Indonesia Is Not
One Economy.
National aggregates hide the thing worth knowing. A price series averaged across 34 provinces cannot show a market failing to integrate with the one next to it, and a national growth figure cannot show a province whose structure never shifted. We work at the level where those differences are still visible.
Reading Regions
From Primary Records
Every series below is collected at the smallest unit the source publishes — market, regency, corridor — and only aggregated afterwards, if the question requires it.
PIHPS — strategic food prices
Daily prices for strategic commodities across 359 individual markets in 34 provinces. Collected per market rather than as provincial averages, which is what makes dispersion and transmission analysis possible.
Bank IndonesiaRegional accounts and welfare
Gross regional product by regency and city, alongside farmer terms-of-trade and household indicators — the basis for structural diagnostics that separate a growing region from a transforming one.
BPSInfrastructure timing
Opening dates for toll road sections and other corridor infrastructure, treated as staggered treatment timing rather than a single before-and-after break.
Operator disclosuresDigital activity signals
Review corpora and search demand used as high-frequency proxies for regional economic activity where official statistics arrive with a lag — validated against official series before any inference is drawn.
