Abstract

There is complexity in the impact of education sector investment and international trade aspects, on economic growth among the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) member countries. This research aims to examine and analyze the influence of education investment, food exports and imports, and exchange rates on economic growth in five member countries of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). The OIC member countries were determined as research objects because they have similarities in determining halal food as a condition for permitted food imports. The novelty of this research offers a fresh approach by thoroughly investigating these complex relationships, aiming to unveil their combined effects on economic growth, thus providing novel insights for decision-makers. The data used is a combination of time series data and cross-site data so testing begins with a stationary test and a cointegration test. The data span used includes 12 years. The results show that all the data used is stationary at the first difference level, and together or in groups all variables are cointegrated in the long term. Testing the hypothesis using the multiple linear regression method, it was found that education investment and exports had a positive effect on economic growth while imports and the exchange rate had a negative effect. The ability of these four variables to explain variations in changes in economic growth in the five OIC member countries is 72 percent and 28 percent is explained by other variables outside the model. The results of this research prove that the higher our dependence on food imported from abroad will reduce economic growth and conversely, if food exports can be increased it will increase the country's economic growth. This research has implications for international trade policy in increasing the economic growth of the five OIC member countries.

Abstract

The economy is a very important thing in a country, the success of the State in controlling its economic activities can be seen in the country's economic growth rate. The purpose of this study is to determine the influence of the development index of information communication technology and E-commerce on economic growth in Indonesia. This study aims to demonstrate the impact of the correlation between the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Development Index and E-Commerce on economic growth and increase understanding of the influence of developments in the ICT and E-Commerce domains on Indonesia's economic expansion. The variables in this study are the development index of communication, information technology, and E-commerce as independent variables and economic growth as the dependent variable. The type of research used is quantitative research with panel data analysis using the EViews10 application with the Fixed Effect Model (FEM) method. The population and sample in this study are time series data for 3 years and cross-section data for 34 provinces in Indonesia. The results show that the Information Communication Technology Development Index has a significant effect on Indonesia's economic growth in 2019-2021 which shows the direction of positive influence and E-Commerce (the percentage of businesses doing e-commerce) has a significant effect on economic growth, but shows the direction of negative influence. The impact of this research demonstrates the importance of allocating investments and policies to advance ICT development in Indonesia, which requires allocating government resources to initiatives such as infrastructure upgrades, digital literacy programs, and supportive regulatory frameworks. In addition, the research also highlights the potential to foster more inclusive economic growth through improving access to ICT tools, empowering marginalized communities, and addressing regulatory barriers to facilitate e-commerce growth in Indonesia.

Abstract

The digital economy (e-commerce) is an important tool to enhance SMEs, with various limitations, including digital literacy and SMEs owner characteristics. The novelty of this study is to provide a deeper understanding and new evidence of the linkage between digital literacy and e-commerce for SMEs. The future expected impact of this study is the government should facilitate and improve the level of digital literacy and e-commerce for SMEs. In particular, this study sets a question, namely: Does technology literacy lead the digital economy (e-commerce) for SMEs? Therefore, this study investigates the determinant factors of e-commerce by moderating variable of digital literacy among SMEs in the Malang region (Malang City, Malang Regency, and Batu City). The sample size is 43 respondents actively involved in business training and mentoring by SME associations, business incubators, and local governments. The respondents have social media and e-commerce to stimulate their sales. The sampling method was purposive sampling. The sample was collected through a survey during March - April 2024. Path analysis was applied to elaborate the study objectives. The findings reveal that the indicators constructing digital literacy and e-commerce are valid and reliable. The digital literacy was influenced by the age of SME owner and economic media. Besides, the digital literacy has a positive and significant impact on e-commerce at the 1% level. E-commerce is also determined by firm establishment. This condition means that an increase in the quality of digital literacy can lead to a rise in e-commerce utilisation. The implications of this study suggest that SME associations, business incubators and local governments facilitate the improvement of SMEs' digital literacy and their ability to utilise e-commerce appropriately to grow their businesses in the long term. In addition, SMEs should improve their digital business skills through various training and business mentoring conducted by local governments and business incubators.

Abstract

This study discusses the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the form of deaths because of COVID-19 and the number of positive cases of COVID-19 on economic growth, unemployment and poverty in 34 provinces in Indonesia. The novelty of the study innovatively analyzes COVID-19's impact on Indonesia's economic growth, unemployment, and poverty using a Three-Stage Least Squares (3SLS) regression, offering robust insights and valuable guidance for comprehensive recovery strategies. The future impact of this study is to provide crucial insights that will guide more effective policy decisions and set a new standard for economic impact research. This research method uses panel regression 3SLS (Three-Stage Least Square), in which this method is used to estimate a system of simultaneous equations. The endogenous variables used in this study are economic growth, unemployment, and poverty while the exogenous variables used in this study consist of labour, wages, COVID-19 death rate, and positive cases of COVID-19. The results obtained in this study show that the COVID-19 pandemic, which consists of the COVID-19 death rate and the positive cases of COVID-19, had a significant effect on Indonesia's economic growth. In addition, the death rate of COVID-19 and positive cases of COVID-19 also have a significant effect on unemployment in Indonesia. Finally, the death rate for COVID-19 and positive cases for COVID-19 also have a significant effect on poverty in Indonesia. The research limitation of this study is that this study only uses the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia. The implication of this research, the government must prioritize efforts to control the spread of COVID-19 to mitigate its adverse effects on economic growth, unemployment, and poverty.

Abstract

The issue of foreign debt as a source of development financing (budget deficit) has become a classic debate, both at the theoretical and practical levels. However, foreign debt will become a problem if the debt is not managed properly. This study aims to determine the effect of exports, foreign exchange reserves, and exchange rates on foreign debt in Indonesia. The novelty of this research is that the population in this study is the entire time series data of foreign debt, exports, foreign exchange reserves, and the exchange rate of the rupiah against the US dollar. The future impact of this study is to help improve public understanding of the urgency of the determinants and influence of foreign debt in Indonesia for the government. This research is a type of quantitative descriptive research. The type of data used is data sourced from secondary data in the form of cross-section covering the country of Indonesia and time series with a period of 30 years so that there are 31 samples that are quantitative. The research was conducted by means of library research. Data collection techniques are carried out by studying books that are relevant to the object of research or other sources that support library study research conducted by researchers in conducting library studies. Based on the regression result, it can be concluded that there is a simultaneous significant effect of the independent variables in the form of Exports, Foreign Exchange Reserves, and the Rupiah Exchange Rate against the USD on the Foreign Debt with an R-Squared value of 92.11 percent. Then, based on the partial Test, export has a negative and significant effect on the foreign debt. Meanwhile, each foreign exchange reserve and Rupiah exchange rate have a positive and significant effect on the Foreign Debt. The policy implications of these findings can include government efforts in the hope of finding other alternatives to increase Indonesian state development funds other than relying on foreign debt. For example, it can be done by increasing export activities abroad and reducing import activities. Furthermore, maintaining the stability of the exchange rate so that it does not weaken further because it can result in a decrease in the value of the US dollar, making foreign debt in Indonesia increasingly accumulate.
