TY - JOUR A1 - Grimm, Michael A1 - Luck, Nathalie A1 - Steinhübel, Franziska T1 - Consumers' willingness to pay for organic rice: Insights from a non‐hypothetical experiment in Indonesia JF - Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics N2 - As in many high‐income countries, there is increasing awareness towards organic farming in many low‐ and middle‐income countries. Sustained local demand is an essential requirement for further adoption of organic farming by smallholders, who typically have only limited access to export markets. Until now, only few studies have explored the local willingness to pay (WTP) for organic products in low‐ and middle‐income countries in real purchase situations. This paper analyses the consumers' WTP for organic rice in urban and suburban Indonesia using an incentive‐compatible auction based on the Becker–DeGroot–Marschak (BDM) approach. We further study the effect of income and a randomised information treatment about the benefits of organic food on respondents' WTP. Estimates suggest that respondents are willing to pay an average price premium of 20% compared with what they paid for conventional rice outside our experiment. However, our results also indicate that raising consumers' WTP further is complex. Showing participants a video about health or, alternatively, environmental benefits of organic food was not effective in further raising WTP. The results can be used as a basis for the design of alternative awareness measures to increase knowledge, interest and demand for organic food.

Especially at risk are individuals with chronic diseases, since heat can exacerbate a variety of health conditions. In this article, I examine the heat‐morbidity relationship in the context of Indonesia, focusing on chronic, non‐communicable diseases, namely diabetes, cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. Using a novel dataset from the Indonesian national health insurance scheme Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional/Badan Penyelenggara Jaminan Sosial (BPJS) and linking it with meteorological data on the daily‐district level, I estimate the causal effect of high temperatures on the daily number of primary health care visits. The results show that on a hot day all‐cause visits and visits with a diagnosis of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases increase by 8%, 25% and 14%, respectively. These increases are permanent and not offset by visit displacement or ‘harvesting’. Visits related to respiratory diseases seem not to be affected by high temperatures. I use several climate change scenarios to predict the increase in visits and costs by the end of the century, which all forecast a substantial financial burden for the health care system. These results might have relevance for other middle‐income countries with similar climatic conditions.

Exhibition Audiences in Indonesia and Processes of Selection, Reception, and Appropriation Using the Example of the Exhibition "Raden Saleh and the Beginning of Modern Indonesian Painting" N2 - In der Dissertation «Ausstellungen und ihr Erfolg: (Kunst-)Geschichten befragen» wird ein Teilbereich der Bildungsforschung untersucht, nämlich die informelle Bildung im internationalen Kontext. Die Arbeit kombiniert eine ausführliche Analyse einer Ausstellung und deren Publikum und fokussiert sich dabei auf die Perspektive der Besucher*innen. Als Fallbeispiel dient die empirische Forschung zur kunsthistorischen Ausstellung «Raden Saleh und der Beginn der modernen indonesischen Malerei», die 2012 in der Nationalgalerie von Jakarta stattfand. Organisiert als kulturpolitisches Instrument vom Goethe-Institut Indonesien, stellte die Ausstellung eine bedeutende historische Persönlichkeit Indonesiens, Raden Saleh, in den Mittelpunkt. Besonders bemerkenswert war, dass seine Werke erstmals retrospektiv mit Originalgemälden in seiner Heimat gezeigt wurden. Die Ausstellung führte neue Narrative, neu Ausstellungs- und Vermittlungskonzepte ein und weckte großes Interesse beim Publikum, was zu einem außerordentlichen Erfolg führte. Basierend auf Konzepten der kritischen Museologie, (Kunst-)Soziologie und qualitativen Medienforschung untersucht die Arbeit die Ursachen und kurz- sowie langfristigen Effekte des Ausstellungserfolgs. Durch die Erforschung der bisher wenig beachteten Sphäre der Kunstdistribution und informellen Bildung in Indonesien leistet die Arbeit einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Grundlagenforschung der Südostasienwissenschaften. Gleichzeitig adressiert sie verschiedene Desiderate in der Publikumsforschung und liefert Erkenntnisse für eine kritische Ausstellungspraxis auf internationaler Bühne. Unter der Berücksichtigung von