Abstrak
We will use three well-known games from the ield of behavioral economics, i.e. the dictator game, the ultimatum game and the trust game, to study individual
behavior and economic decision- making.
The objective is to study the economic behavior of individuals and examine how group identities and culture afect economic decisions. In particular, we are
interested in the impact of trust, willingness to cooperate and group identities on individuals’ economic behavior and the eiciency of economic interaction.

Abstrak
The objective of this study is to analyze the efects of nonfarm employment on Javanese rural economy and to demonstrate policy implications for poverty
reduction and rural development policy. This study includes three issues to achieve the objective: the efects of nonfarm employment on income inequality
within rural village, the efects of nonfarm employment on farmers’ production and investment behavior, and the factor of rural residents’ occupational choice
and occupational strategies.
The progress of economic development in Indonesia afects not only urban areas and industrial sector but also rural areas and agricultural sector. One of the major
factors of economic development that afect rural areas is the increase of nonfarm employment inside and outside rural areas. Traditional nonfarm employments in
rural areas include agricultural hired labor, small business such as small shop or merchant of vegetables, civil servants. However, recently, with an increase of the
demand for labor in urban areas and around rural areas, housekeeper, factory worker, and construction workers outside the rural village has been increasing.
Those recent nonfarm employments give the workers high salaries compared to

traditional nonfarm jobs. Some villagers can earn from nonfarm employment as much as from large-scale farming. Therefore, it is considered that the increase of
nonfarm employment lead to improve the income of rural residents, and can be an important opportunity for them to escape poverty.
The features in Javanese rural areas include the high population density, the low rates of farm land per capita, and the existence of many smallholders and
landless households. In the rural villages, there are not only farmers but also landless households who engaged in agricultural hired labor, and various small
businesses which are related to agriculture and nonagricultural activities. There arc also farmers whichhave the farm land, but they do not have enough land to
feed their families, therefore, must engage in nonfarm employment. In general, large landholders are ranked in the top of the economic stratiications in Javanese
rural villages. Conversely, smallholders and landless households are ranked in the bottom of the economic stratiications, in other words, they are the poor household
in Javanese village. Considering the high population density and the low rates of farm land per capita, not only agriculture, but also nonfarm employments have
an important role to improve the incomes of subsistence farmers and landless households who are poor and to decrease the poverty rates in rural villages.
On the other hand, it is possible to think that the increase in nonfarm employment does not necessarily lead to poverty reduction in rural villages. This is because the
villagers are sometimes required the sophisticated human capitals such as high education and professional career to get a high-wage nonfarm employment. In
such situations, it is considered that relatively wealthy household can aford to invest their human capitals and can get lucrative nonfarm jobs, while the poor
household can’t engage in such jobs because they don’t have enough money to invest their human capitals. In this case, even if the lucrative nonfarm employment
can increase the average income in the rural villages, substantial poverty don’t decreased and furthermore economic inequality within the villages worsen.
To reduce the substantial poverty in rural areas, it is necessary for the poor to engage in the lucrative nonfarm job. These suggest that an increase in nonfarm
employment has the potential to lead to not only poverty reduction in rural areas, but also positive or negative impact on economic disparity in rural areas.
In this study, I analyze the impact of nonfarm employment in rural Javanese economy, and show policy implications for poverty reduction and rural
development in Java. Java region is the center of economic and social activities

and social stability in Indonesia but also to the stability of the economy in the world.

Abstrak
The Asian green mussel, Perna viridis, is an ecologically and economically important bivalve species in Indonesia. It attaches to hard substrates and densely inhabits
eutrophic habitats. This characteristic is discussed to be mainly due to its ability to withstand environmental stressors common in anthropogenic inluenced habitats.
However, diferences between P. viridis populations in their ability to resist abiotic stress have been observed. This PhD project is to elucidate the role eutrophication
plays in the development of higher stress resistance among certain populations of the mussels. Aim is to distinguish between genetic adaptation, acclimation to
habitat factors and food availability as the main mechanisms leading to high stress tolerance in P. viridis. This study shall also help to understand the relationship
between diferent populations of the mussel in Indonesia. It is also to determine where earlier found diferences in the ratio of lesh weight to shell weight Body
