<p><em>Tourism as the core economic of Bali has been able to attract more than two million foreign tourists in the 2000s. The tourism sector experienced a sharp decline after the bomb tragedy in 2002 and 2005. People who depend on this sector are affected by the average level of individual income. Indonesian Family Life Survey data is used as the main data using the Modified Difference in Differences Regression method. Determining the impact of the Bali bombing tragedy on the level of individual income in Bali and West Nusa Tenggara can be answered as the purpose of this study. The Bali bombing had a significant impact on individual income levels. Middle income group individuals are significantly affected the most. Low and high income group were not significantly affected. This finding is expected to become a benchmark that the tourism sector which is affected by social shocks must be immediately restored</em></p>

<p>This study attempts to assess threshold levels of income inequality and human development quality on economic growth for 34 provinces in Indonesia during 2022-2023, after COVID-19 pandemic. The cross-section threshold regression was employed. The findings reveal that the threshold levels of income inequality in 2022 and 2023 were 0.319 and 0.345, respectively. Furthermore, the threshold levels of human development index in 2022 and 2023 were 71.65 and 71.25, respectively. The condition posits that the quality of income distribution and human development will be marginally lower in 2023 than in 2022, when viewed in the context of economic growth. Therefore, the central and local governments are challenged to design economic development under inclusive and sustainable perspectives. Their policies can be stimulated to improve the quality of labor (educated, skilled labors, and productive) and increase the equality of economic activities for all provinces. Besides, those governments should lead all economic agents to obtain and guarantee the quality of human development in the long-run.</p>