vielfältigen Kontexten der Ausstellungsbesucher (Sozio-kulturell, physisch, persönlich) arbeitet die qualitative sowie quantitative Analyse die massgeblichen Erfolgsfaktoren der Ausstellung heraus. Die Besucherforschung zeigte, dass vor allem die urbane Mittelklasse die Ausstellung aufsuchte. Besucher_innen kamen in die Ausstellung mit Vorwissen zu Raden Saleh in Form von Legenden. Dieses Vorwissen verhandelten sie in der Ausstellung neu und passten es an ihre persönlichen Bedürfnisse an. Gleichzeitig generierte sich das Interesse aus bis dato fehlenden Ganzkörpererfahrungen mit historischen Zeitzeugnissen zu Raden Saleh. Der Ausstellungserfolg war nicht nur auf den richtigen Ort, sondern auf den gut gewählten Zeitpunkt zurückführen. Die stattfindenden Feierlichkeiten zu Raden Salehs Geburtstag im Rahmen einer Erinnerungspolitik und diverse stattfindende Diskurse der Kunstwelt fanden in der Ausstellung die richtige Plattform, um Narrative zu Kunst und Geschichte zu verhandeln. Die Analyse der Selektions- und Rezeptionspraktiken der Besuchwer_innen machten die wichtigsten Erfolgsfaktoren der Ausstellung deutlich: ihre Fähigkeit an die oben genannten Kontexte der Besucher_innen anzuknüpfen oder diese für sich zu nutzen. Die Arbeit schließt mit Ergebnissen aus der Aneignungs- und Wirkungsforschung und deren Bewertung ab. Diese zeigen deutlich, dass die Wahrnehmung von Raden Saleh heute maßgeblich durch die Ausstellung «Raden Saleh und der Beginn der modernen indonesischen Malerei» beeinflusst wurde und verdeutlicht damit die Bedeutung und Verantwortung der informellen Lernorte wie Ausstellungen – insbesondere in postkolonialen Kontexten. N2 - In the dissertation "Exhibitions and Their Success: Examining (Art) Narratives", a specific area of educational research is investigated, namely informal education in an international context. The study combines a comprehensive analysis of an exhibition and its audience, focusing on the perspective of the visitors. The empirical research centers on the art-historical exhibition "Raden Saleh and the Beginning of Modern Indonesian Painting," which took place in 2012 at the National Gallery of Jakarta. Organized as a cultural-political instrument by the Goethe-Institut Indonesia, the exhibition highlighted Raden Saleh, a significant historical figure in Indonesia. Notably, this was the first retrospective showcasing his original paintings in his homeland. The exhibition introduced new narratives, as well as innovative exhibition and educational concepts, which garnered substantial public interest, leading to its extraordinary success. Based on concepts from critical museology, (art) sociology, and qualitative media research, the dissertation examines the causes and both the short- and long-term effects of the exhibition's success. By exploring the hitherto under-researched sphere of art distribution and informal education in Indonesia, this work makes a significant contribution to foundational research in Southeast Asian studies. Simultaneously, it addresses various desiderata in audience research and provides insights for a critical exhibition practice on the international stage. Considering the diverse contexts of exhibition visitors (e.g. socio-cultural, physical, personal), the qualitative and quantitative analyses identify the key success factors of the exhibition. Visitor research indicated that the urban middle class predominantly attended the exhibition. Visitors approached the exhibition with pre-existing knowledge of Raden Saleh in the form of legends, which they reinterpreted and adapted to their personal needs. At the same time, their interest was generated by the previously unavailable holistic experiences with historical artifacts related to Raden Saleh. The success of the exhibition was attributed not only to the appropriate location but also to the well-chosen timing. The concurrent celebrations of Raden Saleh's birthday within the framework of commemorative politics and various ongoing art world discourses provided a suitable platform for negotiating narratives of art and history. The analysis of the selection and reception practices of the visitors highlighted the most critical success factors of the exhibition; for example, its ability to connect with or utilize the aforementioned contexts of the visitors. The dissertation concludes with findings from appropriation and impact research and their evaluation. These clearly demonstrate that the perception of Raden Saleh today has been significantly influenced by the exhibition "Raden Saleh and the Beginning of Modern Indonesian Painting", highlighting the importance and responsibility of informal learning sites like exhibitions – especially in postcolonial contexts.

