Purpose: This study aims to apply Geographically Weighted Panel Regression (GWPR) to panel data analysis, specifically to examine the influence of geographical variables and local variability on sugarcane yields in East Java. GWPR integrates the principles of panel regression with geographically weighted regression (GWR) analysis to capture varying relationships across different locations, considering panel fixed effects in its model. In the context of Decision Sciences, this research develops an innovative method for more accurate decision-making in the agricultural sector, taking into account geographical variability often overlooked in traditional decision models.
Design/Methodology/Approach: The study adopts a weighted least squares approach, sensitive to outliers, for parameter estimation within the GWPR model. This paper addresses the limitations of conventional analysis models, which often neglect the importance of location variability in data-driven decision-making. This approach is then applied to a dataset of sugarcane yields from East Java to assess how it can manage variability and outliers in the data.
Findings: The analysis reveals that the size of plantation areas plays a crucial role in determining sugarcane yields, with significant variability detected across locations in East Java. The study identifies other factors contributing to sugarcane yield variations, such as soil conditions, climate, and farming practices. This paper's contributions include the application of the GWPR methodology in agriculture, providing new insights and enriching the literature on the impact of geographical and local factors on agricultural yields.
Practical Implications: These findings have significant implications for developing agricultural strategies in East Java, particularly in the context of land management and resource allocation.
Originality/Value: This study is original because it integrates GWR methods into panel data analysis, providing a new analytical framework to accommodate geographical variability in panel data.
