Abstract

This study examines the interplay among the ASEAN region’s financial development, informal economy, and sustainable development. While financial development is expected to support economic growth, its relationship to sustainability remains ambiguous, particularly in economies with significant informal sectors. Using a panel dataset from 1991 to 2020 across 10 ASEAN countries, the study employs robust econometric techniques, including fixed effects, feasible general least squares methodology, and quantile regression, to assess the direct and indirect effects of financial development and informality on sustainability. Findings reveal that the informal economy positively contributes to sustainable development, likely by providing employment and economic opportunities. However, financial development, measured by a broad money supply and private sector credit, has a negative impact, suggesting that financial resources are not effectively allocated to sustainability-driven sectors. The interaction between financial development and informality further exacerbates sustainability challenges, indicating a misalignment between formal financial mechanisms and informal economic activities. These results highlight the need for policy strategies integrating informal sector dynamics into financial systems, ensuring financial growth translates into broader sustainable development outcomes. Strengthening financial inclusion and directing capital to sustainability-focused initiatives could help bridge the gap between formal finance and the informal economy in ASEAN nations.

Abstract

This study investigates brand image as an economic asset by analyzing its mediating role in the relationship between online customer reviews, customer experience, and product quality on consumers’ repurchase intentions for the Karung Jantan clothing brand. Recognizing that a strong brand image can enhance customer loyalty, reduce marketing costs, and increase long-term revenue, this research adopts a quantitative approach and analyzes data using the Partial Least Squares (PLS) method with SmartPLS 4.0. The results reveal that brand image does not significantly mediate the effects of online customer reviews and customer experience on repurchase intention. However, brand image significantly mediates the relationship between product quality and repurchase intention, reinforcing its role as an intangible economic asset. Moreover, online customer reviews, customer experience, and product quality all have a positive and significant direct influence on both brand image and repurchase intention. These findings underscore the economic value of investing in brand image and product quality to drive repeat purchases and ensure sustainable business growth.

Abstract

This study examines how the Sharia Supervisory Board (SSB) moderates the effects of Board of Directors (BOD) characteristics on real earnings management (REM) of Islamic banks. Using unbalanced data encompassing 45 Islamic banks across 15 countries from 2012 to 2023, it documents a negatively significant influence of board size, independence, and expertise on REM. The influence of board's diligence, however, is absent. The study further notes that the SSB index moderates the effect of BOD attributes on REM in Islamic banks. The findings hold important implications for policymakers and regulators in shaping regulations on SSB and BOD oversight functions to curb REM practices. The study also contributes to the literature by offering further empirical evidence on the relationship between corporate governance and REM in Islamic banks.

Abstract

The increasing popularity of Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) as a health supplement has created opportunities for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in the health product market. However, issues such as exaggerated health claims, inconsistent product quality, lack of regulatory certifications, and insufficient consumer education have contributed to declining trust among digital consumers. This study explores how digital transformation can enhance consumer trust in ACV products through a qualitative approach involving in-depth interviews with ACV producers and digital content analysis. The findings reveal that many producers lack standardization in quality control, face challenges in obtaining legal certification (BPOM, halal), and underutilize digital platforms for health education. As a solution, the study proposes a strategic framework based on a digitally adapted Business Model Canvas, which integrates transparent product labeling, educational digital content, and trust signals such as verified reviews and interactive consumer engagement. This digital strategy not only strengthens brand credibility but also addresses health risks associated with improper ACV use, promoting safer and more informed consumption. The research contributes to the literature on digital business strategies for functional health products and provides a practical roadmap for MSMEs to build consumer trust through quality, legality, and education.

Abstract

Indonesia’s technology industry is experiencing strong growth prospects, supported by solid fundamentals and the rapid expansion of fintech infrastructure. The digital economy’s Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14% during 2024–2030, driven by continuous innovation in e-commerce, increasing digital adoption through QRIS, and the strengthening of technology-based financial ecosystems. This study aims to examine the effect of capital structure, liquidity, and firm size on financial performance and firm value in the technology sector. The research employs secondary data collected through a purposive sampling technique, resulting in a sample of 15 companies. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and structural equation modeling (SEM) with SmartPLS. The results indicate that (1) capital structure, liquidity, and firm size have a negative and insignificant effect on financial performance, and (2) capital structure, liquidity, firm size, and financial performance have a positive but insignificant effect on firm value. These findings suggest that internal financial characteristics have not yet demonstrated a statistically significant role in determining financial performance and firm value within Indonesia’s technology sector.
