Lahan Perkebunan Terlantar Di Sumatera : Faktor-Faktor Penyebab Dan Potensi Kerugian

<p align="center"><strong>ABSTRACT</strong></p><p><em>One of the rapidly-growing subsectors in the agriculture sector in Sumatra is plantation. Increase in output of this plantation subsector encourage expansion of large scale plantations. On the other hand, many of the plantations were abandoned. This study aimed to find the cause, progression and potential losses from abandoned land, using descriptive and quantitative methods. This study resulted that the increase in the plantation subsector output contribution, increase in plantation subsector productivity, encourage the expansion of plantations and increasing the area of abandoned land. Plantation land from forest areas and oil palm plantation land also showed a tendency to be abandoned.</em></p><p align="center"><em>ABSTRAK</em></p><p>Salah satu sub sektor yang tumbuh dengan cepat di sektor pertanian di Sumatera adalah perkebunan. Peningkatan output subsektor perkebunan ini mendorong ekspansi perkebunan skala besar. Di sisi lain, banyak perkebunan yang ditinggalkan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menemukan penyebab, perkembangan dan potensi kerugian dari lahan terlantar, menggunakan metode deskriptif dan kuantitatif. Penelitian ini menghasilkan bahwa peningkatan kontribusi keluaran subsektor perkebunan, peningkatan produktivitas subsektor perkebunan, mendorong perluasan perkebunan dan meningkatkan luas lahan terlantar. Plantation tanah dari kawasan hutan dan lahan perkebunan kelapa sawit juga menunjukkan kecenderungan untuk ditinggalkan.</p>

Analisis Kekakuan dan Faktor-faktor yang Memengaruhi Tingkat Suku Bunga Perbankan di Indonesia

<p align="center"><em>ABSTRACT</em></p><p><em>The research discusses the rigidity of interest rates on deposits and loans to changes in interest rate policies in the three groups of banks in Indonesia, and the factors that influence the interest rates on deposits and loans in the banking system. Rigidity of bank interest rates were analyzed with error correction model approach (Error Correction Model / ECM) using panel data. While the factors that influence the development of the banking interest rates were analyzed with multiple linear regression approach method of Generalized Least Square (GLS) using time series data. The period of data used from July 2005-March 2010.</em></p><p><em>Error Correction Model shows the slackness of interest rates response on deposits and loans toward the policy of interest rate. The rigidity of interest rates on deposits and loans in Indonesia is relatively slow when compared to some other countries.</em></p><p><em>Regression results with GLS method proves that the banking efficiency factor, bad credit and market share significantly influence the interest rates on deposits. While the borrowing rate is influenced by the rate of inflation, capital adequacy ratio, as well as bad credit. The results of this study suggest the importance of watching bad credit factors in making monetary policy because it can affect the interest rates on deposits and lending interest rates. </em></p><p>ABSTRAK</p><p>Penelitian ini membahas kekakuan suku bunga deposito dan pinjaman untuk perubahan kebijakan suku bunga dalam tiga kelompok bank di Indonesia, dan faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi suku bunga deposito dan pinjaman dalam sistem perbankan. Kekakuan suku bunga perbankan dianalisis dengan pendekatan error correction model (Error Correction Model / ECM) menggunakan data panel. Sedangkan faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi perkembangan suku bunga perbankan dianalisis dengan metode pendekatan regresi linier berganda dari Generalized Least Square (GLS) dengan menggunakan data time series.

Kekakuan suku bunga deposito dan pinjaman di Indonesia relatif lambat jika dibandingkan dengan beberapa negara lain.</p><p>Hasil regresi dengan metode GLS membuktikan bahwa faktor efisiensi perbankan, kredit macet dan pangsa pasar secara signifikan mempengaruhi suku bunga deposito. Sementara tingkat pinjaman dipengaruhi oleh tingkat inflasi, rasio kecukupan modal, serta kredit macet. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan pentingnya menonton faktor kredit macet dalam membuat kebijakan moneter karena dapat mempengaruhi suku bunga deposito dan suku bunga kredit.</p>

Dampak Kebijakan Pembatasan Konsumsi BBM Premium di Sektor Angkutan Darat terhadap Perekonomian Indonesia

<p class="4-isiabstrak"><span lang="IN">The research was motivated by a government’s policy plan in restricting consumption of premium fuel in the Land Transport Sector especially for private cars in 2012. The research aims to determine the impact of these policy towards Indonesia’s economy, especially impact on output, factors of production, production sector, and household income distribution. To achieve these objectives, the research was applying Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) analysis in 2008 as a framework and an analytical framework. To calculate these impact, author applied a multiplier analysis, the Gini Coefficient, decompotition multiplier and strutural path analysis (SPA). Calculation and analysis results indicate that limitation the volume consumption of premium fuel in the Land Transport Sector will impact on decreasing an addition output, factor income, production sector income, and household income. Furthermore, this policy impacts on the improvement of income distribution inequality. It can be seen from the value of the Gini Coefficient that is lower when volume consumption of premium fuel was limited than before limited.</span></p>
