Abstract

The role of electricity towards the economy becomes crucial in many countries including in Malaysia. It becomes necessary to investigate whether electricity consumption contributes to economic growth in order to make appropriate energy policies. The purpose of this research is to examine the long run and causal relationships between electric power consumption and real GDP. This paper applies to the error-correction model. The results indicate that electricity consumption has a positive impact on economic growth. Besides that, there was unidirectional Granger causality running from electricity consumption to real GDP but not vice versa. This paper suggests that Malaysia is becoming an energy-dependent country. The government should emphasize on formulating energy strategies so as to avoid adverse effects on economic growth.JEL Classification: C39, D19, O40

The number of millennial Muslim generations is around 59.415 million, or 85 percent of the total number of millennials, making it a potential market. This paper contributes to the existing behavioral intention literature by focusing on the integration of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2), Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) theory, and Perceived Security (PS) theory towards sharia digital services.Research Objectives: This research examines the antecedents of behavioral intention to adopt sharia digital services in ZISWAF distribution among the millennial Muslim generation in Indonesia.Research Methods: This study used a quantitative approach with the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis method and involved 350 respondents in Indonesia. By adopting the theories of Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2), Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) theory, and Perceived Security (PS).Empirical Results: The study results show that performance expectancy, habit, price value, and compatibility have a positive and significant effect on behavioral intention to adopt sharia digital services in ZISWAF distribution. Furthermore, the price value variable is the strongest predictor of behavioral intention to adopt sharia digital services in ZISWAF distribution.Implications: This research has important meaning for the Indonesian government, ZISWAF institutions, and application providers because it provides valuable insight into considering accelerating ZISWAF distribution among the millennial Muslim generation.JEL Classification: Z12, L31How to Cite:Hariyanto., Ratnasari, R.
