This research is a descriptive and quantitative research. The data used in this study are secondary data in the form of times series data, namely Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP), population, Foreign Investment (PMA) and Domestic Investment (PMDN) from Central Agency Statistics (BPS) of Banjarnegara Regency. The descriptive analysis technique is the Williamson Index inequality, while quantitative analysis is used to use panel data regression analysis of the Fixed Effect model. The results show the Williamson Index in 2002-2020 in Banjarnegara Regency that in 2013 it had a value of 0.580 (the highest than other years).
