Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of social media, influencers, and the fear of missing out (FOMO) phenomenon on cryptocurrency investment decisions. In the digital era, social media has become a key channel for information and communication, including in finance and investment. Influencers on platforms such as Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, TikTok, and Facebook often serve as sources of investment recommendations, particularly among Generation Z. At the same time, FOMO drives Generation Z to make investment decisions out of fear of being left behind by emerging trends. This research employs a quantitative method by distributing questionnaires to Generation Z respondents in Medan. The findings reveal that social media, influencers, and FOMO significantly affect investment decisions, with social media exerting the strongest influence in shaping quick and high-risk choices. Overall, the study shows that Generation Z’s cryptocurrency investment decisions are more emotionally driven—through social media, influencers, and FOMO—than based on rational information.

Abstract

  This study aims to examine the influence of the inflation rate, the US dollar exchange rate, and global oil prices on world gold prices. Using a quantitative approach with secondary time-series data, the analysis was carried out through multiple linear regression to identify both partial and simultaneous effects of the selected macroeconomic variables. The findings indicate that the inflation rate does not have a significant impact on gold prices. In contrast, the US dollar exchange rate shows a positive and significant relationship with gold prices, suggesting that fluctuations in the value of the dollar play an important role in shaping global gold market movements. Meanwhile, global oil prices are found to have no significant partial effect on gold prices. Furthermore, when examined simultaneously, the three macroeconomic variables do not exhibit a collective influence on world gold prices. These results highlight the dominant role of currency dynamics compared to inflationary conditions and oil price fluctuations in determining gold price behavior during the observed period.

Abstract

Studi ini menganalisa pengaruh risiko kredit, kredit bermasalah (NPL), dan dana pihak ketiga (DPK) terhadap profitabilitas Bank Mandiri Taspen KC Medan pada masa normal baru tahun 2020–2023. Dengan metode kuantitatif dan analisis regresi linier berganda, studi ini menggunakan data sekunder dari laporan keuangan bank. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dari ketiga variabel yang dikaji, hanya dana pihak ketiga yang berkontribusi signifikan positif terhadap profitabilitas yang diproyeksikan melalui Return on Asset (ROA). Temuan ini mengindikasikan bahwa peningkatan simpanan masyarakat dapat memperbesar kapasitas penyaluran kredit, yang pada akhirnya meningkatkan pendapatan bunga dan profitabilitas bank. Sebaliknya, risiko kredit dan NPL tidak menunjukkan pengaruh signifikan terhadap profitabilitas, kemungkinan karena manajemen risiko yang efektif dan kebijakan restrukturisasi kredit selama masa pemulihan pascapandemi. Hasil ini sejalan dengan penelitian sebelumnya yang menyoroti peran penting DPK dalam mendukung kinerja perbankan. Penelitian ini juga mengisi kesenjangan literatur dengan memfokuskan pada bank dengan segmen pasar khusus, yaitu pensiunan dan UMKM, yang sering kurang terwakili dalam studi perbankan. Temuan ini memberikan implikasi praktis bagi manajemen bank dalam merumuskan kebijakan strategis untuk menjaga stabilitas keuangan, meningkatkan mobilisasi dana, serta kontribusi akademik melalui bukti empiris periode transisi ekonomi

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh inflasi, suku bunga, indeks S&P 500, dan indeks dolar Amerika Serikat terhadap pergerakan harga emas dunia. Emas merupakan salah satu instrumen investasi yang dianggap sebagai aset lindung nilai (safe haven), terutama pada kondisi ketidakpastian ekonomi global. Oleh karena itu, pemahaman mengenai faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi harga emas menjadi penting bagi investor dan pengambil kebijakan. Jenis penelitian ini adalah kuantitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif dan asosiatif. Data yang digunakan merupakan data sekunder berupa data bulanan periode Januari hingga Desember 2024 yang diperoleh dari situs resmi seperti goldprice.org, tradingeconomics.com, dan yahoo. finance. Teknik analisis data menggunakan regresi linier berganda, yang didahului dengan uji asumsi klasik seperti uji normalitas, multikolinearitas, autokorelasi, dan heteroskedastisitas. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa keempat variabel independen, yaitu inflasi, suku bunga, indeks S&P 500, dan indeks dolar berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap harga emas dunia. Temuan ini mengindikasikan bahwa dalam kondisi ekonomi global yang dinamis, faktor-faktor tersebut dapat mendorong kenaikan harga emas karena perannya sebagai alat lindung nilai terhadap risiko pasar

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis bias psikologis, yang dipresentasikan melalui variabel Overconfidence, dan Herding, serta kapasitas kognitif berupa literasi keuangan terhadap pengambilan keputusan investasi saham. Mengingat dominasi investor muda di pasar modal Indonesia, pemahaman mengenai faktor-faktor yang mendasari perilaku investasi menjadi sangat krusial untuk menciptakan ekosistem investasi yang sehat. Pendekatan kuantitatif dan teknik analisis regresi linear berganda merupakan teknik pendekatan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Wujud dari data yang digunakan adalah melalui penyebaran kuesioner kepada 50 responden yang terdiri dari pegawai institusi keuangan di kota Medan dengan menggunakan teknik sampling jenuh. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa secara parsial, bias Overconfidence dan perilaku Herding tidak memiliki pengaruh signifikan terhadap keputusan investasi saham. Temuan ini mengindikasikan bahwa responden memiliki kemandirian analitis yang kuat dan tidak mudah terpengaruh oleh tren pasar maupun keyakikan diri yang berlebihan. Sebaliknya, Literasi Keuangan terbukti menjadi prediktor yang paling dominan dan berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kualitas keputusan investasi. Literasi keuangan berfungsi sebagai instrumen filtrasi yang mampu memitigasi dampak emosional dan memastikan keputusan investasi tetap berbasis pada data serta pertimbangan rasional. Secara simultan, integrasi anatara kontrol psikologis dan literasi keuangan mampu menjelaskan fluktuasi keputusan investasi dengan sangat baik.
