Abstract

Informal sector vendors have now penetrated every city. This phenomenon is interesting to study further, especially their rational efforts to maintain their business. This study aims to determine how the rationality of informal sector vendor groups works in running and maintaining their business. Studying rationality becomes important because, for base consideration, it is important that they run in the group so that they are capable of maintaining their efforts until the moment. This study uses a social definition paradigm with a qualitative approach and a case study research type. The data collection methods used are in-depth interviews and observations. Data analysis uses interactive model analysis with data validity checks by triangulation. The study results show that informal sector vendors do not run informal sector vendors individually and separately, but their vendors are run in groups. The existence of these groups is important because they can help each other or help each other, support each other's vendors by maintaining harmony and mutual respect between each other so that they can run and maintain their business. The rationality of informal sector vendors is included in the type of value rational action (Werk Rational).

Abstract

This research aims to examine the impact of social media marketing and consumer relationships on the decision-making process regarding enrollment in private universities, as well as to assess their influence on the brand perception of these institutions. Additionally, it seeks to analyze how the perceived brand image affects the decision to enroll in a private university. The study targeted new students entering private universities in Jember Regency for the 2023/2024 academic year, using proportional random sampling methods for data collection via questionnaires. Statistical analysis and hypothesis testing were conducted using SEM-PLS methodology. Findings indicate that social media marketing significantly affects the decision to enroll in a private university, while consumer relationship factors do not. Moreover, both social media marketing and consumer relationships impact the brand image of private universities, which subsequently influences enrollment decisions. Indirect testing reveals that brand image serves as a mediating factor in the relationship between social media marketing, consumer relationships, and the decision to enroll in a private university.

Abstract

Income is one of the most popular dimensions for measuring welfare and development; hence, comparing welfare and well-being among countries can be conducted by comparing their per capita income. While income convergence is a certain implication in neoclassical growth theory, it does not always occur empirically. This study aims to investigate whether income convergence occurs among economies. Employing data from 93 countries from 1980 to 2022 obtained from the World Bank, the two-way fixed effect panel model is implemented to verify the existence of β-convergence. The result shows that the initial per capita gross domestic product, representing income, negatively affects income growth, indicating that β-convergence occurs in terms of global and club convergence. This implies that poor countries grew faster than affluent countries. After β-convergence is confirmed, σ-convergence is analyzed by measuring the income dispersion across countries over time. σ-convergence exists if the dispersion declines as time passes. The result shows that σ-convergence exists only among G20, OECD, lower-middle-income, higher-middle-income, and high-income countries. This fact implies that the income gap between poor and rich countries within those groups shrinks over time. In contrast, the income gap among low-income countries did not experience a significant decline during the period. Therefore, international organizations and partnerships must pay more attention to and assist lower-income countries to achieve higher growth rates.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze whether world governance indicators can reduce greenhouse gas emissions in ASEAN countries. The data used is panel data of 11 ASEAN member countries in the period 2013 – 2020 with justifications before and after the Paris Agreement with panel regression methods and mapping using orange data mining geo maps. Empirical results show that political stability no violence, government effectiveness, corruption control, and the implementation of the Paris Agreement are able to reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions. It was concluded that the success of the Paris Agreement will occur when committed countries dare to carry out economic transformation. However, to achieve this, significant adjustments are needed, and all parties must have a uniform vision for achieving the net zero carbon target.

Abstract

Low electricity consumption, restricted road length, and insufficient road infrastructure are believed to contribute to low per capita income and high poverty rates in East Nusa Tenggara. To substantiate this hypothesis, a study was undertaken in that province and the population are 21 districts and one city. This study analyzed data from 2019 to 2023 and utilized the Panel Data Regression analysis method. The findings of this study indicate that electricity consumption significantly impacts the increase in per capita income. Conversely, to alleviate poverty, the variable of road length exerts a significant influence. However, road infrastructure variables have shown no effect on boosting per capita income or reducing poverty. Formulation of strategies to diminish poverty while augmenting per capita income was conducted through the Analytical Network Process (ANP) analysis tool, involving nine stakeholders and decision-makers within the region.  ANP is a supportive tool in decision-making processes  that has many criterias and sub criterias. The agreed-upon strategy focuses on three primary priorities: enhancing community electricity consumption, extending road lengths, and enhancing road infrastructure.

The findings reveal that women's economic conditions and work culture significantly influence the entrepreneurial empowerment model. Moreover, the findings demonstrate that self-efficacy plays crucial role in directly enhancing the impact of women's economic empowerment on their entrepreneurial traditions.

Abstract

The aim of this research is to assess the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the quality of good local government governance. This study involved all provincial governments in Indonesia with observation years 2019 and 2020. The assessment of the quality of good regional governance was measured using the Principal Component Analysis method. The test was carried out by comparing the value of the good regional governance index in the year before the Covid-19 outbreak with the value of the good regional governance index in the year of the Covid-19 outbreak. The findings showed that the governance index of all provincial governments in 2020 decreased by an average of 0.68 points or 10.82% so that the Covid-19 Pandemic in Indonesia has reduced the quality of regional governance. Therefore, all stakeholders need to be more serious in building the principles of good governance from planning to control to maintain quality, even in crisis situations.
