- Abstract
This study aims to measure the productivity of local government spending in alleviating poverty in West Java, Indonesia. The input used were local government spendings per capita, which consists of spending on education, health, economy, social protection, as well as housing and public facilities. The output applied was poverty reduction. The measurements of government spending efficiency and productivity were carried out in 26 local governments in West Java Province in 2018-2020. Malmquist productivity index was applied as analytical method. The results show that the average of TFP (total factor productivity) was 0.965. It shows the low productivity level of local government spending in poverty alleviation. Furthermore, only 12 local governments (46% of 26 local governments) were able to use spending productively in reducing poverty.
