Abstract

This study aims to determine the relationship between decentralization,viewed from a fiscal and political perspective, and the quality ofroad infrastructure in Indonesian regions. This study uses paneldata of 32 provinces in Indonesia in the 2011–2018 and appliedpooled ordinary least square (OLS) estimation with individual fixedeffectsto capture time-variable estimation. Findings/Originality: Theresults show that special allocation funds (DAK) did not significantlyimprove the quality of damaged roads, although the correlation wasnegative. The apparent improvement in the damaged-road ratio ispresumed to be because the government is currently more focusedon the physical construction of roads than on maintenance, so thelevel/quality of road maintenance is still not optimal. The politicalcompetition was found to be negatively related to the improvementof the damaged-road ratio, indicating that political competitionimproved the quality of budget execution in road infrastructureprovision.How to Cite:Saragih, P.

印尼的道路质量:与专项拨款和政治竞争有关吗?

本研究旨在从财政和政治角度确定权力下放与印度尼西亚地区道路基础设施质量之间的关系。本研究使用2011-2018年印度尼西亚32个省的面板数据，采用具有个体固定效应的混合普通最小二乘(OLS)估计来获取时间变量估计。研究发现/原创性:研究结果表明，专项拨款(DAK)并没有显著改善受损道路的质量，尽管两者呈负相关。道路损坏率的明显改善被认为是因为政府目前更关注道路的物理建设而不是维护，因此道路维护的水平/质量仍然不是最佳的。研究发现，政治竞争与道路损坏率的改善呈负相关，表明政治竞争提高了道路基础设施预算执行的质量。如何引用:Saragih, p.n， & Khoirunurrofik, K.(2022)。印尼道路质量:与专项拨款和政治竞争有关吗?意义[j] .经济研究，11(1)，57-72。https://doi.org/10.15408/sjie.v11i1.21090。
