Introduction
This study case is in East Kalimantan. The period is from 1993 until 2012.

Figure 1.1 Map of East Kalimantan

The areas of East Kalimantan is 21.798.596 Ha which consist of 19.695.875 Ha of

land and 2.102.721 Ha of sea (4-12 Mile). East Kalimantan consist of 14 districs. The
10 regencies are Nunukan, Malinau, West Kutai, Bulungan, Berau, East Kutai, Kutai
Kartanegara, Penajam Paser Utara, and Tana Tidung. The 4 cities are Balikpapan,
Samarinda, Bontang, and Tarakan. Yet, in this case we studied 12 districs to compare
the before decentralization (1993 - 2000) and after decentralization (2001 - 2012).

Penajam Paser Utara is included in Paser regencies and Tana Tidung is included in
Bulungan regencies.

Figure 1.2 8 Strategic Areas of East Kalimantan

There is 8 strategic areas in the province of East Kalimantan which stated in draft
spatial East Kalimantan province. First area is Industrial Areas of Kariangau and
Buluminung in Balikpapan and PPU. Second area is areas of timber, shipping, industry
and services in Samarinda. Third area is Industrial Area of Gas and Condesate in
Bontang. Fourth area is Special Economic Zone of Maloy Batuta Trans Kalimantan in
East Kutai. The fifth area is Tourism industrial area of Derawan Island in Berau. The
Sixth area is Farm Industrial Estate in Paser and PPU and the seventh area is Farm
Industrial Estate in Kutai Kartanegara and West Kutai. The last area is strategic area
border of Mahakam Ulu.

The vision of East Kalimantan government is Advanced East Kalimantan 2018.

There are three agenda of East Kalimantan development economic. They are creating
the secure, democratic, and peaceful condition of East Kalimantan that supported by
good governance, creating the regional economy that has competitiveness and pro
citizen, and increasing the human resources quality and welfare.

The GRDP constant of East Kalimantan from 1993 - 2012 tend to increase every
time. Period 2000-2012, GRDP Constant price With Oil and Gas increase significantly
from 82,45 Trillion rupiahs in 1993 to 110.079 Trillion rupiahs in 2012. Period 20002012, GRDP Constant price Without Oil and Gas increase significantly from 82,45
Trillion rupiahs in 1993 to 83.59 Trillion rupiahs in 2012. Oil and Gas dominated the
structure of GRDP East Kalimantan. There is big difference value between GRDP
constant price with oil and gas and GRDP constant without oil and gas. Economic
growth in East Kalimantan and most of the districs is fluctuated.

Figure 3.1. Average GRDP Per Capita of Regions in East Kalimantan, 1993-2012

Figure 3.1 shows there are some regions that have GRDP per Capita higher than
average GRDP per capita of East Kalimantan. They are Bontang, Balikpapan, Kutai
Kartanegara, and East Kutai. The main sectors that have role in that three regions are
manufacture, mining and quarrying. Regions that have GRDP per Capita lower than
average GRDP per capita of East Kalimantan are Paser, West Kutai, Berau, Malinau,
Bulungan, Nunukan, Samarinda, and Tarakan.

Figure 3.2 . Economic Structure of East Kalimantan Based on Regional Typology,
1993-2012

Based on Klassen typology, East Kalimantan is divided into four area:

a. High income and high growth area
District that includes the category of advanced and fast growing sub-district
generally developed regions both in terms of development or growth rate. East
Kutai and Bontang are high growth and high income districts in East
Kalimantan.
b. High income but low growth area
This district is a district that is relatively advanced but within a few years of
growth are relatively small, due to the suppression of the main activities of the
subdistrict. Kutai Kartanegara is high income but low growth district in East
Kalimantan.

c. High growth but low income area

This district is a district that has great potency but itcan not be processed
properly, therefore the income is still below the average. Berau and West Kutai
are high growth but low income districts in East Kalimantan.
d. Low income and low growth area
This district is a subdistrict that are economically very underdeveloped , both in
terms of economic growth and income per capita. Tarakan, Bulungan,
Balikpapan, Samarinda, Paser, Nunukan and Malinau are low growth and low
income districts in East Kalimantan.

INEQUALITY
1. Economic Inequality
Economic equality among region is phenomenon which has been long
enough existing. Result of development simply has not fully is enjoyed equally
by all layer or various resident factions of all area or equally has not fully can
overcome inequality problems multi region.
Williamson ( 1965) studied about the relation of inter disparity regional
with level of development of economics, by using economics data which has
develop and is being growing, found that during development early stage,
disparity regional becomes bigger and development concentration of in certain
areas. At phase which more matured from growth of economics seen existence
of balance multi region and disparity decreases with significant.
Inequality describes the gap between the rich (high income) and the
poor (low income) (Taylor, 2012). Inequality is different from poverty but
related to it. Inequality concerns variations in living standards across a whole
population. By contrast, poverty focuses only on those whose standard of living
falls below an appropriate threshold level (such as a poverty line) (McKay,
2002).

