Abstract

This research is motivated by the low purchasing power of the community in Pidie Jaya Regency, which is suspected to be influenced by high unemployment rates and income fluctuations. The aim of this study is to analyze the effect of unemployment and income levels on purchasing power during the period 1994–2023. The method used is a quantitative approach with multiple linear regression analysis, utilizing secondary data obtained from the Central Bureau of Statistics and related institutions. The results indicate that the unemployment rate variable (X₁) has a negative and significant effect on purchasing power (Y), while the income variable (X₂) has a positive and significant effect. These findings suggest that higher unemployment rates tend to reduce purchasing power, whereas increased income can enhance it. This highlights the need for local government policies to focus on job creation and income improvement to strengthen purchasing power and promote economic welfare in Pidie Jaya. The study is expected to serve as a reference for formulating more effective and sustainable regional economic development strategies.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of oil prices and gold prices on the Indonesia Composite Index (ICI) with inflation as an intervening variable in Indonesia during the period of 2019-2024. The data used are secondary data, and the analysis method is Partial Least Squares (PLS). The results demonstrate that oil prices have a significant influence on inflation and the ICI, while gold prices have a significant influence on inflation but not on the ICI. Additionally, inflation does not act as a moderating variable in the relationship between oil prices and gold prices on the ICI. The R-square value of the ICI variable reached 0.809, indicating a strong relationship between the exogenous variables and the ICI, while inflation had an R-square value of 0.193, classified as weak. Based on these findings, fluctuations in oil prices have a more significant impact on the ICI than gold prices, while inflation is not strong enough to moderate this relationship. This study provides insights for policymakers to mitigate the impact of oil price fluctuations on the stock market, as well as for investors to understand the macroeconomic factors influencing the ICI.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of monetary policy on capital flows in Indonesian Sharia banking. Monetary policy plays a crucial role in determining investment attractiveness through exchange rates and inflation, which can influence investor decisions in allocating capital. This research uses a quantitative approach with multiple linear regression analysis to examine the effects of exchange rates and inflation on capital inflows. The data analyzed covers 36 months from January 2022 to December 2024. The results show that exchange rates have a significant partial influence on capital flows in Sharia banking, while inflation does not have a significant partial effect. These findings indicate that investors consider exchange rate stability to be the primary factor when allocating capital in the Sharia banking sector, highlighting the importance of macroeconomic stability for creating a conducive investment climate.

Abstract

Regional economic growth is greatly influenced by leading sectors. In Pidie Jaya Regency, the plantation sector shows significant potential as a foundation of the local economy due to agro-climatic conditions that favor crops such as oil palm, cocoa, and areca nut. Analyzing the sector's comparative advantage is crucial for formulating sustainable and data-driven development strategies. This study employs a quantitative approach using the Location Quotient (LQ) method to assess the comparative advantage of the plantation sector. Secondary data on the GRDP (Gross Regional Domestic Product) of the sector from 2016 to 2024 were analyzed using the LQ formula, comparing regional output with national figures, while also examining growth trends and fluctuations over the period. The results show that the LQ value for the plantation sector in Pidie Jaya remained below 1 throughout the study period, although it exhibited an upward trend. External factors such as the COVID-19 pandemic affected the sector’s performance; however, the growth trend indicates further development potential. Additionally, regional GRDP demonstrated stable growth, reflecting the resilience of the local economy.
