Abstract

Poverty is still a major problem in Indonesia as reflected in the SDG's. This study aims to see how growth in Indonesia can reduce poverty. This study has a novelty in the research method that raises the issue of endogenous variables in the study. This study can have an impact on increasing valuable insights into the role of growth in decision-making, especially in cases of poverty. This study uses growth data as an independent variable, dependent variables consisting of poverty rates (P0), poverty depth rates (P1), poverty severity index, and other control variables that focus on data from all provinces in Indonesia from 2017-2023, utilizing quantitative analysis methods through the 2SLS (Two Stage Least Square) approach to overcome the issue of variable endogeneity. The results of the study explain that growth has a negative effect both by using the population index (P0), the Poverty Gap Index (P1), and the Poverty Severity Index (P2). so that this study is expected to be able to provide information to the government and policy makers to be able to focus on strategies that encourage regional economic growth.

Abstract

Research Originality: Despite numerous studies conducted on similar topics, this study uniquely examines the short- and long-run dynamics of the interest rate, exchange rate, and stock prices in China under two distinct epochs: pre- and Covid-19 periods. Research Objectives: This study compares the impact of interest and exchange rates on the Chinese stock market during the COVID-19 and pre-COVID-19 periods. Furthermore, the study also investigated the speed of adjustment towards equilibrium following short-run shocks in the stock market. Research Method: This study employs monthly data on the Chinese stock market and the autoregressive distributed lag model-error correction model (ARDL-ECM) approach on a separate period. Empirical Results: On COVID-19, the interest rate and exchange rate are not jointly and individually cointegrated significantly in explaining the stock prices. Nevertheless, the short-run relationship is identified as significant for both variables. Meanwhile, during COVID-19, the variables are jointly significant, with the exchange rate also identified to explain the stock market movement in the long run individually. In the short run, despite the greater impact of the exchange rate, the interest rates have a hysteretic impact. Implications: The findings suggested that policymakers should leverage the exchange rate instrument as a better predictive tool in devising effective future policy-making.

Abstract

This study aims to determine whether there is a significant difference in the financial performance of public banking companies in Indonesia before and after mergers and acquisitions (M&A). The main focus of the study is to measure the effectiveness of M&A in improving financial performance through certain financial ratios. This study uses a quantitative approach with a comparative design. The sample consists of six public banking companies that conducted M&A during the period 1994–2022, selected through purposive sampling. Data were obtained from published financial reports. The variables analyzed included liquidity ratios (current ratio and quick ratio) and profitability ratios (return on equity and net profit margin). Data analysis techniques used the Paired Sample t-Test and the Wilcoxon Test to examine differences in financial performance two years before and two years after M&A. The results show no significant differences in the Current Ratio, Quick Ratio, Return on Equity, and Net Profit Margin before and after mergers and acquisitions. This indicates that M&A activities have not had a tangible impact on improving short-term financial performance. This study provides practical contributions for company management and investors in evaluating the effectiveness of M&A strategies. These findings can also serve as a basis for further research to expand the scope of variables and observation periods.

Abstract

Purpose: This study investigates the role of the demographic bonus in shaping economic growth and labor market outcomes in North Kalimantan Province. Specifically, it examines its effects on GRDP, labor force participation rate (LFPR), and open unemployment rate (OUR), while contributing to the limited empirical evidence at the sub-provincial level and offering implications for evidence-based regional policy. Research Design and Methodology: This study employs a quantitative descriptive approach using secondary data from the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) for the period 2018–2023. The unit of analysis covers regencies and cities in North Kalimantan Province. The study examines one independent variable (demographic bonus) and three dependent variables: gross regional domestic product (GRDP), labor force participation rate (LFPR), and open unemployment rate (OUR). Data analysis techniques include descriptive analysis, sign test, and panel data regression using the Common Effect Model (CEM), Fixed Effect Model (FEM), and Random Effect Model (REM). The best model is selected through Chow, Hausman, and Lagrange Multiplier tests. Classical assumption tests are also conducted to ensure the validity of the model.   Findings and Discussion: The results show that the demographic bonus has a significant effect on gross regional domestic product (GRDP), the labor force participation rate (LFPR), and the open unemployment rate (OUR). Implications: This research indicates the need for government policy strategies in utilizing the demographic bonus to improve the quality of human resources and develop work programs that can absorb labour optimally.
