Abstract

Intra-industry trade between Indonesia and some neighbouring countries like the Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam can be characterised as an imperfectly competitive market and be driven by increasing returns to achieve economies of scale. This research investigates the dynamics of Indonesia's intra-industrial trade in the manufacturing industry with ASEAN-4 countries, namely the Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam, from 2005 to 2021. The independent variables used are the difference in Gross Domestic Product (GDP), real exchange rate, and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). We also estimate the Grubel-Lloyd Index and decompose the intra-industry trade either dominated by vertical or horizontal intra-industry trade. The data is then analysed by the panel data method. Our findings show that intra-industry trade taking place in the region has a strong level dominated by vertical intra-industry trade, resulting in goods traded of different quality. Next, the variable of difference in GDP has a significant negative effect on intra-industry trade, the variable of the real exchange rate has a significant positive impact, and FDI has a positive and not significant effect.

Abstract

Housing infrastructure is necessary to improve the quality of life of the community, yet a recent assessment of housing infrastructure development in Indonesia highlights a low level of performance. Therefore, actions are needed to stimulate it through pension funds, which remain minimally utilized for direct investment in the housing sector. This research investigates the potential and challenges of using pension funds for housing investment in Indonesia, employing Input Output (IO) Analysis with data from Statistics Indonesia (BPS). The findings reveal a significant gap between the potential and realized pension fund investments, indicating the substantial capacity of pension funds to be directed towards investment in the housing sector. Two strategies are recommended to address this. First, maximizing pension fund revenue, mainly among population groups underserved by pension funds, such as micro, small, and medium business owners and informal workers. Second, reorienting policies to enhance investment opportunities in the housing sector while overcoming future challenges.

Abstract

The agricultural sector is an important sector in supporting the increase of Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP), especially the food crops, livestock, and fisheries sub-sectors in Malang Regency. This study aims to identify the contribution of the food crops, livestock, and fisheries sub-sectors in Malang Regency to GRDP in Malang Regency. The research method used is descriptive quantitative with secondary data obtained from the Central Statistics Agency of Malang Regency. The results of the study show that the independent variables of food crops, livestock, and fisheries simultaneously have a significant effect on the dependent variable GRDP. The partial test results show that the food crops and livestock sub-sector variables have a positive and significant effect on the dependent variable. The fisheries variable has a positive and insignificant effect on the dependent variable. The results of the determination coefficient test of 0.878 indicate that 87.8% of the variation in GRDP can be explained by the food crops, livestock, and fisheries sub-sectors, while the rest is influenced by other factors. From the research that has been done, the researcher suggests that the government should optimise the production of food crops, livestock, and fisheries production, because these three sub-sectors are potential sub-sectors in the agricultural sector in Malang Regency.

Abstract

This paper studies how land ownership is gendered within rural Indonesian households and whether women’s land ownership is associated with household welfare, female labor participation, and food security. Using nationally representative SUSENAS 2018 household and individual modules, construct land ownership typologies that distinguish ownership by the male household head, the spouse, children, other members, and multiple‑owner arrangements. Weighted OLS models with province fixed effects and district‑clustered standard errors show that households where the spouse owns land exhibit higher per‑capita expenditure than otherwise similar landowning households. Logistic models indicate that female land ownership is positively associated with women’s labor participation but is not significantly linked to food insecurity, while male ownership is correlated with lower food insecurity. Interaction and split‑sample tests reveal no statistically meaningful heterogeneity between Java and non‑Java regions. The findings support the view that women’s property rights are linked to economic resilience and agency in rural Indonesia, even though some welfare measures based on non‑monetary living conditions respond differently. Policies that expand women’s land titles, secure joint ownership, and complement land programs with human‑capital and market access interventions are likely to yield broad welfare gains.

Abstract

Boonpring Andeman, located in Sanankerto Tourism Village, Malang Regency, holds significant potential as a sustainable tourism destination, featuring a bamboo forest, an arboretum with 115 bamboo species, and environmental education-based ecotourism. Despite receiving national and regional awards, the area still faces challenges related to accessibility, infrastructure, promotion, and community empowerment. This study aims to formulate sustainable tourism development strategies using a qualitative approach through SWOT analysis and the Business Model Canvas (BMC). Data were collected through interviews and observations, then analyzed descriptively. The findings indicate that development strategies focus on institutional strengthening, increasing community participation, and integrating conservation with educational values. The SWOT and BMC approaches successfully identified strategic priorities such as innovation in culturally-based tourism products, strengthening partnerships, and diversifying promotion to achieve a balance between economic, social, and ecological aspects.
