This model can be searched through the following tests: Chow test The Chow test is a test used for the first time to determine the most suitable model for use between the Fixed Effect Model (FEM) and the Common Effect Model (CEM)
Hausman Test The Hausman test is a test that is carried out to determine the appropriate model to use between the Fixed Effect Model (FEM) or the Random Effect Model (REM)
Summary
A process that causes the per capita income of the population in a country to increase over a long period can be interpreted as economic development. Central Java's GRDP in 2012 is ranked 4th in Indonesia compared to other provinces with a GRDP value of IDR 210,848.42 billion at constant prices with base year 2000 (Firmansyah, 2014). In 2020 Central Java's GRDP at constant prices with base year 2010 reached IDR 965,629.09 billion. Unemployment is an undesirable problem that can occur in every country around the world and if this unemployment problem is not resolved immediately, the contribution of unemployed graduates, nation, society and even state will increase (Hossain et al, 2018). In some developing countries the problem of unemployment, especially for young people, has become a threat to social, economic and political stability (Msigwa & Kipesha, 2013)
