Dampak Perubahan Harga Pangan terhadap Tingkat Kesejahteraan Rumah Tangga di Indonesia

Abstract

The most important people's welfare related food problem is increasing food prices. Food price induced welfare change varies by household groups, either by location (urban/rural), poverty status (poor/non-poor), and souces of incomes (agriculture/non-agricultural). The sources of the welfare change may also vary by food categories. This study aims to evaluate changes in household welfare in Indonesia by household groups and the contribution of food categories. The household welfare was measured with the Compensating Variation which was computed by using the Hicksian compensated price elasticities obtained from the estimated Linear Approximation Almost Ideal Demand System using the National Socio-Economic Survey March 2016 data. The results showed that in March 2016, welfare losses in all household groups, in urban areas higher than in rural areas, in poorer households higher than non-poor, in agricultural households higher than non-agricultural and the contribution of each food group to the decline in welfare levels varies among individual household groups. The largest contributor is food prices. Rice is the largest contributor for the rural, the poor and the agricultural households. Animal products, fruit, prepared food and beverage and cigarettes categories are the main contributors for the urban, the not poor and the non-agricultural households.

The Role of Rice’s Price in the Household Consumption in Indonesia

“…When the price of rice rose by one percent, the demand for other carbohydrate commodities increased by two percent as they were considered as a substitution. This is in line with Wijayati et al (2019) and Yuliana (2018), where they found that rice and other carbohydrates have a substitute relationship. When the price of other carbohydrates rises by one percent, the demand for rice goes up by 0.3 percent.…”

Intergrasi Pasar Beras Vertikal Antara Petani Dan Pedagang Grosir Di Indonesia

“…Petani mengharapkan harga beras yang dapat memberikan penghidupan buat petani, disisi lain bagi konsumen mengharapkan harga beras yang dapat terjangkau. Selain itu, beras juga merupakan produk pertanian yang memiliki nilai elasitisas pengeluaran kurang dari satu (Yuliana et al, 2019), hal ini berarti beras termasuk kedalam barang yang tidak elastik. Nilai elastisitas pengeluaran dibawah satu berimplikasi terhadap tingkat sesitivitas rumah tangga terhadap perbahan pengeluaran total dan harga sendiri dalam konsumsi beras cukup rendah, sehingga apabila terjadi kenaikan harga beras akan berdampak terhadap berkurangnya alokasi sumberdaya rumah tangga buat non beras.…”

The Dynamics of Rice Price in Cipinang Market Due to Shock of Pakistani Export Prices

“…This implies that the sensitivity of households to changes in total expenditure and own prices in rice consumption is quite low. This results in reduced resource allocation for non-rice due to increased rice prices (Yuliana et al, 2019;Abidin, 2015).…”
