Abstract

This article explores the factors influencing happiness levels and compares them within the contexts of Western and Eastern cultures. It particularly examines the role of income in shaping happiness, with a focus on Western cultures, often associated with materialism, and Eastern cultures, frequently linked to spirituality. The analysis reveals four significant determinants of happiness: economic achievement, social support, health, and the freedom to make choices. While income, measured by per capita GDP growth, contributes to happiness, globally, freedom of choice and social support exert a more substantial influence. This holds true when comparing Europe and North America to Asia (excluding the Middle East) and when contrasting Western and Eastern cultures. The study underscores the significance of social and political factors in achieving happiness, emphasizing the need for prioritizing their development. Furthermore, it challenges the notion that Western cultures are solely materialistic and Eastern cultures entirely spiritual, highlighting the intricacies of cultural differences. In sum, these findings emphasize the need for more comprehensive and diverse research to understand variations within specific cultural and ethnic contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to determine what factors influence regional economic growth. The analysis technique used is to combine time series data and cross-section (pooling data). Time-series data from 2015 - 2017 and cross section data consisting of 34 provinces in Indonesia. The results of the model test using the redundant fixed effect test and random effect-Hausman test show that the best model is the fixed effect model (FEM). Regression results show that only the HDI (Human Development Index) variable is not significant, the other variables (fiscal decentralization, capital, and labor) have a significant positive effect on regional economic growth.

Abstract

AbstractThe use of a theory-driven perspective is very common, especially in economics research, and even becomes an inevitable approach. Problems arise when data, as a form of reality, does not synergize with theory. The resulting conclusion is very likely to be different from the theoretical statement. One method that refers to data-driven is the Vector Auto-Regressive (VAR) model, which puts all the variables involved in a position as endogenous variables. This study seeks to identify a statistically more accurate relationship in the relationship between variables, stock prices, consumer price index, Jakarta Inter-Bank Over rate, exchange rate, and Net Balance Trade. Observations were made from January 2016 to December 2020. This study found evidence that there is a recursive relationship between stock price variables and macroeconomic variables. The VAR model identifies the Net Balance Trade variable as an endogenous variable in 3 types of sectoral stocks and only manufacturing sector stocks that resemble it. These results have two theoretical consequences: first, setting stock prices without differentiating sectors carries the risk of generalization errors. Second, setting stock prices as the endogenous variable means assuming that the market is perfect, and efficient and market participants have rational behavior.

Jumlah  data cross-section adalah 14 negara di Asia Pasifik dan data time-series adalah sembilan tahun. Dari hasil uji redundant fixed effect test dan correlated random effects-Hausman test serta pertimbangan teknis didapatkan model terbaik adalah fixed effect model. Berdasar hasil regresi, korupsi memilki signifikansi yang positif terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi 12 negara di Asia Pasifik. Artinya, korupsi (Corruption Perception Index/CPI) bukan menjadi grease of wheel atau pelicin roda perekonomian negara-negara tersebut. Sedangkan variabel lain yang positif signifikan terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi adalah foreign direct investment dan pengeluaran pemerintah untuk kesehatan.

Abstract

This study aims to gain a deeper understanding of the relationship between brand reputation and perceived product quality with consumer decision-making behavior in purchasing Honda motorcycles, particularly in the operational area of PT Astra Motor Central Java. The strategy used is quantitative, with a survey method as the data collection instrument. Respondents were selected purposively, namely individuals who empirically have experience purchasing Honda motorcycles. Data collected through questionnaires were then analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results of the analysis indicate that brand reputation and perceived product quality have a positive influence on consumer decision-making behavior in purchasing. This study confirms that brand symbolism in the minds of consumers and perceptions of product quality are factors that strengthen individual tendencies to make purchases. Thus, companies are advised to consistently build and maintain a positive brand reputation and maintain product quality, not only as an economic strategy, but also as an effort to form and maintain relationships with consumers that have implications for long-term loyalty. Keywords: Brand Image; Product Quality; Purchase Decision

Abstract

This study investigate how omnichannel integration quality comprised of channel consistency, channel transparency and channel connectivity shape the online customer experience and its subsequent influence the willingness to stay in digital banking. Drawing upon the Stimulus – Organism – Response framework, the research also examined whether the generational cohorts moderate these relationship. A quantitative method with purposive sampling is employed, involving 90 valid response from Indonesian digital banking users, belonging to Generation Y and Z. Structural equation modelling using Smart PLS is applied to assess. The findings reveal that channel connectivity does not exert a meaningful effect. Furthermore, online customer experience strongly predicts the customers’ willingness to stay. These result suggest that consistency and transparency remain critical lever for optimizing digital experiences, while connectivity has become baseline expectation rather than a differentiating factor. This research extends the online customer experience and omnichannel literature by highlighting generational convergence in digital expectation. Practically it advises banks to prioritize the seamless, transparent and consistent service delivery to strengthen customer retention.
