Abstract

This study aims to analyze the entrepreneur’s behavior to pay zakat and to formulate the role of zakat institutions such as the National Zakat Board (BAZNAS) and Amil Zakat Institution (LAZ) in improving total zakat collection. Total respondents in this research are 751 entrepreneurs across 28 provinces in Indonesia. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to know the entrepreneur’s behavior in paying zakat. Attitude toward moral reasoning, influence of religious leaders, peer influence, zakat knowledge, zakat system structure, enforcement of zakat law, and government support affect the interest of entrepreneurs to pay zakat. However, the attitude toward zakat evasion and transparency of zakat management does not affect the interest of entrepreneurs to pay zakat. The role of the government is getting a spotlight in this study because of its significance in formulating relevant policies to increase the interest of entrepreneurs to pay zakat. The establishment and supervision of zakat institutions as well as the issuance of supportive regulation is considered important in this study.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the determinants of unemployment rates in upper-middle-income Asian countries from 2000 to 2023. This study uses the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) method. The analysis results show that in the long run, economic growth, foreign direct investment, income openness, and government consumption expenditure have a significant negative effect on unemployment. Conversely, urban population growth has a significant positive effect on unemployment. Meanwhile, in the short run, only urban population growth can have a significant negative impact on unemployment. Meanwhile, the one-year lag coefficient of foreign investment is proven to be positive and significant on unemployment. These findings imply that poverty reduction is primarily determined by long-term structural policies that encourage economic growth, foreign direct investment, trade openness, and the effectiveness of government spending. The impact of urbanization on increasing poverty emphasizes the need for integrated urban planning with formal job creation. Meanwhile, the weak short-term effect reflects the delay in labor market adjustment that requires supporting policies during the transition phase.