Payung Keluarga automatically insures micro-borrowers who take out microcredits from microfinance institutions. In case of death, the outstanding credit balance is canceled and the beneficiary receives twice the original loan as additional payout. Payung Keluarga was conceived to ameliorate the assumed post-mortem financial crisis of low-asset families. Through qualitative-explorative field research from 2006 until 2008 I investigated if this developmental intention was realized. It is the first impact analysis on microinsurance in Indonesia. In the research process, I took the position of an observing participant. As operational project leader for Allianz in Indonesia I was virtually doing research on my own work. The resulting challenge to research neutrality is primarily mitigated by the sobering to discerning social impact which was eventually revealed. The majority of insured were married female Muslim petty traders in urban and semi-urban areas around Jakarta. Socio-economically these women stand at the upper end of the low-asset stratum. Their husbands were generally the main bread-winners of the family, and it was mostly them who received the insurance payouts. It could therefore be said that Payung Keluarga benefited the main breadwinner instead of insuring him. The study found that norms of a moral economy are still exerting significant clout on the insured. The moral economy aims at providing “subsistence insurance” for all community members through an intricate collective system of balanced exchanges. The corresponding “premium” is a denouncement of self-interested material asset accumulation. Next to structural reasons, it was this moral restriction that saw the businesses of the women stagnate at low and socially inconspicuous levels. Payung Keluarga did not help to overcome the assumed post-mortem financial crisis. In reality, such crisis did not exist since community and family support among low-asset Muslim Indonesians is normally strong enough to largely provide for the bereft family. This support is driven by the perception of death as a collective risk in the light of the moral economy and hinged on principles of balanced reciprocity. For cultural and religious reasons, the beneficiaries used most of the insurance payouts for funeral ceremonies and repayment of informal debt. With the advent of Payung Keluarga familial post-mortem assistance has been reduced. Funeral costs also seem to have been inflated by the product. It has thereby promoted a long-term societal shift from equality-seeking balanced reciprocity towards status-seeking and socially diversifying general reciprocity. In effect, Payung Keluarga has attacked cooperative social cohesion head-on where it is still strongest in a rapidly modernizing Indonesian society. This discerning and unintended impact of Payung Keluarga is hardly offset by a positive increase in financial literacy among the insured. Furthermore, the effect on “peace of mind” on the insured is ambivalent: while most insured stated to feel safer, some declared to feel less secure with their obligatory coverage for fear of interference with divine predetermination. Its overall developmental impact can be literally described as “micro”. Instead of protecting the status-quo of the family, Payung Keluarga has assumed the role of an actor of social change. Not only because it has changed the funeral pattern of the beneficiaries, but also because it promotes a far-reaching conceptual paradigm shift from balanced reciprocity, which forms a core pillar of the insured’s social structure, towards general reciprocity. The thesis hypothesizes that with sufficient insurance coverage provided, the insured will increasingly opt out of the coercively egalitarian “subsistence insurance” system. Such opt out will allow the insured to pursue a more aggressive economic asset accumulation strategy, particularly in combination with micro-credit. For the individual, this can be seen as a “liberating fortune” that would induce more women to grow their businesses to significant sizes. In parallel, it would deal a blow to cooperative social cohesion. I propose to call this the “double fortune / double blow” dilemma of microfinance. Although this thesis is exemplary, some of its findings can be generalized: The impact of microinsurance is highly dependent on cultural, religious and socio-demographic context. Any microinsurance intervention concerned with social impact should be preceded by a thick contextualization going beyond the usual demand assessments. In turn, microinsurance likewise impacts context as an actor of ambivalent social change. The complex influence of context and the role of microinsurance as an actor of social change have so far been hardly discussed in the development discourse.

In the first half of the 20th century there have been some people writing on their experience and their researches done in the area. Those sources are presented shortly. There are several foci in the presentation. A description of villages, of ritual dancing places which lie in the centre of most villages, as well as death rituals stand in the centre of the study, as far as they open the view on the ideas of supernatural power. That idea is discussed seperately in the last chapter. All in all the paper offers an overview on the area which is a great help when starting indepth research on Alor-Archipelago.
