrange Multiplier, Peramalan<strong></strong></em></p></div><strong><br clear="all" /> </strong><div class="WordSection2"> </div><em><br clear="all" /> </em><p class="ListParagraph1"><em>Abstract</em> <strong>– Many ways can be cultivated to reach profit optimization, such as planning and controlling in sales budgeting can be used as a method. Good in sales planning and controlling might be help to achieve sales target as an effort to get optimize profit. In general, sales’ planning is arranged as a first step before creating another budgeting plan. The main objectives in this work are minimizing uncentanty in the future, considering management judgment in planning process, giving information in profit planning control, and simplying sales control. Lagrange method can be used to determine optimum and minimum points from a function which followed by bounderies that must be filled. This method is useful to calculate relatives maximum or relatives minimum numbers from a function f(x,y) that influenced by requirement function g(x,y)=0. To finish optimizing budgeting plan, firstly, calculating the demand aggregate planning therefore continued by demand disagregations to all region based on their sales contributions. Moreover, followed by compiling sales budgeting using Lagrange Mutliplier method’s to obtain optimum profit. Based on sales aggregation result, number of product should be sales are 33.331 cartons. Number of allocation for each regions followed by sales agregations results are 4.267 cartons for Jabotabek, 611 cartons for <em>West Java</em>, 900 cartons for <em>West Outer Islands</em>, 318 cartons for<em> Central Java</em>, 400 cartons for<em> East OI 2</em>, 645 cartons for<em> EOI</em> (<em>Dummy</em>), 25 cartons for<em> EAST OI 1</em>, and 26,167 cartons for<em> Non XYZ Brand</em>.
