The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of 900 VA electricity tariff adjustments on household consumption patterns in East Borneo. This policy potentially increased the poverty, considering that in the last few years, East Borneo had experienced a contraction in economic growth. The analysis of this study used the Linear Approximation of Almost Ideal Demand System (LA/ AIDS), and the concept of elasticity to reach the objectives of this study using Susenas in 2016 and 2017. The results of the analysis showed that the policy indirectly had more impact on all residential electricity customers rather than on 900 VA and above customers. The residential electricity customers would generally be more responsive to reduce the non-staple consumption in addition to respond the subsidies revocation, compared to 900 VA and above users. This circumstance was certainly related to the economic condition of 900 VA and above residential electricity customers who were more capable, so the food needs were no longer a household staple. Meanwhile, the middle economic households would continue to maintain the nutritional status of the household by continuing to consume high protein food sources (fish / meat / eggs / milk). Meanwhile, based on the type of region, the revocation of 900 VA subsidies and the increase in household non-subsidized tariffs for rural was more responsive than urban households. This was understandable since the level of electricity dependence

Fiscal decentralization in Indonesia initiated in 2001 has proven to be effective and efficient; although, its implementation still need to be evaluated.

The Main Objectives of this study are to check whether Indonesian households suffer from energy poverty or not, as well as to determine the accessibility to certain modern energy accesses (LPG and Electricity) and the energy cost burden that Indonesian households must bear. Using data from SUSENAS 2014, this research is conducted by utilizing descriptive statistics analysis and Cross-Section OLS to achieve the objectives. It was found that there is no single Island Cluster in Indonesia suffers from energy cost burden. There are also differences in accessibility of modern energy and its relation to energy expenditure, especially in Maluku and Papua.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis bagaimana interdependensi instrument kebijakan moneter dengan pengangguran di Indonesia selama periode tahun 2000 – 2011. Data yang digunakan adalah data time series yang diperoleh dari Bank Indonesia, Biro Pusat Statistik dan institusi lainnya. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode Vector Auturegression (VAR) dilanjutkan dengan Struktural Vector Auturegression (SVAR). Berdasarkan hasil interpretasi VAR dan SVAR, secara khusus diperoleh bahwa keterkaitan antara instrumen moneter dengan pengangguran (UNEMP) memiliki arah yang berbeda. Variabel operasi pasar terbuka (OPT), tingkat suku bunga diskonto (rDiskonto), dan tingkat bunga domestik (rDom), mempunyai arah yang negatif terhadap variabel pengangguran, sedangkan variabel giro wajib minimum (GWM), nilai tukar (EXC) mempunyai arah yang positif. Keseluruahan instrumen moneter secara parsial berpengaruh tidak signifikan terhadap UNEMP. Begitu juga setelah dilakukan shock dengan menaikkan OPT sebesar 5% pada tahun 2010, diperoleh bahwa variabel OPT, GWM, rDiskonto, rDOM, EXC, juga tidak berpengaruh signifikan terhadap pengangguran.
 This study is intended to analyze the correlation of monetary policy instruments with unemployment in Indonesia during the period 2000 - 2011. The data used are time series data obtained from Bank of Indonesia, the Central Statistics Bureau and other institutions. This study uses Vector Auto regression (VAR) method followed by Structural Vector Auto regression (SVAR). Based on the results of the interpretation of VAR and SVAR, it was found that the relationship between monetary instruments with unemployment (UNEMP) had different directions. Open market operations variable (OMO), discounted interest rates variable(discount), and domestic interest rates variable (FDOM), have a negative correlation to the unemployment variable, while the statutory reserve requirement (GWM), exchange rate (EXC) variables have a positive correlation. The partiality of monetary instruments has no significant effect on UNEMP. Likewise, after the shock of increasing OPT by 5% in 2010, it was found that the OMO variable, GWM, discount, FDOM, and EXC, also had no significant effects on unemployment.
