An Econometric Assessment of the Impact of Regional Investment Policy on Poverty Reduction

This study examines the impact of regional investment policy on poverty reduction using an econometric approach. The research focuses on the extent to which investment activity contributes to increasing household income, expanding employment opportunities, stimulating economic growth, and, consequently, reducing poverty at the regional level. The study develops an analytical framework that considers investment volume, investment intensity, employment, household income, and other relevant socio-economic indicators as key factors associated with poverty reduction. Descriptive statistical analysis, correlation analysis, and econometric modeling are used to identify the direction and strength of the relationships between regional investment policy and poverty-related outcomes. The findings indicate that effectively targeted investment can contribute not only to expanding production capacity but also to creating sustainable employment opportunities and increasing household incomes. Based on the results, the study proposes policy directions aimed at improving the efficiency of regional investment allocation, promoting employment-generating investment, supporting high-value-added sectors, and enhancing the socio-economic effectiveness of investment projects. The research provides practical recommendations for improving regional investment policy as an instrument for sustainable poverty reduction.
