Implementation of Law Number 14 of 2008 on Public Information Transparency in the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI)

Purpose: The House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia (DPR-RI) is an institution that is mandated and represents the voice of the people who have directly voted through general elections. This representation function can be effective and have a real impact if the DPR is open to providing information to the public. However, in reality, the parliament's commitment to public information disclosure is still questioned by many elements of society. Many incidents have caused the public to doubt the DPR's commitment to public information disclosure, such as information and documents related to the revision of the KPK Law, the Omnibus Law Bill, and the Job Creation Bill, among others. This study aims to analyze the implementation of public information disclosure policies in the DPR-RI.
 Methodology: The research method used in this study is descriptive qualitative, where primary and secondary data are obtained through in-depth interviews with predetermined key informants and literature studies related to the research topic.
 Result: The research findings indicate that the implementation of the Public Information Disclosure Law in the DPR-RI is still not optimal, particularly in the utilization of information disclosure media and information resources.
 Contribution: This research will contribute to expanding theoretical and practical knowledge regarding the implementation of public information disclosure policies in legislative institutions as part of communication policy studies.

Development of the implementation of public information disclosure by regional governments in Indonesia: a systematic literature review

One of the characteristics of a democratic country is an open government. The administration of the state can take place in democratic and open governance if it applies the principle of public information disclosure (PID) in the administration of its government. In this regard, the Government of Indonesia issued Law Number 14 of 2008 concerning the Openness of Public Information, which must be implemented by all public bodies at every level of government in Indonesia, starting from the central government, and provincial governments, to district/city governments. This study's purpose is to see the extent to which the development of PID implementation practices is at the local government level. The method used in this research is a systematic literature review (SLR) method, by collecting all the results of the latest study on implementing PID at the local government level in Indonesia and systematically analyzing them. From 674 published articles obtained from the scholar.google.com portal using the Publish & Perish application, a PRISMA flow diagram was carried out so that 69 reports were received that were directly related to implementing KIP in local governments in Indonesia. The results show that the quality of PPID institutions influences the implementation of KIP in local governments, the availability of legal umbrellas in the form of regional regulations and head regulations, the information media used, and the available public information according to general needs.

Public disclosure and private information acquisition: A global game approach

This paper studies public information disclosure in a model of dynamic financial markets with endogenous information acquisition. Due to an information complementarity, multiple equilibria may emerge, complicating comparative statics analysis. By adding noise to agents' information costs, we establish equilibrium uniqueness using global-game techniques. We show that while public information always crowds out private information in all underlying equilibria, it can crowd in private information acquisition in the unique global-game equilibrium. This result is driven by the strategic uncertainty introduced through the global-game refinement. The crowding-in effect is more pronounced when there is a high level of fundamental uncertainty, which supports the case for greater information disclosure during times of increased market volatility.

Planning environmental impact assessment law in China: Status quo, implementation problems and legislative reform

As the primary form of strategic environmental assessment (SEA) mandated by law in China, the planning environmental impact assessment (PEIA) serves to anticipate the likely environmental impacts that may arise out of the proposed plans. In this research, systematic reviews of local practice and major reforms of the PEIA system were conducted to have a comprehensive understanding of the implementation of the PEIA system, so as to clarify the direction and focus of PEIA lawmaking. PEIA documents issued by local governments in China since 2010 were collected to find the development and breakthrough of PEIA laws in local practice. Major reforms of the planning system and environmental governance system in recent years were also examined to find the outdated premises of PEIA laws. The results showed that today the PEIA laws face multiple problems in implementation, including the exclusion of policy EIA, outdated screening and scoping requirements, insufficient guarantee for quality of the review procedure, limited public participation and information disclosure, confusing circumstances for initiating follow-up assessment, and invalid legal liability for participants of the EIA process. To solve these problems through legislative reform, this paper suggests amending the Environmental Impact Assessment Law to extend planning EIA to policy EIA, update the screening and scoping requirements, adjust procedures for review of EIA documents, strengthen public participation and supervision, specify procedures for follow-up assessments, and improve legal liability for violating PEIA obligations.

Substitution or complementary effects between hosts and neighbors’ information disclosure: Evidence from Airbnb

Prior studies have attributed and confirmed the importance of hosts’ information disclosure on boosting their performance due to the prominent information asymmetry on peer-to-peer rental platforms. This study takes a step further by analyzing how hosts and neighbors’ disclosure of descriptions simultaneously and interactively influences the review volume and performance of Airbnb listings. Based on a panel dataset and fixed effect regression models, the results confirmed the findings of prior studies that self-disclosure of descriptions has a positive effect on the review volume and performance. We also initially find a substitute effect between self-disclosure of descriptions and neighbors’ disclosure of public information, with a complementary effect between self-disclosure of descriptions and neighbors’ disclosure of private information. As a novel attempt to analyze the effect of neighbors’ information disclosure on property performance, this study provides important implications for relevant literature and for hospitality professionals to improve information disclosure strategies.

Pandemic and insurance purchase: How do people respond to unprecedented risk and uncertainty?

We investigate how people insure themselves against an upsurge of risk and uncertainty during a pandemic. Using high-frequency, city-level insurance purchases data from the largest online insurance platform in China, we employ difference-in-differences strategies to quantify changes in insurance purchases before and after the COVID-19 outbreak relative to a corresponding period in 2019. We show that the pandemic induces a substantial increase in daily number of insurance purchase, with evident impact on both health and life insurance. We demonstrate that the increase mainly originates from an expanded number of consumers; and is not driven by compositional shifts. Particularly, we show that the observed increase is better explained by pandemic risk exposure than other mechanisms such as negative emotions and insurance awareness. Nevertheless, there is a notable discrepancy between changes in insurance purchases and COVID-19 risk exposure, which is driven by individuals' lack of information on pandemic. We find that the more direct and high-quality information people have, the more likely their decisions are to accord with the objective risk exposure. These findings reveal the key driving forces of the risk management responses under an unprecedented pandemic, and point to the importance and necessity of public information disclosure.
