Labor is part of the population that is capable of doing the work to produce goods and services. Therefore. workers need to be empowered optimally in order to drive the economic process. According to keynes.one of the efforts that can be done is fiscal policy by increasing government spending leading to a reduction in unemployment. However in west java this expectation was not realized. West java has a large goverment spending, but its labor absorption is not high. It is shown from the percentage of the working population of the labor forc in west java in 2012 remained blow national. This study determines the effect of government education, health and infrastructure expenditures on economic growth and employment in west java. The recursive equation model is employed, showing that education and infrasturcture spending have positive effect on economic grawth and employment. Health expenditure prove to be insignificant. In addition in west java, economic growth has positive effect on employment.

Abstract Indonesia has implemented a new policy of regional autonomy and fiscal decentralization for almost ten years. One of the objectives of this fiscal decentralization is to give the full autonomy to local governments in spending and managing their revenues. The local governments have the authority to explore and collect their own-source revenue ('Pendapatan Asli Daerah', or PAD), i.e. through the improvement of their tax effort. The objectives of this study are: (i) to describe the fiscal performance of districts and municipalities in Indonesia, both in the revenue as well as the expenditure sides, (ii) to analyze the effects of intergovernmental transfers (?dana perimbangan', or balancing fund from the central to regional governments) on regional tax efforts, and (iii) to identify the regional economic growth elasticity of intergovernmental transfers and own-source revenue. This study employs a panel data set of 336 districts and municipalities covering the whole area of Indonesia over the time period of 2001-2008. The results show a relatively low contribution of PAD to regional revenues, indicating high fiscal dependency of regional governments on the central government. Intergovernmental transfers positively effect tax efforts. The result of the elasticity analysis also indicates a positive role of the transfers as stimuli to economic growth.
