Abstract

Regression  is a model  that is usually used in many  field of study, include economics  and business, in a purpose to find causal relation of independent variable to dependent variable. It is described  the relation of one or more independent  variables  to one dependent  variable.  In many cases,  the regression with more than  two independent  variables  is estimated  by wrong formula or equation. The fallacy usually exist because statistical or econometrics tax book, which is used as reference, often show only the  regression  formula for maximum two independent variables. On  the other side,  it is not much explanation how the formula can be employed  to find  the coefficient  of regression. There are many cases that researchers  used  formula to calculate  coefficient  for two independent  variables  in calculation of more  than two  independent variables. This paper uses matrix analysis  to find  formula of regression  as well as calculate it by using matrix approach because  the development of formula of coefficient  in regression  can be explained  clearly by matrix approach.  The different  formula  and equation must be used in different number of independent  variable is concluded by this paper. All variables that used in the model are always calculated  in every formula of coefficient.

Abstract

There are so many products that can be offered by Islamic banking.  They must not be done with the ways or procedures that break the Islamic law  (Syaria) for example interest  (riba) which is always done in conventional  banking system.  The application of syaria in the banking operation makes the Islamic Bank different  than conventional one.  In this paper, the products and the transaction (akad)  in Islamic  banking will be described  in simple way. The example of products and akad in the real operating of Islamic Banking also is given to make the explanation more clearly. The Examples are come from Bank Syariah Mandiri Indonesia. It is hope that all simple description about product and akad in Islamic Banking make reader more familiar to the Islamic Banking.

Abstract

The growth of population need more water. Public water utilities(PAM) have to anticipate the new demand by increase the capacity. However, the rise of capacity and production are not the single way to solve increasing of demand. Combining the increasing of capacity and Non-revenue water (NRW) reduction is better than the single approach. Currently, most of the PAM has very high NRW. Many of them have NRW equivalent to the half of production. More family will be served if NRW reduction success. Furthermore, the income of PAM also will up and cost of production as well as cost of investment will down On the other hand, water resources will used efficiently. Increasing of capacity will be required if NRW reduction have been done maximally but still not sufficient for all demand.

Abstract

Penelitian  ini dilakukan  untuk mengetahui apakah Fisher effect berlaku di lndonesia. Menggunakan data inflasi dan suku bunga untuk periode 2006 sampai 2010, ditemukan bahwa  terdapat hubungan antara tingkat  inflasi dan suku bunga untuk periode  per tahun dan bukan periode per bulan. Dari hasil  ini diketahui bahwa harapan inflasi yang ditentukan pengalaman  inflasi beberapa periode  sebelumnya  menentukan pembentukan  suku bunga nominal. Selain  itu penelitian ini menemukan adanya  suku bunga riel yang negatif saat inflasi  tinggi. Hasil  ini menunjukkan  bahwa  inflasi yang  tinggi ternyata  tidak sepenuhnya diantisipasi  oleh pasar. Tidak ada hubungan antara  inflasi dan suku bunga periode  per bulan dan adanya suku bunga  negatif menuniukkan bahwa harapan inflasi, yang mempengaruhi bunga nominal, dibentuk  dari pengalaman inflasi yang panjang.

Abstract

Generally, percapita GDP in US Dollar is used to measure the everage welfare in a country. Forhermore, the level of welfare between countries can be compered using percapita GDP. However, the price differences among countries make the comparison is not accurate. GDP purchasing power parity (GDP-PPP) is created inspired on theory of purchasing power parity (PPP). The average income percapita between counties that same as percapita consumption of goods and services is more accurately measured using percapita GDP-PPP. The price of goods and services in percapita GDP-PPP are assessed using international prices.This study used data from 183 countries in period 2005-2010. The study found that the average income among countries in percapita GDP and percapita GDP-PPP are not different. The study also discovered the large inqualities of walfare between countries in the world. Nevertheless, the inequalities are relatively more meaninfull when the percapita GDP is used rather than percapita GDP-PPP is used. It is found, if using percapita GDP,  the average income per capita of low-income economies, middle-income economies, and some high-income economies are measured too low, on the other hand income percapita of some high-income economies are measured too high. As consequency, the percapita GDP-PPP for low-income economies are more than three times larger than percapita GDP. How many times the percapita GDP-PPP large than the percapita GDP are reduce when the income percapita of the countries go up. It also found, there are many countries that move to higher group of income when using percapita GDP-PPP. Key words: GDP, Purchasing power parity, welfare

Abstract

Deficit budget, public debt, as well as interest rate of advanced and emerging countries are compared in this study. The study employ data of 30 developed countries and 29 emerging countries in period 2006 to 2011. Data is obtained from IMF. The descriptive method is used dominantly in the study. The study finds that the advanced countries conduct more dominant fiscal policy than the emerging countries.  Furthermore, the ratio of public debt per GDP of developed countries also greater than the public debt of emerging countries. However, the percentage of interest payment in the government budget and in the GDP of emerging countries is higher than the developed countries. The situation existed because the interest rates that must be paid by emerging countries are greater than developed countries. If developed countries conduct public debt that requires same ratio of interest payment like emerging countries, the developed countries will have the public debt three times more than the debt of emerging countries. Based on the result, it can be concluded that emerging countries have weaker ability using public debt financing fiscal budget deficit than the advanced countries.

Abstract

This paper is a critical review of a research conducted by Arezki & Quintyn (2013) in the Finance & Development, IMF. Their research is important because it is a pioneer research linking educational attainment by the civil servants to the effectiveness of government that affects economic growth. The research found the quality of education of civil servant is associated with higher state governing capacity, resulting in better decision, and ultimately better development outcome. As a preliminary study, it provides new insights on the importance of improving the quality of civil servants. In the methodology, this study also presents more appropriate technique for measuring the quality of education. It used as weights a countrywide academic ranking from university where civil servants obtain their degree as proxy of quality of education. This technique is better than computing a weighted average of officials’ years of education. On the other side, the research also have weaknesses, especially in the data and the statistical methodology. The data comes from the IMF training applicants' CV and all of them work in central banks and ministries of economy and finance. Consequently, the data can not represent the entire civil servants in 178 countries studied. The following weakness is the use of correlation methods to see causality. This paper also shows that based on the data of civil servants in Indonesia, it is difficult to conclude these findings can be applied in Indonesia
