To address this gap, this study applies multiple linear regression to secondary time-series data obtained from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS). The results indicate that the independent variables jointly exert a statistically significant influence on GRDP; however, only investment demonstrates a positive and significant individual effect, whereas labor, inflation, and HDI are statistically insignificant. These findings underscore the dominant role of investment in regional economic growth and suggest that improvements in labor and human
