| Summary: |
This research is an attempt to study the empirical relationship between infrastructure
and income inequality in Indonesia. It uses panel data covering 32 provinces. The
model is estimated by simple pooled OLS, fixed-effect and random-effect models. We
find that road and telecommunication quantities tend to boost 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. |
