Abstract

This research examines the extent to which escalating global coffee prices influence Indonesia's coffee import behavior by analyzing the interplay of macroeconomic variables and industrial demand. Utilizing monthly time series data spanning from January 2018 to May 2025, the investigation employs an Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model to delineate both short-run and long-run dynamics. The findings indicate that, in the short term, coffee imports diminish as a consequence of inflation and depreciation of the exchange rate, which is indicative of traditional cost-based adjustments. Conversely, in the long term, episodes of increased coffee prices correlate with a notable surge in imports. This trend suggests that Indonesia’s coffee import activities are motivated less by price deterrents and more by structural demand forces, particularly domestic supply limitations and ongoing processing requirements. The results imply the presence of imperfect price transmission and derived import demand within Indonesia’s coffee market, indicating that the dual function of the nation as both an exporter and importer may underscore inherent rigidity in domestic supply capabilities rather than solely market-driven trade reactions.

Abstract

High turnover intention is a crucial challenge in human resource management, particularly in the outsourcing sector in the industrial area of Tangerang Regency. This study examines the influence of perceived organisational support, job insecurity, emotional intelligence, and work-family conflict on turnover intention through the mediation of job burnout. This quantitative study involved 300 outsourcing employees with a minimum of one year of service. Data were analysed using Structural Equation Modelling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with SmartPLS 4 software. The results showed that all variables studied had a positive influence on job burnout and turnover intention. Job burnout was found to act as a significant mediator between the four independent variables and turnover intention. These findings underscore the importance of addressing perceived organisational support, job insecurity, work-family conflict, and emotional intelligence in managing burnout and minimising employees' desire to resign. The study provides practical insights for outsourcing company management to create a supportive work environment and develop employees' soft skills to enhance organisational productivity.

Abstract

As climate-related disasters increase in intensity and frequency, Indonesia is becoming more vulnerable to their impacts. Among these disasters, flooding is one of the most threatening hazards, causing both short and long-term economic consequences. While existing literature reports the impact of a single event, the impact of disaster on economic performance or immediate impact of disaster, the dynamic impacts on both GRDP per capita and inequality remain underexplored. To address this research gap, this study analyzes the economic impacts of floods using a Panel Autoregressive Distributed Lag (P-ARDL) model. It examines how floods affect GRDP per capita and inequality levels in both short and long run. The analysis also incorporates other explanatory variables, including Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), Domestic Investment (DDI), the Human Development Index (HDI), and population size.  The results indicate that, in the long run, floods have a negative effect on GRDP per capita; a 1% increase in flood events reduces GRDP per capita by 0.48%. In the short term, every 1% increase in flood frequency is associated with a 0.013% reduction in per capita GRDP. This study also reveals that floods have a significant negative impact on income inequality in both the short and long term. However, this paradoxical finding needs careful interpretation. It may not indicate an increase in social welfare but rather reflects the impact of flooding on wealthier groups, potentially narrowing the gap. Further research is needed to confirm this. This research underscores the importance of improving flood mitigation to maximize flood prevention and strengthen the resilience of economic productivity. Furthermore, the research findings need to be further explored, including the mechanisms by which floods reduce per capita GRDP and explore how floods can reduce inequality.

Abstract

In emerging markets, green accounting and auditor reputation have emerged as important determinants of business value. However, the combined impact of the two remains understudied in Indonesia. This study argues that, based on agency and signaling theory, ESG disclosures and Big Four audit affiliation serve as additional signals that reduce information asymmetry between investors and companies. This quantitative study employed a causal research design. Purposive sampling was used to select a sample of 85 companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) in 2024. Firm value was calculated using Tobin's Q ratio, IDX ESG performance score indicating green accounting, and auditor reputation operationalized as a binary variable indicating Big Four affiliation. The hypothesized relationship was tested using multiple linear regression. The results showed that green accounting had a significant positive effect on firm value (β = 0.115; p < 0.001), and auditor reputation also had a significant positive effect (β = 6.982; p < 0.001). However, these figures collectively account for a significant portion of the variation in firm value (F = 487.023; p < 0.001; R2 = 0.904), although consideration of sample pre-selection and mode specification should be considered. According to these findings, transparent environmental reporting enhances corporate accountability, and Big Four affiliation enhances investor confidence in financial reporting. This study suggests that audit diversity and credibility jointly enhance market valuation, with practical implications for corporate reporting strategies and investor decision-making in emerging markets. This adds to the emerging market ESG literature.

Abstract

Regional disparities in service infrastructure persist across Indonesia despite spatial planning efforts. This study addresses the critical gap between normative planning (RTRW 2012) and empirical service center hierarchy in Gorontalo Regency. Using an integrated approach combining Guttman scalogram analysis and Marshall centrality index—a methodological innovation in regional analysis—we identified five hierarchical levels of service centers based on facility distribution across 19 sub-districts. The key finding reveals a serious asynchronization between planned hierarchy (RTRW) and empirical reality: while Tibawa is designated as the regional activity center (PKW), scalogram analysis demonstrates that Limboto and Telaga represent the functionally dominant centers with significantly higher service capacity and facility diversity. Conversely, several peripheral zones designated as PPL (environmental service centers) show higher potential than planned estimates. These findings demonstrate that spatial planning in Gorontalo Regency has not effectively aligned with actual economic and infrastructure development patterns. We recommend RTRW revision based on empirical evidence to optimize infrastructure investment allocation and support more equitable regional development. This research contributes theoretically by demonstrating the applicability of integrated spatial analysis methods to Indonesian regional contexts and provides practical policy guidance for responsive spatial planning in decentralized governance systems.

