Impact of electrification on household expenditures of newly rlectrified remote islands in Indonesia
By using the electrification cases in Seribu Islands Regency, this research tries to analyze the impact of small islands electrification on community's welfare by evaluating the household expenditures. In February 2008, the Indonesian South Seribu Islands district enjoyed its first electricity connection via submarine cables from the main island Jakarta. In a second stage, the North Seribu Islands district also got a submarine power connection in February 2012. Since the electrification is done gradually, it creates an ideal treatment and control group for impact evaluation methodology. This paper uses Difference in Difference method using the South Seribu Islands district as a treatment group, and the North Seribu Islands district as a control group. 2007 was selected as the baseline period with the follow-up period from 2008 to 2011. The regression result shows that electrification gives a significant impacts on household expenditures particularly in the first two year after electrification. It increases the total, food, and nonfood expenditure. At the same time, the household expenditure for transportation purposes drop significantly. From these results, we may conclude that electrification can increase the community economic activity which is showed by the increasing of household expenditure.27/10/2016
