Abstract

This research intends to trace the effects of fluctuations in Brent and WTI oil prices on the job creation sector of East Java Province. The GARCH (1,1) method is used to track the value of oil price fluctuations and the NARDL method is used to find the magnitude of the asymmetric effects. Data in the form of quarterly time series 2011Q1-2022Q4 is also used in this research. The results of the asymmetric test show that there is a significant positive influence between negative fluctuations in Brent and WTI oil prices on the job creation sector in the short-run and there is a significant negative influence between positive fluctuations in Brent and WTI oil prices in the long-run. The test results have contributed to a more complex theoretical study of the impact of oil price fluctuations on the business sector at the provincial level. The test results have produced effective recommendations for stakeholders in East Java Province, namely policymakers and business actors who need to create and use new alternative fuels in production activities. For example, using domestic oil or renewable energy so that it can reduce dependence on international oil price movements. Policymakers can also implement international oil import tariffs and quotas to curb its use.

Abstract

Income inequality is an obstacle for Indonesia to try to escapethe middle income trap. Income inequality in the country shows an upward trend, due to low labor productivity, rising unemployment, and inflation. This study aims to examines the effectof labor productivity, unemployment, inflation, and government spending on health and education in districts/cities of East Java province from 2018 to 2023. The results of theoretical testing using the Sys-GMM analysis model explain that labor productivityshows a relationship with the same direction, as well as significant to the Gini index variable, as a measure of income inequality. The number of low-educated workers and dominated by informal sector workers is a strong reason for this phenomenon. The formation of the regional inflation control team proved to be very effective. This can be seen from the absence of a significant effect of inflation on income inequality. The unemployment rate and income inequality shows a relationship with the same direction and significant. Local government efforts through education spending have a significant effect on income inequality, but the positive relationship between the two indicates that education spending targeting primary and secondary non-vocational education takes a long time to affect income inequality. Health spending has a significant effect on lowering income inequality. Regional health insurance programs and worker health monitoring are quite effective in improving the quality of health of the whole society.

Abstract

This study examines how digital marketing, product enhancement, and virality affect the sustainability of MSMEs, with consumer behavior as an intervening factor. The research employed statistical methods on a sample of 160 MSMEs from the East Java MSME population. Data analysis was conducted using path analysis techniques, preceded by classical assumption tests. The findings indicate a significant direct impact of digital marketing, product enhancement, and virality on consumer behavior and MSMEs’ sustainability. Additionally, consumer behavior was found to have a significant direct influence on the sustainability of MSMEs. Furthermore, the research reveals a significant indirect effect of digital marketing, product enhancement, and virality on the sustainability of MSMEs through the mediation of consumer behavior. The conclusion obtained means that digital marketing, product upgrading and virality have an influence on consumer behavior. These four things influence the sustainability of MSMEs.

Abstract

This study explores the role of Servicescape on personal branding and the competitive advantage of local community lodges in Indonesia’s growing tourism industry. Local community lodges offer authentic cultural experiences and are increasingly sought after by tourists. However, these lodges have some issues with organizational management, which are limited to traditional management techniques and need to promote their services. The study was conducted in Sawiran Community Lodge in Malang, East Java, which has faced problems with ineffective management and the non-implementation of standard operating procedures. The study utilizes a mixed-method approach, including direct observation, questionnaires, in-depth interviews, and purposive sampling with 148 associates of the community lodge. The research reveals that a well-designed Servicescape influences the physical, social, and digital environment and positively impacts the lodges’ competitive advantage and personal branding. The findings suggest that by improving the Servicescape and adhering to standardized operating procedures (SOPs), local community lodges can enhance personal branding mediated by competitive advantages (e.g., guest experience, differentiation from competitors, healthy occupancy rate, and fostering a strong sense of pride among employees). This, in turn, can lead to increased income and a more sustainable tourism model, benefiting both residents and visitors. The research underscores the need for community lodges to adapt to modern practices such as digital marketing, customer relationship management, and sustainable operations to maintain relevance and appeal in a competitive market.

Abstract

East Java is one of the major sugar-producing provinces in Indonesia, home to sugar firms that have been operating for more than a century. However, the annual increase in sugar consumption has not been matched by a corresponding increase in production. Therefore, this study examines the efficiency of the sugar industry in East Java using an output-oriented approach, which separates persistent and transient inefficiencies, as well as an input-oriented approach that examines the use of machinery and energy, along with the determinants of inefficiency. This study applies the Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) method, utilizing microdata from Statistik Industri (SI). The results reveal a trend of decreasing returns to scale in the sugar industry in East Java. Inefficiency in the sugar industry is primarily driven by persistent inefficiency, indicating the presence of structural problems. Furthermore, production inefficiency was found to be higher than inefficiency related to the use of machinery and energy. Export intensity has been shown to reduce inefficiencies in production, machinery use, and energy use. Additionally, greater reliance on imported materials contributes to lower energy inefficiency, while increased market concentration tends to exacerbate production inefficiency.

Abstract

The problem of the declining trend in the percentage of labor and the contribution of the agricultural sector to ADHB GRDP in the last decade indicates the risk of future unsustainability that has a negative impact on the economy of East Java. This study aims to assess the risk of unsustainability of the agricultural sector in East Java based on the vulnerability of internal characteristics of workers. The research method combines cluster analysis and logistic regression on 8 internal characteristics of agricultural workers to calculate the probability of vulnerability. Impact was assessed from historical data on the decline in the number of workers and the contribution of the agricultural sector to GRDP. The risk level was obtained by multiplying the values of opportunity and impact. The results show that East Java Province as a whole has a high level of risk of agricultural sector unsustainability, with details of 3 districts/cities having a very low level of risk, 6 low, 21 high, and 8 very high. Further analysis revealed that areas with higher risk levels generally have agricultural workers with characteristics of older age, low education level, minimal use of technology, low income, short working hours, long working period, low financial bookkeeping, and high informal status. The research conclusions emphasize the importance of prioritizing risk management in areas with high/very high risk levels while still paying attention to areas with very low/low risk levels. Risk management suggestions include: Preventive is carried out in areas with high opportunities and impacts, focusing on improving workers' skills and knowledge and encouraging the adoption of technology. Directive is carried out for areas with small opportunities but large impacts, conducting.
