The Effects of Human Mobility Restriction During Covid-19 Pandemic to Indonesia's Economy

Abstract

In response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, several national governments have implemented lockdown restrictions to reduce the risk of infection. However, this will have an impact on the economy of a country, including Indonesia. This study will analyze the effect of mobility restrictions on the economic growth in Indonesia during the pandemic in 2020. The data used are real-time data on community mobility report provided by Google. Data processing begins with factor analysis, followed by multiple linear regression. This study aims to model the changes in community mobility as exogenous factors affecting economic growth. As a result, restrictions on community mobility, particularly related to job factors, significantly affect the economic development of an area, particularly in the provinces of Java Island. The resulting model would explain 96.97 per cent of the variations in regional economic growth in Indonesia in 2020. Besides, this study predicts that 25 provinces will experience a recession in the third quarter of 2020. This forecast is the result of economic growth estimated using the current condition. Learning the association between mobility and economy is essential to understand how much restrictions or relaxations needed that can be appropriate to our economy during the pandemic.

Fadly (2021) showed the influence of human mobility on jobs and non-jobs factors on economic growth.…”

“…There will be office closures, flight restrictions, and restrictions on activities outside the home with this policy. Thus, people with high mobility will be disturbed by their economic activities with this policy (Fadly, 2021).…”
