Abstract

The objectives of this study are: 1. To find out the description of student activities during the covid19 pandemic, 2. To analyze the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on student academic performance. The number of respondents in this study were 400 students, using purposive random sampling method, taken as many as 2.5 percent of students from 8 faculties at Bengkulu University. The data were analyzed descriptively and statistically by using Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The results of the study found that there were differences in student activities before the pandemic to the pandemic period. During the pandemic the time spent for reading lecture material decreased, while the time spent for doing assignments increased. Working students also increased during the pandemic. Advantages of online lectures: a) saving on transportation costs; b) more technology literate; c) cost-effective appearance; d) more independent in learning; e) keep up with the times; f) saving on the cost of renting a boarding room. Constraints of online lectures: a) Inadequate/unstable internet network; b) Difficulty understanding the material; c) Limited quota owned; d) difficult to adjust lecture time; e) the home environment does not support online lectures; f) inadequate gadgets or hardware. The impact of the pandemic on student academic performance: i). from the aspect of the semester achievement index (IPS), in general it increased in all faculties, the average IPS increased from 3.35 to 3.45. ii). From the aspect of learning independence, on average it increased from good enough to good, iii). However, from the aspect of understanding the lecture material, on average there was a decrease from good (scale value 4.09 out of 5) to not good (scale value 2.57 out of 5). Statistical testing also supports a significant difference in student performance between before the Covid19 pandemic and during the Covid19 pandemic. In terms of semester achievement index (IPS) and learning independence, both increased, but in terms of material understanding decreased. There is a discrepancy between the GPA and students' understanding of the course material Keywords: Student activities1, student performance2, covid19 pandemic3, online lectures4, Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test 5

Abstract

The contradictory economic conjuncture of economic growth and income inequality began with the continuous economic recession and was strengthened by the pressure of the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of this research is to reveal and analyze the causes of the problem of economic contraction and income inequality in Bengkulu and Kepulauan Riau Provinces. The type of data collected only comes from secondary data, namely from the Indonesian Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), which is analyzed using statistical analysis and descriptive analysis methods. The research results showed that the trend of economic growth and economic inequality in the two provinces (Bengkulu and Kepulauan Riau) are both decreasing. The bad influence (backwash effect) in the form of a global economic recession and the Covid-19 pandemic case (2019–2020) is considered to be the cause of economic contraction in the form of a decline in economic growth which is extreeme/minus (-0.02 in Bengkulu Province and -3.80 in Kepulauan Riau Province). The trend of income inequality (measured by the Gini index) which is decreasing from year to year is considered a form of contradiction (anomaly) because it is considered to be at odds with the decline in economic growth at the same time. Keywords: Economic contraction, Economic growth, Income inequality, Economic recession

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.

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

One of the indicators of the success of development is the level of poverty. This study aims to determine the effect of Economic Growth, Open Unemployment Rate, Inflation, Human Development Index, and Domestic Investment  on the poverty rate in 34 Provinces in Indonesia in 2017-2022. Data were obtained from the official website of Statistics Indonesia. This study used a quantitative method and data analysis used pane data regression with the selected mode Fix Effect Mode (FEM) with the help of Eviews9 software. The results showed that simultaneously economic growth, open unemployment rate, inflation, human development index, and domestic investment influence poverty levels in 34 provinces in Indonesia. Meanwhile, partially, Economic Growth, Open Unemployment Rate, Inflation, and Human Development Index significantly reduced poverty levels, while Domestic Investment did not significantly reduce poverty levels. For that reason, in order to reduce poverty levels in Indonesia, governments can focus on boosting economic growth and the human development index, job creation and suppressing inflation. The absorption of labor in the labor market will provide wages and increase income to meet daily needs which then reduce the poverty level. The decrease in inflation can increase people's purchasing power because people have adequate financial capacity to consume and meet their daily needs. The increase in the human development index will increase productivity, output, and remuneration for a company. Keywords :  Poverty, Economic Growth, Open Unemployment Rate , Inflation , Human Development Index, Domestic Investment. Abstrak Salah satu indikator keberhasilan pembangunan adalah tingkat kemiskinan. Studi ini bertujuan untuk menentukan pengaruh Pertumbuhan Ekonomi, Tingkat Pengangguran Terbuka, Inflasi, Indeks Pembangunan Manusia dan Investasi Dalam Negeri pada tingkat kemiskinan di 34 Provinsi di Indonesia pada 2017-2022. Data tersebut diperoleh dari situs resmi Statistics Indonesia. Studi ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif dan analisis data menggunakan regresi data panel dengan mode Fix Effect Mode (FEM) yang dipilih dengan bantuan perangkat lunak Eviews9. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pertumbuhan ekonomi, tingkat pengangguran terbuka, inflasi, indeks perkembangan manusia, dan investasi domestik secara simultan mempengaruhi tingkat kemiskinan di 34 provinsi di Indonesia. Sementara itu, sebagian, Pertumbuhan Ekonomi, Tingkat Pengangguran Terbuka, Inflasi, dan Indeks Pembangunan Manusia secara signifikan mengurangi tingkat kemiskinan, sementara Investasi Domestik tidak secara substansial mengurangi tingkat Kemiskinan. Oleh karena itu, untuk mengurangi tingkat kemiskinan di Indonesia, pemerintah dapat fokus pada mendorong pertumbuhan ekonomi dan indeks pengembangan manusia, menciptakan pekerjaan dan menekan inflasi. Penyerapan tenaga kerja di pasar tenaga kerja akan memberikan upah dan meningkatkan pendapatan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan sehari-hari yang kemudian mengurangi tingkat kemiskinan. Penurunan inflasi dapat meningkatkan daya beli orang karena orang memiliki kapasitas keuangan yang memadai untuk mengkonsumsi dan memenuhi kebutuhan sehari-hari mereka. Peningkatan indeks pengembangan manusia akan meningkatkan produktivitas, output, dan remunerasi untuk sebuah perusahaan. Kata kunci : Kemiskinan, Pertumbuhan Ekonomi, Tingkat Pengangguran Terbuka, Inflasi, Manusia Indeks Pembangunan, Investasi domestik.

