Abstract

Planning a wedding's finances is one aspect of the process. Before marriage, most couples were made up of two people with fairly autonomous financial arrangements; but, after a year, some began to adopt a more communal structure. In order to help you become more financially literate and more equipped for marriage, this article will outline community service opportunities. by putting into practice a community service plan at the Multazam Study Club utilizing the ABCD (Asset Based Community Development) approach, which is asset-based and sustainable community development. According to the service article's conclusion, students who perform community service in pre-marital schools gain more money management expertise. Following their attendance at lectures and chat shows on WhatsApp, the participants were able to comprehend the need of financial literacy. Based on the completed financial management course, a large number of individuals are aware of investments, emergency money, zakat, infaq, sadaqah, and waqf. In the meanwhile, participants tended to select their own investments; the majority of them selected gold. Putting together community service projects to enhance financial literacy within the framework of marriage has been successful in raising participants' comprehension and decision-making skills. The long-term financial well-being of people and families may be influenced by ongoing initiatives to advance financial empowerment and education in society.

Abstract

The necessity for financial management skills among migrant workers was underscored by the prevalence of a family member engaging in overseas employment within Indonesian households. This was evident in the imperative role finance played in encouraging migrant employees to maximize their earnings beyond what they could achieve in Indonesia. In this study, the ABCD (asset-based community development) strategy was employed to empower the Japanese IPMI community, utilizing existing community assets for sustainable development. The Indonesian Muslim Nurses Association, a supportive network, facilitated mutual growth and the establishment of ukhuwah Islamiyyah, contributing to a robust community fabric. IPMI served as a pivotal venue for enhancing the community's financial literacy through various levels of community service. Before returning to Indonesia, migrant workers took proactive steps in financial planning, including saving for retirement and other financial goals. Migrant employees, upon joining IPMI, actively recorded costs, tracked income, and projected investments for pension funds through direct practice. This past-tense abstract emphasizes the crucial role of financial empowerment and community support in the journey of migrant workers. The result shows after this community service, many migrant workers aware about financial management and gained a deeper understanding of financial management principles, enabling them to make informed decisions regarding budgeting, saving, and investing.

Abstract

We investigate the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI), particularly through multinational companies (MNCs), on the export behaviour and intensity of local firms. Focusing on the food and beverage subsectors in Indonesia from 2008–2015, we use the Heckman Selection model.We found a significant positive effect of FDI on the decision to export and the level of export intensity among domestic firms. The presence of MNCs in Indonesia appears to encourage local firms to both initiate and increase their export. Moreover, we observe a trend of export persistence, suggesting that firms active in exporting in one year are more likely to continue doing so in the following year. Other variables such as wages, import penetration, firm size, productivity, capital, and the presence of foreign firms were also included, with some influencing the decision to export more than the export intensity. Our findings provide some policy implications, namely for Indonesia’s “Making Indonesia 4.0” strategy in the food and beverages sectors, emphasizing the need for government support and human capital development to maximize the benefits of these spillovers.

Abstract

The impact of research and development (R&D) spending has been shown significantly in promoting country’s economic growth and productivity. Hence, we examine the research question by employing Indonesian manufacturing firm-level dataset in the years of 2017–2019 and by using Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) to reveal whether heterogeneous firm’s R&D spending contributes to the efficiency performance of the company. The finding reveals the robust positive effect of R&D spending to the efficiency performance, which implies that firms allocating more R&D spending will perform better efficiency due to, for example, managerial expertise improvements. An interesting finding is shown by the interaction model for which larger R&D allocated by foreign firm will boost better efficiency than that allocated by domestic firms, supporting prior arguments that foreign firm can be the driver of innovation as they are more likely to be closer to the world technology frontier. Several policy implications are suggested such as in-house R&D program to encourage human capital development and tax incentive to avoid market rivalry with foreign firms.

Abstract

We aim to determine whether components of aggregate demand contribute to regional inflation reaching the threshold level. By using regional-level datasets of Indonesian cities from 2010 to 2023 with Logit and Tobit estimates, we reveal that the pandemic conditions influence the behaviour of aggregate demand components in achieving the inflation targeting level in cities. We show that household spending during the pandemic (in 2020 and afterwards) stimulates cities to reach the inflation targeting level. Likewise, gross fixed capital formation (GFCF) and government spending also increase the probability of the cities reaching inflation targets during the pandemic periods. However, there is no significant effect of exports during the pandemic in helping cities reach the inflation threshold. This finding is corroborated by the estimation of inflation gap reduction, where only household consumption, GFCF, and government spending contribute to the reduction of cities’ inflation gap towards the national targeting level. Our finding delivers policy implications, notably on how each city can achieve the national inflation targeting level.

Abstract

This study investigates the determinants of the Indonesian textile and textile product (TPT) industry's technical efficiency. Employing the rich, balanced panel data of 3,365 firms over 2007-2013 with a non-parametric approach to the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) Bootstrapping and Tobit regression, this study discovers that the production operations are inefficient, especially the companies upstream. The improvement of technical efficiency is driven by firm size, market concentration, foreign ownership, and exports. An intriguing finding is that the capital-labour ratio negatively impacts efficiency, implying higher capital for production will make the production even more inefficient. The machines in most TPT firms are old, so larger capital may not help. This study recommends the government design policies that support the machinery restructuration so that capital can support production efficiency.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the performance of technical efficiency convergence (Beta and Sigma convergences) of 10 ASEAN economies as well as other three main partners from East Asia, namely China, South Korea, and Japan for the years of 1990-2021, and addresses the determinants of this convergence consisting of foreign direct investment (FDI), export, and import. By using Stochastic Frontier Analysis to estimate technical efficiency as well as panel dynamic of Generalized Methods of Moment (GMM) to test convergence, we found robust findings of convergence moments, both the catching up effect (Beta Convergence) as well as inequality reduction (Sigma Convergence) across the countries. The effect of FDI inflow to the growth of technical efficiency growth is positive. Coupled to this, a higher ratio of export to the GDP affects positively to the efficiency growth by about 14%-26%. In contrast, importing causes diminishing efficiency growth. The effect of FDI is significant in reducing the inequalities of efficiency only in the period of 2006-2021. While export reveals positive significance in affecting efficiency gap, import discourages efficiency gap to enlarge, indicating that import substitution remains unable to be implemented in some countries to obtain efficiency.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the level of efficiency of the industry in Indonesia, build synergy concept of industrial and institutional-based Micro, Small, Medium Enterprises (MSME) in Indonesia and analyze the effect of synergy transmission industry and MSME to Public Private Partnership to improve infrastructure development in Indonesia. The method used to answer the purpose of this research is the method of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and descriptive study. Referring to the Cobb-Douglas models, input variables used are the capital and the capital, while the variable output that is used is the output of 24 types of industry. The result indicates that the industry condition in Indonesia is slowing down. Deceleration parameters can be seen from the industry's contribution to GDP has decreased. In addition, the increase in PPP due to the increase in industrial efficiency will increase state revenues for infrastructure development in Indonesia