2. Measure the Inequality

Measuring changes in inequality helps determine the effectiveness of
policies aimed at affecting inequality and generates the data necessary to use
inequality as an explanatory variable in policy analysis (Anonim, 2002).
The personal or size distribution of income is the most commonly used
by economist. It deals with individual persons/households and the total incomes
they receive. A common method is to divide the population into distinct
groups/sizes such as: successive quintiles (fifths) or deciles (tenths). The ratio of
the incomes received by the top 20% and the bottom 40% of the population
called a Kuznets ratio. Another commonly measures are Lorenz Curves and Gini
Coefficients. In this task, we will more concern about the other measures, that
are Williamson Index and Entropy Theil Index.

a. Williamson Index
Regional inequality can be measured by a formula :

where :
yi

: GRDP per capita of province i

: GRDP per capita of benchmarking province

Ai : Number of population in province i

: Number of population of benchmarking province
The lower WI or closer to 0, the lower regional inequality.
The higher WI or higher than 0, the higher regional inequality.
b. Entropy Theil Index
The concept of entropy of a distribution is essentially an application of
the concept of information theory to measure economic inequality and
concentration of industry.
The Theil index offer many advantage compare to other indexes. It allow
us :

11

To make comparison over time/ in certain period, not just in one point of
time

To measure in smaller geographic sub unit

The formula :

Where:
I (y) = total entropy index of spatial inequality in Indonesia
Yi = jobs segment of province i to total GDP in Indonesia
The lower Entropy Theil index, the lower regional inequality.
The higher Entropy Theil index, the higher regional inequality.

Figure 3.3. Williamson Index and Theil Index in East Kalimantan,
1994-2012

Williamson index curve is close than 1, so it means the inequality in East

Kalimantan is relatively high between its districts. Both of the Williamson
curve and Theil curve, they show similar trend. They go upward trend in
1993-2001 and then they go downward trend in 2002-2012. It means at the
beginning the inequality tends to increase, but at a time it tends to decrease.

Figure 3.4. Curve Between GRDP Per Capita in East Kalimantan and
Williamson Index, 1994-2012

The result of empirical test in 12 regions of East Kalimantan during 19942012 shows the inverted U-curve. It means at the beginning of the growth of
inequality get worse and at subsequent stages inequality decreased, but at a
time the inequality will increase again and finally decreases again. It proves
that East Kalimantan can follow the Kuznets hypothesis.

Figure 3.5. Curve Between GRDP Per Capita in East Kalimantan and
Theil Index, 1994-2012
Similar with Williamson index, curve betweeen GRDP per capita in East
Kalimantan and Theil index shows the inverted U-curve. It means at the
beginning of the growth of inequality get worse and at subsequent stages
inequality decreased, but at a time the inequality will increase again and
finally decreases again. It proves that East Kalimantan can follow the
Kuznets hypothesis.

Leading Sector by Location Quotient (LQ) of East Kalimantan

3.1 Backgrounds
Location quotient (LQ) analysis is a device for gauging the relative specialization
of a region in selected industries (Bendavid-Val, 1991). Location quotient ratio that
provide a convenient way to examine the specialization of economic activity in a region
is basically a way of quantifying how concentrated a particular industry, cluster,
occupation, or demographic group is in a region as compared to the nation.
LQ provides information about (1) what industry the region has and does not have,
(2) the extent to which each industry is under- or overrepresented in the region
compared to the nation (3) the extent to which the region's import of goods and services
can be reduced by production within its area (that is how much import substitution
might be possible) (4) the extent to which the output of its export industries can be
justifiably for export trade enhancement (Kuncoro, 2002). A time series of location
quotients can be computed for relative trend detection (Bendavid-Val, 1991).

3.2. Formula of Location Quotient (LQ)

Formula of Location quotient is an arithmatic computation of ratio between
highlight regional relative productivity consideration i.e. revenues, value added, or
output measures could serve as reference variables.

3.2.1 Static Location Quotient (SLQ)

Folowing two alternative formula of SLQ, for computing a location quotient
(Bendavid, 1972); (Bendavid, 1991); (Kuncoro, 2014):

Xr/RVr
LQ = ------------------Xn/RVn

Xr/Xn
or

LQ = ----------------RVr/RVn

15

Note:
Xr

: Production Value Sector r in the region (Regency)

RVr

: Total regional GDP in the region (Regency)

Xn

: Production value sector r in the benchmark region (Province)

RVn : Total regional GDP in the benchmark region (Province)

The arithmatic nature of the location quotient leads to the following rules of location
quotient evaluation.

LQ > 1:

If the location quotient is greater that 1, the region is more

specialized than the benchmark region (Province) in the study sector.

LQ < 1:

If the location quotient is less than 1, the region is less specialized

than the benchmark region (Province) in the study sector.

LQ = 1:

If the location quotient is equal to 1, the region and the benchmark

region (province) specialize to an equal degree in the study sector.

