Pengaruh Transfer Pemerintah Pusat terhadap Perilaku Fiskal Pemerintah Daerah di Provinsi Kalimantan Timur
Abstract: Over the last decade
of Indonesia's fiscal decentralization era, the amount of intergovernmental
fiscal transfers has increased substantially. The increase of intergovernmental
fiscal transfers is expected to reduce the burden of local economy without
sacrificing the quality of public service. This study aims to investigate
whether the block grant transfer affect the spending behavior of local
government. Using Pool Least Square method and taking East Kalimantan Province
as case study, this study found the existance of flypaper effect. This finding
emphasize the view of any increase in block grant of transfer will only induce
higher spending. Therefore, in order to achieve the independency of local
government as the objective of decentralization, some efforts should be taken
to minimize the impact of flypaper effect.
Keywords: central government
