Abstract
This study aims to examine how market mechanisms and government performance affect the public economy in the city of Palu. In the context of the public economy, the interaction between market forces and government policy is an important factor in determining the efficiency of resource allocation and public welfare. Changes in fiscal policy, market regulation, and the dynamics of public goods prices require a balance between the role of the market and government intervention. This study uses a quantitative design with a Likert scale questionnaire as a data collection instrument, which was distributed to respondents involved in the public economy sector. The research variables consist of Market Mechanisms (X₁-), Government Performance (X₂-), and Public Economy (Y). Respondents were selected using purposive sampling techniques, with a focus on the Office of Trade and Industry . Data analysis was performed using multiple regression analysis to test the direct and simultaneous effects of independent variables on dependent variables.
