Analisis disparitas pembangunan wilayah di Provinsi Papua Barat

Abstract

Although economic growth has increased over 2005-2008 period, macro economics condition showed an imbalance among the regencies/cities. Based on analysis using Entropi Index, Williamson Index, Theil Index, Location Quontient, Shift Share Analysis and Panel Data Regression, it showed that horizontal gap exist caused by variation in GDRP per capita, population, funding balance allocation and human development index. In general, agriculture sector has contributed greatly to economic growth, although it has experienced a transition to the industrial and service sectors. The results also show sectors of mining and quarrying, manufacturing industry, transport and communication and finance sector have uneven distribution. Local government should be looking forward how to build new paradigm based on leading sectors as prime mover to reduce inequality.
