ABSTRAKPenelitian ini menguji dampak kebijakan desentralisasi terhadap tingkat
kemiskinan di Indonesia menggunakan analisa data panel dengan mengambil
sampel data dari 33 propinsi dari periode 2005 - 2012. Menggunakan estimasi
model non ? linear, dampak desentralisasi dapat dijelaskan melalui titik balik
minimum dimana fiscal desentralisasi mempunyai dampak negatif maksimal
terhadap tingkat kemiskinan. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa dampak
desentralisasi fiskal paling optimal ketika indeks desentralisasi sama dengan 34
persen. Dengan kata lain, dampak desentralasi fiskal terhadap pengurangan
tingkat kemiskinan paling optimal terjadi ketika rasio akumulasi pengeluaran
pemerintah daerah per kapita disatu propinsi adalah sepertiga dari dari total
pengeluaran pemerintahan per kapita di proprinsi tersebut.
ABSTRACTThis study examines the effect of fiscal decentralization on poverty
headcount rate in Indonesia by employing panel data analysis, which takes sample
data form 33 provinces in Indonesia in the period 2005 ? 2012. Using the nonlinear
estimation model, the effect of decentralization on poverty is captured from
its turning point relation, which has maximum impact on decreasing poverty rate.
This study finds that optimum effect of fiscal decentralization on poverty
reduction occurs when the index of decentralization is equal to 34 percent. In
other words, the highest impact of decentralization on poverty reduction is when
the ratio of local government expenditure per capita is one third of the total
government expenditure per capita.;This study examines the effect of fiscal decentralization on poverty
