Abstract:

This study aims to analyze the effect of the Human Development Index (HDI), poverty rate, and unemployment on economic growth in East Java Province. The data used are panel data from 36 districts/cities during the period 2019–2023. The model used is a dynamic panel data model with the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) Arellano-Bond approach to overcome the problems of endogeneity and temporal dynamics. The results show that HDI has a significant effect on economic growth, while poverty and unemployment have significant and insignificant effects, respectively. These findings emphasize the importance of human development, poverty alleviation and unemployment in driving regional economic growth.
