Abstract

The aim of this research is to analyze the factors that influence development inequality between city regions in North Sumatra Province, namely Economic Growth, HDI, Agglomeration and Regional Government Expenditures. This research uses a panel data analysis method with Fixed Effect Model (FEM) estimation to determine the effect of independent variables on the dependent variable. Development inequality between regions is measured using the concept of Relative GRDP per Capita which was popularized by Jaime Bonet (2006). Based on the results of panel data regression analysis with FEM estimation, it shows that the economic growth variable has a positive and insignificant effect on the inequality of urban regional development in North Sumatra Province. HDI has a positive and significant influence on the inequality of urban regional development in North Sumatra Province. Agglomeration has a negative and significant influence on the inequality of urban regional development in North Sumatra Province. Government capital expenditure has a positive and insignificant effect on the inequality of urban regional development in North Sumatra Province. In this research, the calculated F value is 317.9561 > f table, namely 2.47901 and the significance value is 0.000000 < 0.05, so H₀ is rejected and Ha is accepted, meaning Economic Growth, HDI, Agglomeration and Regional Government Capital Expenditures Together.
