Abstract

Achieving sustainable environmental quality has become a critical global issue, necessitating the reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to mitigate environmental pollution. Hydropower energy has the potential to play a significant role in this effort by providing a clean, renewable energy source that can help reduce reliance on fossil fuels and decrease CO2 emissions. This study examines the dynamic impact of hydropower energy consumption, economic growth, capital, and labor on Indonesia's CO2 emissions from 1990 to 2020. Applying the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) method, the findings demonstrate that hydropower energy consumption has a negative effect on CO2 emissions in both the short and long term, indicating that increasing hydropower energy consumption leads to a reduction in CO2 emissions. Conversely, labor exhibits a positive influence on CO2 emissions in both the short and long term, suggesting that a rise in labor contributes to higher levels of CO2 emissions in Indonesia. Furthermore, the Granger causality analysis reveals a bidirectional relationship between CO2 emissions and hydropower energy consumption. The robustness of ARDL results is confirmed through additional tests using Fully-Modified Ordinary Least Squares (FMOLS), Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares (DOLS), and Canonical Cointegrating Regressions (CCR) methods. The findings underscore the importance of promoting sustainable hydropower energy for effective environmental management in Indonesia. Policymakers should prioritize investments in sustainable hydropower infrastructure, encourage the adoption of energy-efficient technologies, and develop a skilled workforce to mitigate the environmental impact of increased labor force participation.

Abstract

This community service program, conducted by Universitas Syiah Kuala (USK) in collaboration with Thaksin University (TSU), aimed to promote effective marketing strategies for university best local products to expand their presence in global markets. The program focused on the utilization of Aceh's patchouli oil, a product with substantial international demand, as an example of how local resources can be developed into competitive products for the global market. The methods used included dissemination sessions, interactive discussions, and demonstrations of products produced by the cooperative to both local farmers and academic partners in Thailand. The results indicated increased participant awareness of the potential of local products, with the Inovac ARC Cooperative playing a key role in the development and marketing of these products. The success of the program was attributed to the integration of product innovation, strategic marketing, and collaboration with international partners. Future programs should focus on strengthening international partnerships and exploring digital marketing strategies to enhance market access for local products. Decision-makers are encouraged to support cooperative initiatives that combine local expertise with global market standards.

Abstract

This study investigates the scholarly landscape of General Equilibrium (GE) model applications within the field of energy research through a bibliometric lens. Utilizing a dataset of 864 journal articles indexed in Scopus from 1974 to 2022, the research maps publication trends, identifies leading contributors, and uncovers prevailing thematic clusters within the field. The analysis employs VOSviewer to visualize co-authorship networks, as well as institutional and country-level productivity, source relevance, and keyword co-occurrence patterns. Results reveal that China, the United States, and Japan are the most prolific countries, while Energy Policy and Energy Economics emerge as the most influential journals. Among the authors, Masui T. stands out as the most productive, while Paganetti registers the highest number of citations, reflecting a significant scholarly impact over recent years. Keyword mapping highlights dominant research themes centered on "computable general equilibrium analysis," "computable general equilibrium model," and "emission control," reflecting the field’s alignment with climate-related energy policy evaluation. This bibliometric overview not only provides a structured understanding of intellectual developments in GE-energy research but also identifies underexplored areas that warrant further investigation—particularly the integration of GE models with renewable energy transitions in developing economies and the incorporation of behavioral and distributional dimensions within energy policy assessments. The study contributes to the advancement of interdisciplinary dialogue by informing future research directions and supporting evidence-based policymaking in the energy-climate nexus.

Abstract

This study investigates the determinants of poverty across Indonesian provinces with a particular focus on the role of social assistance expenditure. Using provincial panel data from 2015 to 2024, the analysis combines information on poverty headcount ratios with fiscal, economic, and political variables, namely social assistance per capita, gross regional domestic product (GRDP) per capita, unemployment rate, and election years. The study employs a fixed effects panel regression model, selected on the basis of specification tests, and incorporates one-year lagged values of social assistance and GRDP per capita to capture the delayed effects of fiscal and economic policies. The results reveal that social assistance has a negative but modest effect on poverty, indicating its limited yet relevant role in supporting vulnerable households. GRDP per capita emerges as the strongest determinant, confirming the importance of inclusive growth in driving poverty reduction, while unemployment significantly worsens poverty outcomes. In addition, poverty rates tend to fall in election years, reflecting the influence of political cycles on welfare spending. Overall, the findings underscore that poverty reduction in Indonesia requires multidimensional strategies that combine sustained economic growth, labor market improvements, and well-targeted social assistance, supported by institutional safeguards that ensure consistency beyond short-term political incentives.

Abstract

Objective: This study investigates the effect of intellectual, social, and natural capital on governance performance in middle income countries, addressing how non-financial resources shape institutional quality. The research is empirical and contributes to development economics by linking capital endowments with governance outcomes, which are central to sustainable development and institutional resilience. Methods: The study uses panel data from the Global Sustainable Competitiveness Index (GSCI) for 20 middle income countries during 2020–2024. Governance scores serve as the dependent variable, while intellectual, social, and natural capital are the main explanatory variables, analyzed through a fixed effects regression with robust standard errors. Findings: The results indicate that natural capital has a statistically significant and positive impact on governance performance, with a coefficient value of approximately 0.51, significant at the five percent level. This suggests that countries with stronger capacities to manage environmental resources tend to develop more accountable and resilient institutions. In contrast, intellectual and social capital do not show significant effects within the observed period, which may imply that their influence on governance is more indirect, requires longer time horizons to materialize, or depends on the presence of supportive institutional frameworks. Originality/Value: The novelty of this study lies in testing the reverse relationship between non-financial capital and governance and incorporating interaction models that reveal how these resources jointly shape institutional outcomes. Unlike most prior studies that focus on how governance drives capital formation, this research centers on middle-income countries and employs recent data from 2020–2024 to offer fresh empirical evidence on institutional determinants of governance. Practical/Policy implication: The findings suggest that governance reforms should integrate natural capital management within Sustainable Development Goal frameworks while enhancing institutional capacity in education and social cohesion to enable intellectual and social capital to more effectively strengthen governance in the long term.