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.

Abstract

Special Economic Zones (SEZ) is an area with certain limitations that has geoeconomic and geostrategic advantages. The regions that are incorporated into SEZ are given special facilities and incentives as an investment attraction so that many companies are involved in it. These special facilities and incentives include tax allowance, tax holiday, exemption from customs duties and taxes, facilitation of goods traffic and others. However, not all SEZ work. There are SEZ's in trouble so there's one SEZ that needs to be revoked and warned. This indicates that the SEZ does not have a comprehensive preparation especially infrastructure so that investors are not interested in investing. The aim of this study is to analyse the impact of infrastructure gaps represented by basic infrastructure, connectivity and fiscal stimulus on the development of the Special Economic Zone in Indonesia. The research method is panel data regression with cross section data amounting to 19 SEZ and time series over 7 years. The results of the research showed that the basic infrastructure consisting of electricity, clean water and long roads did not have a significant impact on the development of the Special Economic Zones (SEZ) in Indonesia. Meanwhile, connectivity that consisted of access to ports had a significant influence on the growth of the SEZ in Indonesia while access to airports had no significant impact. Keywords :  Infrastructure gaps, Basic Infrastructure, Connectivity, Fiscal Stimulus, SEZ Abstrak Kawasan Ekonomi Khusus (KEK) merupakan sebuah kawasan dengan batasan tertentu yang memiliki keunggulan geoekonomi dan geostrategi. Daerah yang tergabung dalam KEK diberikan fasilitas dan insentif khusus sebagai daya tarik investasi agar banyak perusahaan yang terlibat didalamnya. Fasilitas dan insentif khusus tersebut antara lain tax allowance, tax holiday, pembebasan bea masuk dan cukai, kemudahan lalu lintas barang dan lain-lain. Namun demikian, tidak semua KEK berhasil. Terdapat KEK yang mengalami masalah sehingga ada satu KEK yang harus dicabut statusnya dan diperingatkan. Hal ini mengindikasikan bahwa KEK tersebut tidak memiliki kesiapan yang komprehensif terutama infrastruktur sehingga investor tidak tertarik berinvestasi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis pengaruh kesenjangan infrastruktur yang direpresentasikan oleh infrastruktur dasar, konektivitas dan stimulus fiskal terhadap perkembangan Kawasan Ekonomi Khusus di Indonesia. Metode penelitian ialah regresi data panel dengan data cross section yang berjumlah 19 KEK dan time series selama 7 tahun. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa infrastruktur dasar yang terdiri atas listrik, pemakaian air bersih dan panjang jalan tidak berpengaruh signifikan terhadap perkembangan Kawasan Ekonomi Khusus (KEK) di Indonesia. Sementara itu, konektivitas yang terdiri atas akses ke pelabuhan berpengaruh signifikan terhadap perkembangan Kawasan Ekonomi Khusus (KEK) di Indonesia sedangkan akses ke bandara tidak berpengaruh signifikan. Kemudian stimulus fiskal berpengaruh signifikan terhadap perkembangan Kawasan Ekonomi Khusus (KEK) di Indonesia.
