Abstract

Pension funds are financial programs established by individuals or companies to secure the future of employees by providing benefits during their retirement years. Pension funds are built up through contributions made by both the participants (employees) and the employer. To calculate the amount of pension benefits, normal costs, and actuarial liabilities, various method are used, including the constant percent benefit prorate method. A key factor influencing these calculations is the interest rate. This study employs the Vasicek model, a stochastic interest rate model, to analyze the Unfunded Actuarial Liability (UAL). The analysisi reveals that the amount of normal cost (annual contributions) will vary, and both contributions and actuarial liabilities that are calculated using vasicek interest rate for each participant will adjust based on the interest rate during their retirement period. The amount of UAL is derived from the discrepancy between the total amount of actuarial liabilities from all the participant in certain period and the accumulated funds. The UAL is sufficient to cover future pension fund payments when calculated using the Vasicek interest rate model.

Abstract

Stock returns are often the primary objectives for investors, financial analysts as well as the politicians with the intention to make a right investment decision. In this paper, we study the performance of the three-parameters Dirichlet universal portfolio on selected stocks during the COVID-19 pandemic. Some empirical results are obtained based on some selected data sets from the local stock exchange. The period of trading of the stocks are selected from 2nd January 2020 to 18th August 2021 consisting of 400 trading days. The empirical results seem to indicate the three-parameters Dirichlet universal portfolio performs well during the COVID-19 pandemic by a proper choice of parameters. Also, this study provides evidence that the capital achievement at the end of the 400th trading days is influenced by the arrangement of the stocks within each selected data set. Besides, the performance of the homogeneous datasets, particularly, main data set from healthcare sector, is better than heterogeneous datasets during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) allow students to learn online at any time and from any location. Unfortunately, poor completion rates and a large student group make it difficult for teachers to keep track of their student’s progress. Due to a lack of adequate counselling, students who perform poorly are more likely to give up. The goal of this study was to predict student’s certification by analyzing data on student’s learning behavior. The initial data on learning behavior was obtained from edX, a well-known MOOC platform. Based on this data, three statistical models such as logistic regression, graph convolutional network, and cluster analysis were utilized to predict student’s performance. The proposed model’s usefulness was demonstrated by using a testing set of data from the actual courses. Our findings showed that tracking student activity in terms of number of unique days active, watching videos, participating in forum discussions, and exploring more courseware content might help predict student’s performance in MOOC and enhance completion rates.

Abstract

On the rise in Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) prices and cash rates, a conventional least squares analysis was used to determine the relationship between the respondent variable, inflation, and the explanatory variables, PMS price and exchange rate. According to the results, as evidenced by the conventional least squares regression, the PMS price and money rate were significant drivers of inflation, accounting for about 88% of the fluctuation in inflation. Additionally, the Breusch-agnostic test revealed that the residuals of the direct regression model were not heteroscedastic, and the ACF and PACF tests revealed that the error terms did not have autocorrelation. The Jarque-Bera ordinariness test was used to express the perceived background noise as normal. As demonstrated by the findings, the increase in the price of PMS and the decline in the value of the Naira influenced Nigerian inflation. Finally, based on the research econometric outcomes and interpretations, the study discussed the policy implications of these findings and offered recommendations. For future work, research should be conducted on energy transition and efficiency.

Abstract

In the second half of 2022, the tourism industry started recovering from the vast impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Tourism is one of the most feasible sources of income for the small, rural village of Girpasang, situated at the heights of Mount Merapi. Tourist satisfaction has been attributed to the success of tourist destinations and is, therefore, a benchmark for their development. This study aimed to explain the factors that affected tourist satisfaction and other underlying aspects that call for improvement, using confirmatory factor analysis and text mining. The data used was collected from a total of 102 respondents at Girpasang Village within two days. The results showed that there were five common factors affecting tourist satisfaction: staff attitude, reliability of tourist facilities, comfort of tourist facilities, comprehensiveness of facilities provided, and tangible condition of the environment. Based on text mining results of tourist critics, it was found that access roads were the most profound complaint.

Abstract

In this study, a mathematical model has been developed to make the facility layout planning of the annex building, which is being built right next to the old building of a factory that produces plastic parts. Some or all parts of the departments, such as injection machines, semi-finished products, product, raw material warehouses, molding room, and paint shop in the old building of the factory can be moved to the new building. Nevertheless, some cannot be moved. Since injection machines use cranes for electricity, plumbing, and mold transport, relocation is very costly. Different layouts are proposed with the developed mathematical model for seven scenarios that allow and do not allow partitions of the departments. The proposed layout plans were compared in terms of the total carrying costs of the products and the carrying costs of the sections. In this way, the factory has been presented with a significant cost reduction opportunity.

