Abstract

This study investigates whether and how entrepreneurship education (EE) shapes university students’ entrepreneurial intention (EI) in Makassar, Indonesia, focusing on the roles of financial literacy (FL) and entrepreneurial literacy (EL). We conducted a cross-sectional survey of students who had taken entrepreneurship-related courses. Regression-based path analysis was used to estimate direct effects from EE to EI and to test capability-building links from EE to FL and EL. We examined both indirect (mediation) effects via FL and EL using bootstrapped estimates and the conditional (moderation) influence of FL and EL on the EE→EI relationship. EE exerts a positive and significant direct effect on EI (β = 0.276, p < .001). EE also predicts higher levels of FL and EL, and each literacy is positively associated with EI. Indirect-effect tests indicate partial mediation: EE increases EI in part because it builds FL and EL, which subsequently elevate intention. In addition, higher levels of FL and EL strengthen the EE→EI link, consistent with a conditional (moderation) role for these literacies. EE is most impactful when it is competence-rich. Embedding structured financial planning, market validation, and venture design practices into EE—paired with authentic assessments (e.g., pro formas, MVPs, incubator sprints)—should yield larger gains in EI than theory-only formats. By jointly modeling capability-building (mediation) and capability-amplifying (moderation) roles of FL and EL, this study clarifies how and when EE translates into stronger entrepreneurial intention in an emerging-market higher-education context.

Abstract

This study investigates whether democracy and investment promote regional economic performance in Indonesia. It employs panel data for 34 provinces over the period 2021–2023, modelling real GRDP per capita as a function of provincial democracy, investment, central government transfers per capita, and population. The empirical analysis is conducted using EViews 13, comparing pooled OLS, random effects, and fixed effects specifications; Chow, Breusch–Pagan LM, and Hausman tests consistently indicate that the fixed effects model is the most appropriate. The estimation results show that provincial democracy, as measured by the Indonesian Democracy Index, does not exert a statistically significant direct effect on regional economic performance within the short observation window. By contrast, investment displays a positive and robust association with real GRDP per capita across specifications, confirming its role as the main proximate driver of regional growth. Central government transfers per capita and population do not exhibit a stable growth-enhancing effect and, in some cases, are weakly or negatively associated with regional output. The findings of this study indicate that, in the short run, investment is the key channel through which regional economies respond to institutional and fiscal environments, while democracy operates more as a deep institutional background whose economic impokact is not immediately visible in annual growth outcomes.
