Abstract

This study analyses the income convergence in the Gunungkidul Region, Indonesia and the role of infrastructure and employment in supporting this convergence. The data published by the Central Bureau of Statistics is used in this study. Then, this study uses the regression analysis of dynamic panel data to see whether the poor district will tend to grow faster than rich ones so that all economies will eventually converge in terms of per capita income. The results show that there is an income convergence in Gunungkidul Region. The infrastructure and employment are a useful tool for supporting income convergence.
