Abstract

Fiscal federalism copes with the division of governmental function and financial relations among levels of authorities. The objective of this research was to give empirical evidence about the effects of Local Own-Source Revenue (PAD), Revenue Sharing Fund (DBH), General Allocation Fund (DAU), Special Allocation Fund (DAK), and Local Expenditure (BD) on economic growth and poverty level. The data of this study were sourced from secondary data. The data collection method used was mechanical observation technique. Panel data from 35 districts and municipalities in Central Java province throughout 2009-2018 were analyzed by multiple regression analysis. This study concludes that balancing funds have an affect on increasing economic growth (except DBH) and reducing poverty levels even though not as effective as PAD. In contrast, local expenditure does not have an affect on increasing economic growth and reducing poverty levels. This study supports the fiscal federalism theory, that the allocation of sources can be accomplished effectively by states and local governments. Balancing funds have an affect on increasing economic growth and decreasing poverty levels.
