Economic Policy of Transportation Network Services in Indonesia

Nowadays, information and communication technology and the lifestyle of the citizen, especially in big cities, seem inseparable, including in Indonesia. Unlike countries in Europe, Indonesia is still in the process of going to digital oriented societies. Based on the latest research of Center of Innovation Policy and Governance (CIPG), Indonesia’s internet penetration growth is the highest in Asia which reaches 51 percent. Indonesia’s National Statistics Office also reports that Information and Communications Industry has been growing rapidly (more than 8% per year) for the last five years.

We can see many Indonesian youths try to grasp this momentum by working or creating technology-based start-up companies. One of these Indonesia’s companies that has significant impact in the societies is called Gojek. Gojek, established in 2009, is Uber-like company that provides network services for hiring vehicle and delivering goods and services. This company quickly gains popularity since it offers network services for hiring not only car but also motorcycle which is unfortunately still the quickest and cheapest transportation in Indonesia.

Today, there are two major companies (Gojek and Grab) that provide the same services. Not all parts of the societies are happy with the existence of those companies, the conventional transportation (non-application-based transportation) that choose not to join those companies lose their market. They demand the government to regulate those companies. There are two main demands, regulate the tariffs and the quota of the application-based transportation. More detailed:

First, we need the required libraries : require (maps) #loading maps package require (mapdata) #loading mapdata package library(ggplot2) #ggplot2 package library(readxl) #package for read .xlsx file library(ggthemes) #package for ggplot2 theme library(ggrepel) #extendig the plotting package ggplot2 for maps Then, we prepare the data that contains the information of provinces name, latitude, and longitude of every province in Indonesia, e.g. : You can download the data in here: Data Now open the file and create the polygon: setwd( "your file's path" ) #set your own directory mydata<- read _xlsx( "dummy.xlsx" ) #assign the data to "mydata" View(mydata) #view the data, notice the column of "latitude","longitude", "woe_label" glo...

Who Retweets Whom? A Quantitative and Qualitative Analysis of a Social Network

Social network analysis (SNA) is the process of investigating social structures using networks and graph theory. It characterizes networked structures in terms of nodes or vertex (individual actors, people, or things within the network) and the ties, edges, or links (relationships or interactions) that connect them. I won’t talk too much detail on the SNA theories as you can easily find them on the internet. There are some sources that provide data for SNA such as Stanford and kdnuggets . In this simple analysis, I extract Twitter retweet data using “twitteR” package and analyse network retweet of a certain topic using “igraph” package in R. This tutorial from cosmopolitanvan may help you to replicate this work. As one of the largest social networks on the Internet, Twitter can be used for expanding your business or website's audience. It is free to create an account, it is easy to start tweeting to promote your work or share your ideas and thoughts. Twitter has 284 mil...

Big Data in Credit Scoring

Global Findex (Financial Inclusion Index) report which was released in 2018 shows only 48.9 percent of the adults in Indonesia own a bank account. Millions of unbanked Indonesian adults work in private sector and get paid in cash. What is the main reason to these young adults not having bank account? the reason is the distance and surprisingly 69 percent of this population segment have their own mobile phone. We see some efforts from the banking institution to reach out this unbanked population but it is not enough, there is still a wide gap. We may now realize that why there are many advanced technology multi-finance companies occur in the recent years, these companies fill the gap. They know the characteristics of the unbanked population and by utilizing the technology they can reach out more of this population. But, reaching this population is not without some risks. Multi-finance companies compete with each other to capture the market, they will offer many ...
