Abstract:

Development is an ongoing process of change within a society that involves improvements in quality of life, economic progress, social development, and infrastructure enhancement. The UNDP introduced the concept of the Human Development Index (HDI) to measure the improvement of human quality of life. This concept is known as the IPM in Indonesia. The purpose of this study is to analyze the efficiency of local government spending in the education, health, and economic sectors on IPM in Lampung Province using the Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) method. The results of the panel data regression analysis show that spending in the education, health, and economic sectors has a significantly positive impact on the education, health, and economic indexes. The SFA analysis indicates that the use of spending in the education, health, and economic sectors in the districts of Lampung Province has been efficient.
