Abstract

This study utilizes bibliometric analysis to explore the evolving discourse surrounding income inequality in the digital economy, identifying key thematic shifts and central scholarly contributions from 2000 to 2024. By employing VOSviewer to map keywords and author networks, the research reveals a significant transition in academic focus—from traditional aspects of economic disparity to more complex issues such as digital inequality and globalization. The findings underscore the increasing concern over how digital advancements intersect with and potentially exacerbate socioeconomic inequalities. A detailed examination of author collaborations suggests a robust, albeit evolving, network of scholarship that highlights the need for more interdisciplinary approaches and integration of emerging researchers into mainstream discourse. This study not only provides a comprehensive overview of the academic landscape but also offers insights into the practical implications for policy aimed at mitigating inequality in the digital age.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of irrigation systems, pesticide use, and human resource management (HRM) on the productivity growth of oil palm plantations in Indonesia. Utilizing a quantitative approach, data were collected from 120 respondents, representing various plantations, using a Likert scale (1–5). Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS version 26 to assess the relationships between the independent variables (irrigation systems, pesticide use, and HRM) and the dependent variable (productivity growth). The findings reveal that efficient irrigation practices, responsible pesticide use, and effective HRM significantly contribute to productivity growth. Among these, HRM was found to be the most influential factor. These results highlight the need for plantation managers to prioritize resource management and workforce development to achieve sustainable productivity gains. The study provides valuable insights for enhancing oil palm productivity and promotes the adoption of sustainable practices in Indonesia’s palm oil industry.

Abstract

This study explores the transformation of traditional waqf into productive waqf and its role in enhancing cost efficiency for health infrastructure development in Bogor Regency. Using a qualitative approach, the study draws on data from four key informants and document analysis, with findings analyzed through NVivo software.

Despite its potential, challenges such as regulatory constraints, limited management capacity, and cultural perceptions of waqf hinder its full implementation. The study emphasizes the need for regulatory reforms, capacity-building initiatives, and community engagement to optimize the use of productive waqf in public infrastructure. These findings provide valuable insights for policymakers, waqf institutions, and healthcare planners in leveraging Islamic financial instruments for sustainable development.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of Environmental Credit Innovation, Government Regulation, and Green Microfinance on the productivity of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Using data from 140 MSMEs, the research employs Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS 3) to analyze the relationships between these factors. The results show that all three variables—Environmental Credit Innovation, Government Regulation, and Green Microfinance—positively influence MSME productivity. Specifically, Environmental Credit Innovation, Government Regulation, and Green Microfinance significantly contribute to improving MSME performance. The model explains 71.3% of the variance in MSME productivity, indicating substantial explanatory power. Additionally, the predictive relevance of the model highlights its practical utility for policy recommendations. The findings suggest that fostering environmentally responsible practices, simplifying regulatory processes, and expanding access to green finance are key drivers for boosting MSME productivity in the region.
