Abstract
The Covid-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on people's lives. The economic sector is so affected that a balanced and well-targeted policy is needed to overcome the difficulties arising from the pandemic. Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) which has been intended to reduce the spread of Covid-19 indirectly makes economic activities in production, consumption, and distribution to be hampered, so to speak, cause an economic contraction. The national economy was contracted by 5.32 percent (y-o-y) and the economy of East Java was contracted 5.90 percent (y-o-y) in the second quarter of 2020. Nevertheless, there are several economic sectors that still have good performance and have contributed greatly to East Java's Gross Regional Domestic Product. Using Location Quotient (LQ) analysis, this study aims to identify basic sectors and formulate the composition and shift of the basic sectors by using GRDP as an indicator of regional growth
Highlights
The Covid-19 pandemic that hit Indonesia caused an economic slowdown, including in East Java.Until now, efforts and preventive measures have not been found to stop the spread of the virus
Control measures carried out with Large-Scale Social Restrictions/Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar (PSBB) must really be able to minimize the impact on the health care system (Raoult, Zumla, Locatelli, Ippolito, & Kroemer, 2020)
The results of the analysis show the agricultural, forestry and fisheries sectors; mining in supporting the economy of East Java
Summary
The Covid-19 pandemic that hit Indonesia caused an economic slowdown, including in East Java.Until now, efforts and preventive measures have not been found to stop the spread of the virus. Control measures carried out with Large-Scale Social Restrictions/Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar (PSBB) must really be able to minimize the impact on the health care system (Raoult, Zumla, Locatelli, Ippolito, & Kroemer, 2020). It is unclear whether similar measures should be taken by regions with a lower number of sufferers ersonbecause each region has a different response in dealing with the spread of Covid-19. Sosa and Sosa (2020) mention several factors that can affect the spread of a pandemic which may complicate modeling, so that it will be more difficult to predict. Environmental factors, air humidity, and temperature are relevant in determining the transmission and stability of viruses
