Infrastructure and inequality : The Empirical evidence from Indonesia
This research is an attempt to study the empirical relationship between infrastructure and income inequality in Indonesia. It uses regression analysis with panel data set covering 32 provinces in the period of 2007?2013 in order to estimate whether the infrastructure has positive or negative effects on income inequality. To achieve this goal, we develop a simple econometric model and use a conventional income inequality measure. This includes the regressors infrastructures quantity and quality indicators, in addition to standard controls. The model is estimated by simple pooled OLS, fixed-effect and random-effect models. To overcome the endogeneity problem, infrastructures quantity and quality indicators enter the regressions with one-year lag. We find that road and telecommunication quantities tend to boost income income inequality, while electricity quantity, airport quantity, and airport quality have a favorable impact on the distribution of income and help to alleviate income inequality. Whereas, when these different categories of infrastructure are formed as synthetic indices, the relation between these indices and income inequality lends support to the idea that infrastructure increases income inequality. .04/08/2016