Abstract

West Java was the province with the highest unemployed rate during the COVID-19 pandemic. Significant increase of open ‎unemployment rate in West Java negatively impacts the national income. This study aims to apply the ‎clustering method using the k-means algorithm to determine priority clusters in West Java ‎Province by looking at the number of clusters in West Java’s city and the main characteristic of ‎each cluster. The clustering was conducted utilizing a k-means clustering algorithm which is grouping data based on similar ‎characteristics. The clustering results were evaluated using silhouette method. The results indicated that ‎two clusters were optimal. The clustering process using the k-means method showed that there were three clusters distinguishing the open unemployment rate during the pandemic in West Java Province in 2020. Cluster 1 ‎had a fairly low open unemployment rate due to the stalled service sector and low minimum city wage. ‎Cluster 2 had a high open unemployment rate due to the service sector and high minimum city wage. ‎Cluster 3 had medium open unemployment rate due to the service sector and also medium minimum city ‎wage. It suggests that cluster 2 is a priority cluster in dealing with the open unemployment rate.‎

Abstract

Samarang is one of the subdistricts in the Garut Regency with the most tourism potential. According to 2021 data from Garut Statistics Indonesia, the tourism potential in the Samarang included nature tourism, cultural tourism, special interest tourism, and artificial tourism. Nature tourism had the highest proportion of approximately 49.15% compared to other tourism. Still, there is limited access to these tourist sites due to considerable distance, damaged road conditions, and remoteness from settlements. This research aims to determine the optimal route, cost, and travel time to access the tourist location. Based on this, the methods used were graph theory and network analysis methods. The distance determination was done using Google Maps and quantitative analysis. The results showed that the shortest distance to access tourist sites in the Samarang from the center of Garut city was about 15.55 km, required the cost of IDR132,000, and travel duration of 52 minutes. At the same time, the results of the network analysis method revealed that the normal route was around 21.35 km, which cost IDR158,000 and required a travel time of 66 minutes.

Abstract

This research discussed a hybrid Maximal Overlap Discrete Wavelet Transform (MODWT)-Autoregressive Moving Average (ARMA) model by combining the MODWT and the ARMA models to deal with the nonstationary and long-range dependence (LRD) time series. Theoretically, the details series obtained by MODWT are stationary and short-range dependent (SRD). Then, the general form of the MODWT-ARMA model was derived. In the experimental study, the daily Indonesia stock exchange LQ45 index time series was used to assess the performance of the hybrid model. Finally, the Mean Squared Error (MSE) and Mean Absolute Percent Error (MAPE) comparison with DWT-ARMA, ARIMA, and exponential smoothing models indicates that this combined model effectively improves forecasting accuracy. Based on the result of the analysis, the score of MSE of the MODWT-ARMA model was 51.42533, the score of the DWT-ARMA model was 180.1799, the score of the ARIMA model was 168.7863, and the score of the exponential smoothing model was 168.7824. At the same time, the score of MAPE in the MODWT-ARMA model was 0.00580797, the score of the DWT-ARMA model was 0.01106721, the score of the ARIMA model was 0.01070074, and the score of the exponential smoothing model was 0.01069591.

Abstract

Asia’s GDP experienced the most drastic decline during the COVID-19 compared to other economic crises. This study collected data on economic indicators for each province/city to observe economic growth in Indonesia, such as Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP), unemployment rate, and economic growth. The clustering method on time series data found several provinces/cities with similar economic growth patterns to observe the pandemic's impact on their economies. Knowing the pattern of economic growth will help the regulation holder support provinces with the right policy. For this purpose, we utilized the Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) distance with the k-medoids procedure. The DTW is an algorithm for measuring the similarity between two temporal sequences. The clustering of the three economic indicators had three clusters with the most optimal validation index. Each cluster had almost the same pattern since the trend tended to increase from before the pandemic and then decrease during the pandemic. The decrease in GRDP was less significant than the minimal data on GRDP that happened before the pandemic. Most provinces had negative economic growth during the pandemic, which skyrocketed even for the first quarter of 2023, almost the same as before the pandemic.
