Abstract

The Gulf Cooperation Council countries are among the top 25 countries in terms of their contribution to increasing the level ofcarbon dioxide emissions more than the average world. Furthermore, these countries emit from 45% to 50% of the total emissions ofArab countries, because of the significant role of extractive sectors, as major sources of income in these economies. This studyexamines the most important factors pertaining to the increasing carbon dioxide emissions in GCC countries over the period 1998-2008.In this paper, the research objective is to determine how much the FDI inflows, economic growth, and commodity imports influenced theincreasing level of emissions during the period of study, and which variable has most effect? For this purpose, an empirical model will beestimated in order to obtain the impact of the said variables of the six member countries – United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia,Oman, Qatar, and Kuwait. The model of carbon dioxide emissions as a function of FDI inflows, per capita GDP growth rate, andcommodity imports will be examined simultaneously within the panel data technique using ordinary least squares OLS.

Abstract

The market potential of the halal cosmetics is currently very promising and the use of cosmetics among millennials is increasing. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to analyze the factors that impact millennial consumers' decisions to buy halal cosmetics. This study analyzes whether factors such as halal awareness, halal certification and religiosity are able to influence millennial consumers' decisions in buying halal cosmetics with purchase intention as a mediating variable. In this study, a quantitative method using survey research was applied. The method of sampling utilized in this investigation was incidental sampling, where the study sample was as many as 185 millennial consumers in Central Java province with the condition that they were millennials born between 1981 to 1996 and had bought halal cosmetic products. Data collection techniques use online questionnaires in the form of Google forms that are disseminated through social media, such as Instagram and Whatsapp. The data analysis method used is SEM-PLS by using SmartPLS 3.2.9 software. The results of this study found that the variables of halal awareness, halal certification and religiosity have a positive and significant influence on millennial consumers' decisions in buying halal cosmetics. Consumer purchase intent was able to mediate the relationship between variables of halal awareness, halal certification, religiosity and purchase decisions significantly. The findings of this research can be used as consideration for manufacturers or marketers of cosmetic products to pay attention to religious aspects in promoting their products. Those in the cosmetics industry who are trying to reach millennials might think about getting their products halal certified. Especially in the context of advertising. One marketing strategy that has shown success is labeling items as "halal certified."
