Inequality and the 2019 Presidential Election in Indonesia: Beyond Identity Politics
This study intends to understand vote based on economic evaluationat the 2019 presidential election in which Joko Widodo wasincumbent, and Prabowo was the challenger.

Redistributive policies are understood asgovernment policies intended to reduce the gap between the rich andpoor people or inequality. This empirical study uses merged data fromBPS, Bappenas, and the KPU.
