INFANT MORTALITY RATE DAN SCHOOL ENROLLMENT SEBAGAI DETERMINAN PERTUMBUHAN EKONOMI INDONESIA: PENDEKATAN ARDL BOUNDS TESTING. (2026). Musytari : Jurnal Manajemen, Akuntansi, Dan Ekonomi, 25(8). https://doi.org/10.2238/zjnpeg18

Abstract

Penelitian ini menganalisis dampak infant mortality rate dan school enrollment secondary sebagai representasi human capital, bersama gross capital formation sebagai variabel kontrol, terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi Indonesia periode 2000-2023. Data time series tahunan bersumber dari World Bank World Development Indicators, dianalisis menggunakan pendekatan Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) bounds testing. Hasil pengujian kointegrasi menunjukkan adanya hubungan keseimbangan jangka panjang antar variabel, dengan koefisien error correction term sebesar -0.932 yang mengindikasikan penyesuaian menuju ekuilibrium berlangsung cepat. Dalam jangka panjang, infant mortality rate berpengaruh negatif signifikan terhadap GDP per kapita, sementara school enrollment secondary dan gross capital formation berpengaruh positif signifikan. Namun, dalam jangka pendek, school enrollment dan gross capital formation justru berpengaruh negatif, mengindikasikan bahwa investasi human capital dan modal fisik membutuhkan periode penyesuaian sebelum terkonversi menjadi peningkatan produktivitas. Dummy COVID-19 turut berpengaruh negatif signifikan, mengonfirmasi dampak kontraktif pandemi terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi. Temuan ini menegaskan peran penting kesehatan dan pendidikan sebagai dua dimensi human capital dalam mendorong pertumbuhan ekonomi Indonesia dalam jangka panjang.
