| Research Abstract |
This research explored the factors contributing to the interregional income inequality in Indonesia and Japan, based on the intersectoral/interregional structure and interregional factor mobility. It found that the productivity differential component, which is a result of the region's specific sector-by-sector productivity differentials, largely determines interregional income inequality throughout the entire observed years, both before and after the economic crisis of 1988 and postwar Japanese economy. Further, it found inefficient interregional capital mobility contributing to national growth, based on the factual finding that the resource-rich off-Java provinces had higher productivity but lower capital accumulation. The reverse is true of East Java and Jakarta, which are highly industrialized provinces in Java Island.
