Measurement and determinants of inclusive growth in Papua

Positive economic growth usually accompanies increasing levels of inequality. The concept of inclusive growth involves provinces receiving special funds to catch up with other provinces and improve welfare. We analyse Papua's social mobility curve and the influence of education, health, economic growth, unemployment, poverty and local government expenditure on inclusive growth using panel data analysis with Driscoll-Kraay. Papua has not achieved inclusive growth; only Jayapura city achieved it at the city and regencies' level. Moreover, between 2010 and 2016 health positively affected inclusive growth while education and economic growth negatively influenced inclusive growth.
