PENGARUH PRODUK DOMESTIK REGIONAL BRUTO (PDRB) TERHADAP KEMANDIRIAN FISKAL DAERAH KABUPATEN JEMBER

Abstract

This research aimed to analyze the effect of Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) on local fiscal independence of Jember Regency in 2007-2011. Jember Regency is an area with high level of economy in Ex-Besuki Residency region but, in fact, has not been able to make Jember become a fiscally independent region. The proportion of local revenue is still below 10% whereas the value of GRDP each year increases. The increased GRDP should be able to boost the increased local revenue. This is because local revenue is highly dependent on how far the region could boost economic growth in the region. This type of research was descriptive with quantitative and qualitative approaches. Data collection techniques used primary data by interview and secondary data by documentation and literature study. Data analysis used qualitative and quantitative data by regression analysis and Klassen’s typology. The research results showed that there was no significant effect of GRDP on local fiscal independence. This was because the rate of GRDP growth was relatively slow in increasing local revenue. Thus, even if GDP continued to rise, it was not seen in local revenue increase. Identification of each sector indicated that the sectors of trade, hotel and restaurant were in the leading sector category. For years 2012-2016 projection, it was shown that GRDP and local revenue had increased but still needed 19% in increasing GRDP in order to achieve fiscal independence of Jember Regency
