Abstract

More specifically, this paperĀ  also attends to investigate the existence of a long-run relationship between them. This study perform a multivariate cointegration test with political stability as a control variable and cross-check this long-run relationship with an autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model approach to cointegration. This study also use the Granger causality test within a vector error correction model (VECM) framework and estimate three different models using a non-linear specification: Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) estimation, Fully Modified OLS (FM-OLS) and Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares (DOLS). The results show cointegration among the variables specified in the model when political stability is taken into account. Indeed, for economic growth and democracy to move together in the long run, they need to be associated with political stability. The tests for Granger causality conducted show a long-run causality running from GDP and political stability to democracy. In other word, the economic growth and political stability Granger cause democracy. It is the economic performance that influences democracy and not the reverse. In short-run, there is neutrality causation between democracy and growth, democracy and political stability, growth and political stability. These results suggest that economic growth through strong institutions is a precondition for democratization.

The data obtained were cross-checked and triangulated so that their validity was well maintained. Furthermore, the data is processed by grouping it according to the formulation of the research problem. While the analysis is carried out through logical thinking by looking for the relationship between data and information in order to obtain the effectiveness and efficiency of the object of research. The results of the study indicate that the management of the Employee PFK fund by the Ministry of Finance is carried out effectively and efficiently according to the size of the current legislation. All employee PFK funds can be distributed in their entirety to the beneficiary parties.

This study aims to determine the effect of learning motivation, learning facilities, and learning materials on students' understanding and attitudes through online learning. The research method used is quantitative with data processing using structural equation modeling (SEM). The results showed that the independent variables in the form of motivation, learning facilities, and learning materials had an influence on the understanding variable with different levels. Motivation has a positive and significant effect on the emergence of understanding. Likewise, the learning material variable has a positive and significant effect on the understanding of the learner participants. Meanwhile, learning facilities do not have a significant effect on understanding. In the next stage, the understanding variable has a positive and significant influence on the formation of participants' attitudes. This is in accordance with the expected goal in the activities of the Ministry of Finance for One State, the emergence of a generation that has great concern for state finances in the future. Among the three independent variables studied, the learning material variable has the greatest influence on the formation of a good understanding and the emergence of a positive attitude towards state finances. This variable is able to give the greatest influence on the participants' understanding until it finally has an impact on their positive attitude towards state finances. This also shows that the learning materials provided in the activities of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Indonesia are appropriate, according to the needs of the participants so that they have the greatest influence on the understanding and formation of participants' attitudes.

Abstract

Citizenship is a legal status connecting individuals to a country, encompassing rights, obligations, identity, and protection. This study evaluates the impact of citizenship status on economic access and socio-economic inequality in Indonesia, focusing on disparities in well-being and economic opportunities. The research employs a normative legal method with approaches including legislation, case studies, conceptual, historical, and comparative analyses. The results show that citizenship inequality creates significant gaps in income, quality of life, and access to services. Individuals with full citizenship have better access to jobs and education compared to those with limited citizenship or no citizenship. This study recommends more inclusive policy reforms to reduce inequality and improve access for individuals with limited citizenship. The findings aim to assist academics and policymakers in designing strategies to enhance community well-being.
