KONVERGENSI PENDAPATAN DAN FAKTOR-FAKTOR YANG MEMPENGARUHINYA DI PULAU JAWA DAN BALI TAHUN 2006-2013

Abstract

Convergence is a condition that describes the narrowing of the gap or
disparity of a variable between regions within a certain period. This research
aimed to analyze if the income convergence (σ-convergence) in Java and Bali
existed or not and to analyze the factors that influence the convergence in Java
and Bali (β- convergence). This research used secondary data from Gross
Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) per capita in 2006-2013, investment in 2006-
2013 and number of workers employed in 2006-2013 in Java and Bali which were
obtained from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS).
The analysis used in this research was the analysis of sigma convergence
by calculating the coefficient of variation, and beta convergence analysis which
was divided into absolute convergence and conditional convergence. The results
indicated that the analysis of sigma convergence experienced two dispersion of
sigma convergence in Java and Bali, the first in 2006-2012 seen from the results
of coefficient of variation which decline each year. Meanwhile, in 2012-2013
there was no convergence sigma indicated by the results of the coefficient of
variation increased.
Results of the absolute convergence analysis showed that absolute
convergence occurs in Java and Bali. The Results of the conditional convergence
analysis showed that there was conditional convergence by using the factors that
influenced income convergence In Java and Bali Year 2006-2013, i.e early G
RDP per capita, Investment and Labor showed a significant influence.