3.2.2 Dynamic Location Quotient (DLQ)

DLQ introduces using growth rate by assuming that each value-added sectors as
well as having an average GDP growth rate per year on their own during the period
between the year zero (0) and year t (t). By using the notation gi and Gi will be used to
express the rate of growth of the sector (i) in the area (j) and in the region for
comparison. IPPij is the potential for the development of the sector index (i) in the area
(j) and IPPSi is potential for the development of the sector index (i) in the comparison
area (Kuncoro, 2002).
Formula of Dynamic Location Quotient (DLQ) (Kuncoro, 2002):

1 gij

g
IPPSij

j
DLQij

IPPSi
1 Gi

1 G

LQ > 1: Development of the sector (i) region (j) higher than other areas of
potential growth sectors in the region set, so in the future if the

16

situation does not change then the sector can be expected as the sector
ahead of the competition.

LQ < 1: Potential development of the sector (i) region (j) is lower than the
potential development of other sectors in the region set of area. This
situation shows that as long as the situation remains as it is, then in the
future, this sector will not compete with other areas within the sector
the same set.

LQ = 1; Potential development of the sector (i) region (j) is proportional to the

potential development of other sectors in the region set.

Some districts in East Kalimantan still rely on natural resources such as mining and
quarrying, live stock, forestry and fishery as leading sector in economic. However, the
others start to rely on services and trade, hotel and restaurants sector. Table 3.1 shows
three main leading sectors for each district, weather table 3.2 shows three main districts

Structural Transformation Index of East Kaliamantan

Economic activities in East Kalimantan can be seen from the relationship between

structural transformation and economic growth. Structural transformation can be

calculated by Structural Information Index (STI), by following formula:

STI Sharei 20002012 Sharei19932000

i 9

where:
STI = Structural Transformation Index
Share i 1993-2000 =share the component in period before decentralization (year 1993-2000)
Share i 2000-2012 =share the component in period after decentralization (year 2001-2012)
i = 9 sectors that contribute to GRDP
(Kuncoro and Idris, 2010)

Figure 4.1 shows the results of the calculation of STI in East Kalimantan using 9
sectors that contribute to GRDP since 1993 to 2012. The fast structural transformation is
happen in some districts, which are Balikpapan, Nunukan, Pasir, Berau, and the highest
transformation isMalinau. However, only Berau that also gets fast growth of GRDP.

On the other side, some districts such KutaiTimur, Bontang, Samarinda and Kutai Barat
get high GRDP growth, but in low structural transformation. Kutai Kartanegara,
Tarakan and Bulungan face the low GRDP growth and also low structural
transformation. To see clearer what sector that change in every districts in each
categories, share of 9 sectors to GRDP are tried to be plotted in diagram, as follows:

1.

Low GRDP growth and Low Structural Transformation

Kutai Kartanegara,Tarakan and Bulungan are included to low GRDP growth and low

structural transformation category. As figure 4.2, in KutaiKartanegara, since 1993,

mining and quarrying sector give highest sharing to GRDP, without any shifting from
other sectors. Similar to KutaiKartanegara, there is no structural transformation in
Tarakan. Trade, hotel and restaurant sector in Tarakan has highest share to GRDP since
1993 to 2012, as it shown in Figure 4.3.

Bulungan also categorized as low GRPD growth and low structural transformation
although there is shifting in majority growth sharing from livestock, forestry, and
fishery to mining and quarrying. Start from 2005, mining and quarrying started increase
and surpass livestock, forestry, and fishery sector. The level of structural
transformation, however, is still below the average. The shifting of those sectors can be
seen in figure 4.4.

High GRDP growth and LowStructural Transformation

Kutai Timur, Kutai Barat, Bontang and Samarindahas economic growth below the

average. However, structural transformation is low. Kutai Timur and Kutai Barat always
suspended to mining and quarrying sectors. They never change the structural since 1993
to 2012, as shown in figure 4.5 and figure 4.6. Coal and gas are the most dominant
mining in Kutai Timur and Kutai Barat.

Conclusion
a. Regions that have GRDP per Capita higher than average GRDP per capita of
East Kalimantan are Bontang, Balikpapan, Kutai Kartanegara, and East Kutai
because their main sectors in that three regions are manufacture, mining and
quarrying.
b. Based on Klassen tipology for 1993-2012, Growth poles in East Kalimantan is
East Kutai and the backward region is in West Kutai, Paser, PPU, Bulungan,
Balikpapan, and Tana Tidung.
c. Both of Williamson index and Entropy Theil index, at the beginning of the
growth of inequality get worse and at subsequent stages inequality decreased,
but at a time the inequality will increase again and finally decreases again. It
proves that East Kalimantan can follow the Kuznets hypothesis
d. The most dominant leading sector in East Kalimantan is mining and quarrying
which located in West Kutai,, East Kutai, and Paser.
28

e. The low structural transformation and low GRDP happen in Kutai Kartanegara,
Tarakan and Bulungan.
f. The high structural transformation happen in Malinau, Nunukan, and Balikpapan
that also contribute to high GRDP growth.
