Contents Introduction

This research applies the CGE model developed by Sakamoto (2012b) to analyze regional disparities and income inequalities of Indonesia. The model employs the social accounting matrix database of Resosudarmo et al. (2009), which divides Indonesia into five regions and is especially suited to analyzing regional disparities. Moreover, the database divides workers into 16 categories from which a hierarchical labor market can be constructed. Policies for reducing regional disparity are simulated through the CGE model and evaluated.
