Abstract

It is alleged that the severity of poverty between fishing communities and farming communities is different. Therefore, the aim of this research is to compare the factors that differentiate the severity of poverty between fishing communities and farming communities in rural areas. This research took the case of fishing communities from Air Napal Sub District, Bengkulu Utara District, and farming communities from Pondok Kelapa Sub District, Bengkulu Tengah District. Data was collected through interviews, observation, group discussions, and documentation methods. Sampling was carried out using purposive sampling. Data analysis was carried out using quantitative methods and qualitative-descriptive methods. The results of the research show that the level (index) of poverty severity in fishing communities is higher (more severe) than in farming communities. Other findings show that the differences in the severity of poverty between these two communities are quite high due to differences in the quality of capital systems, differences in the quality of efforts (facilities and infrastructure), differences in the quality of product marketing network systems, differences in the quality of related cooperative institutions, differences in the quality of social capital, differences in the quality of roles. relevant government agencies, and differences in weather quality and/or pests. Keywords: severity of poverty, fishing communities, farming communities Abstrak Diduga tingkat keparahan kemiskinan antara masyarakat nelayan dan masyarakat petani berbeda. Oleh karena itu, tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk membandingkan faktor-faktor yang membedakan tingkat keparahan kemiskinan antara masyarakat nelayan dan masyarakat petani di daerah pedesaan. Penelitian ini mengambil kasus komunitas nelayan dari Kecamatan Air Napal, Kabupaten Bengkulu Utara, dan komunitas petani dari Kecamatan Pondok Kelapa, Kabupaten Bengkulu Tengah. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara, observasi, diskusi kelompok, dan metode dokumentasi. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan dengan menggunakan purposive sampling. Analisis data dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode kuantitatif dan metode kualitatif-deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tingkat (indeks) keparahan kemiskinan di masyarakat nelayan lebih tinggi (lebih parah) dibandingkan di masyarakat petani. Temuan lain menunjukkan bahwa perbedaan tingkat keparahan kemiskinan antara kedua komunitas ini cukup tinggi karena perbedaan kualitas sistem permodalan, perbedaan kualitas usaha (sarana dan prasarana), perbedaan kualitas sistem jaringan pemasaran produk, perbedaan kualitas lembaga koperasi terkait, perbedaan kualitas modal sosial,  perbedaan kualitas peran. instansi pemerintah terkait, dan perbedaan kualitas cuaca dan/atau hama.

Abstract

Bank Indonesia uses a method known as Inflation Targeting Fraemwork (ITF) in implementing monetary policy. ITF allows BI to explicitly announce its inflation target in order to increase the transparency and accountability of monetary policy. This gives the public a clear picture of how the monetary authority sets its policy. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the ITF in controlling inflation, as well as the influence of other determinants such as money supply, exchange rate, and fiscal deficit on inflation. The study uses time series data for the period 2005-2022. Multiple regression analysis was performed using Eviews 12 software. The results of this study indicate that the establishment of ITF in Indonesia has been effective from 2005 to 2022. The results of data processing Partially the exchange rate has a significant positive effect, JUB has a significant negative effect on inflation, while the budget deficit has no effect on inflation. At the same time, the variables of exchange rate, money supply and budget deficit have a significant effect on inflation in Indonesia.

This study aims to analyze the effect of Information and Communication Technology on PDRB.The study's constituents comprise IPTIK, PTS (number of cell phone subscribers), IT (telecommunications investment), and TPAK. This study's methodology makes use of panel data regression analysis and OLS (Ordinary Least Square) with cross-sectional data from 16 provinces in Java and Sumatera Island and time series data from 2018 to 2021. The study's findings show that TPAK, IT, PTS, and IPTIK all have an impact on PDRB at the same time. With a coefficient value of -0.007 and a significance value of 0.5309 > 0.05, IPTIK had no discernible impact on PDRB. With a significance value of 0.0000 < 0.05 and a coefficient value of 0.007, PTS has a positive and substantial impact on PDRB. With a coefficient value of 0.2654 and a significance value of 0.0000 < 0.05, IT has a substantial and positive impact on PDRB. With a coefficient value of -0.0065 and a significance value of 0.0000 < 0.05, TPAK has a significant and negative impact on PDRB. With an Adjusted R2 value of 0.9998, it can be concluded that variations in the independent variables account for 99.98 percent of the variation in the PDRB. While other factors can account for the remaining 0.02 percent.

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has put pressure on the economy at large. Not only has the performance of the real sector declined, but also the financial sector. This study aims to see the impact of COVID-19 on the financial performance of Sharia banking in Indonesia through five performance indicators: CAR, NPF, ROA, BOPO, and FDR. The study uses secondary data from 2017-2022 on the three categories of Sharia Banking in Indonesia, including Sharia Commercial Banks (BUS), Sharia Business Units (UUS), and Sharia People's Economic Banks (BPRS). The analytical method used is the paired difference test. The results of the study found that Sharia Commercial Banks (BUS) and BPRS showed better financial performance during the pandemic, where the Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) indicator significantly increased and Non-Performing Financing (NPF) significantly decreased. Likewise, the efficiency (BOPO) level is improving at BUS, and the Liquidity (FDR) level at BPRS is improving. Meanwhile, the study did not find significant differences in the financial performance of Sharia Unit Businesses (UUS) for all indicators. These results indicate that the system embedded in Sharia banking is proven to respond better to crises.  Keywords :  Financial Performance, Sharia Banking, Covid-19 Pandemic Abstrak Pandemi Covid-19 telah memberikan tekanan pada perekonomian secara luas.

Abstract

This research aims to determine the effect of village fund and infrastructure variables on income inequality between provinces on the islands of Java and Sumatera. This research uses a quantitative descriptive method, the data used is secondary data, from 2015 - 2021, with a Panel Data regression model analysis tool. Based on the results of research and data processing, the panel data regression results with the best model are the Fixed Effect model, where the village fund variables, national and provincial road infrastructure conditions, electrification ratio and rural household cell phone ownership together have a significant influence on reducing income inequality between provincial governments on the islands of Java and Sumatera. The results of partial statistical tests show that only the rural household cell phone ownership variable has no significant effect in reducing inequality in income distribution between provincial governments on the islands of Sumatera and Java. The implication of this research is that the government must be able to increase the allocation of village funds in the future, prioritize programs and activities for road construction and maintenance so that the quality of the roads is always in good condition and build new roads that produce production. central areas as well as opening village isolation and expanding the reach of electricity services as well as providing Base Transceiver Stations (BTS) to remote villages so that the electrification ratio and use of cellular telephones increases.
