    Book Dialogue #1 feat. Prof. Iwan Jaya Asis: Navigating the Regional Fracture: Why the Periphery and Small Ones Matters

    By definition, dualism is a state of being dual or consisting of two parts; it is reflected in the coexistence of two systems, such as in the core regions and periphery (small) regions. Dualism is closely linked to inequality, especially when discussing countries with large diversity among their regions. This is evident in Indonesia, with a diverse background of the country, it is clear that there is evidence of dualism in growth and MSME. It is important to understand endogenous forces, such as agglomeration, and the structure of economic relations between regions as part of prevailing institutions when addressing interregional inequality. Similarly, in the context of MSMEs, the focus is on their perceptions of social capital and various policies. In the first episode of the Book Dialogue in 2024, KANOPI FEB UI had the opportunity to invite Prof. Iwan Jaya Azis, as Senior Economist and Professor at the University of Indonesia and Cornell University, to have a dialogue about the book "Periphery and Small Ones Matter: Interplay of Policy and Social Capital", which he wrote and published with Bank Indonesia. The results of this discussion will reveal that in policy making, especially to address deep-rooted problems such as inequality, there is often a gap between what institutions are trying to address with their policies and society's perspective.

    Paper Dialogue #1 feat. Abdillah Ahsan: Does Tobacco Control Affect Indoneisa's Economy?

    Biang kerok kemiskinan Indonesia dibintangi oleh komoditas primadona di Indonesia, yaitu rokok. Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS) pada tahun 2021 melaporkan bahwa rokok adalah komoditas yang turut ambil andil dalam garis kemiskinan di Indonesia. Di tengah berbagai dampak kesehatan yang mungkin timbul, rata-rata rumah tangga miskin rela mengonsumsi 11 bungkus rokok setiap bulan. Tingginya konsumsi rokok ini menjadi penghambat dalam memutus rantai kemiskinan. Persoalan ini kemudian mendorong pemerintah untuk turun tangan dalam pengendalian rokok dengan wacana penerapan FCTC atau Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, kerangka yang mengatur beberapa hal krusial seperti iklan promosi dan sponsor, kemasan dan pelabelan, serta harga dan cukai rokok. Walaupun FCTC telah gencar diterapkan oleh negara-negara Asia, perkembangan kebijakan ini mengalami stagnasi di Indonesia – menjadi sebuah kerangka yang tak kunjung ditandatangani atau diratifikasi. Beberapa pihak terutama dari penggiat industri rokok beranggapan bahwa pengimplementasian FCTC di Indonesia dapat memberikan dampak buruk bagi perekonomian Indonesia. Pertanyaannya adalah apakah benar pengesahan FCTC dapat berdampak buruk terhadap perekonomian Indonesia? Dalam episode pertama Paper Dialogue di tahun 2023, KANOPI FEB UI berkesempatan mengundang Bapak Abdillah Ahsan, selaku kepala Lembaga Demografi FEB UI, untuk berdialog mengenai paper “FCTC Ratification, Smoking Prevalence, and GDP per capita: lessons for Indonesia and the rest of the world,” yang beliau tulis bersama dengan beberapa peneliti lainnya. Hasil diskusi ini akan mengungkapkan bahwa persepsi terkait rokok yang selama ini beredar tidak sepenuhnya akurat.
