This paper applies a Dynamic Spatial Durbin Model to a novel panel of 34 Indonesian provinces (2018-2022) to identify the determinants and spatial spillovers of green-finance development.

Continue ReadingThe expansion and penetration of digital financial inclusion have provided new impetus to economic development. With the aim of investigating the non-spatial and spatial effects of digital financial inclusion on urban and rural economic development, we target 31 provinces from 2011 to 2019 and complement the research gap by processing luminosity-corrected GDP and land cover images to generate urban and rural GDP statistics. This study highlights the following conclusions: first, digital financial inclusion has positively localized effects on rural economic development.

Using a novel dataset constructed for this study, the spatio temporal dynamics of income per capita across 34 provinces and 514 districts in Indonesia over the 2010-2017 period are analyzed. First, an exploratory spatial analysis suggests that spatial autocorrelation is only significant at the district level, and it appears to be robust from 2013 to 2017. Consequently, at this level, a spatial filtering model is used for decomposing income into a spatially independent component and a spatial residual.