Abstract

This study investigates how Financial Technology (FinTech) influences banking profitability in Indonesia by comparing conventional and Islamic banks amid the country’s ongoing digital transformation. While FinTech adoption has grown rapidly in recent years, prior studies have mostly examined only one type of banking system, leaving limited evidence on whether digital financial services affect conventional and Islamic banks differently. To address this gap, this research uses a quantitative approach based on panel data from 180 observations of selected banks during the 2020–2024 period. FinTech adoption is represented by QRIS and mobile banking transactions, while profitability is measured using ROA, ROE, and NIM for conventional banks and NOM for Islamic banks. Multiple linear regression and classical assumption tests were used to analyze the data. The findings show that the impact of FinTech on profitability is not uniform across banking models. In conventional banks, QRIS significantly improves ROA and ROE, indicating that digital payment adoption helps improve transaction efficiency and financial performance. In Islamic banks, QRIS shows a broader impact and contributes more consistently to profitability, particularly in improving asset performance. Meanwhile, mobile banking tends to show weaker effects, suggesting that its financial benefits may take longer to materialize. These results highlight that the effectiveness of digital financial adoption depends on the operational characteristics of each banking system. This study adds comparative evidence from an emerging economy and suggests that regulators and banks should develop digital strategies that align with the specific needs of both conventional and Islamic financial institutions.

Abstract

This study investigates the effect of investment and exports on poverty, considering the role of economic growth as a mediating variable. It uses a quantitative approach through path analysis and panel data from 2013 to 2024 in four nickel-producing provinces, namely North Maluku, Southeast Sulawesi, South Sulawesi, and Central Sulawesi. The results show that investment and exports contribute directly to economic growth, but only investment has a significant impact on poverty reduction. Indirectly, neither has a significant effect on poverty through economic growth. These findings indicate that the growth that has occurred is not yet inclusive, so it is necessary to strengthen access to basic services and create jobs in labor-intensive sectors to encourage a more equitable distribution of economic benefits.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the structural contribution of local taxes, local levies, and Transfers to Regions and Village Funds (TKKD) in forming regional revenue in Banten Province for the period 2016–2024. This study uses secondary data from the Budget Realization Report (LRA) of districts/cities in Banten Province over nine years of observation, resulting in 72 panel data observations. The analysis method used is panel data regression with a Fixed Effect Model. The results indicate that local taxes, local levies, and TKKD each make a positive and significant contribution to regional revenue. Comparatively, local levies have the largest coefficient (2.4213116), followed by local taxes (1.389492) and TKKD (0.4124826). The R-squared value of 0.7339 indicates that the independent variables explain 73.39% of the variation in regional revenue. Given that the independent variables are structural components of regional revenue, the estimates reflect fiscal sensitivity rather than pure causal relationships. This finding indicates that even though Local Own-Source Revenue capacity has increased, fiscal dependence on central government transfers remains considerable. This study contributes by integrating the TKKD variable into provincial-level panel data analysis and presenting the latest empirical evidence on the structure of regional fiscal dependence in Banten Province. The policy implications emphasize the importance of optimizing local tax and levy collection and strengthening fiscal independence to reduce the dominance of central transfers in the regional revenue structure.

Abstract

This study examines the structural associations and comparative capacity multipliers of specific renewable technologies hydropower, solar energy, and bioenergy on the total installed renewable energy capacity in four key ASEAN countries: Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand, over the 2015–2024 period. Addressing empirical gaps in the literature on energy mix diversification, this research employs a Fixed Effects Model (FEM) using panel data from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) to control for unobserved country-specific heterogeneity. To overcome the mechanical accounting identity inherent in regressing an aggregate against its components, this study interprets the estimated coefficients as infrastructural spillover effects rather than strict causal generation outputs. The findings indicate that while all three technologies are positively associated with aggregate capacity expansion, their relative structural impacts differ significantly. Bioenergy exhibits the highest capacity multiplier (1.51), highlighting its critical role in providing dispatchable grid flexibility that accommodates further renewable integration. Hydropower (1.18) serves as a stabilizing baseload anchor, while solar energy (1.05) acts as a highly elastic, near-proportional additive component. Academically, this study refines the econometric understanding of renewable energy expansion in developing economies by quantifying these specific technological synergies. Practically, the findings offer suggestive policy guidance for optimizing capacity investments and grid diversification to support a resilient energy transition toward the region's Net-Zero Emissions targets.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the relationships between financial behavior, expected future financial security, financial security, and financial well-being. Furthermore, it seeks to determine the role of financial security as a mediator in the relationship between financial behavior and financial well-being, as well as between expected future financial security and financial well-being. This quantitative research collected data through the distribution of an online questionnaire. The study was conducted on individuals from Generation Z and Millennials in Surabaya, Indonesia, who invest in banking financial products or capital market financial products. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling, with a sample size of 100 respondents who met the study's criteria. The results indicate that an individual's financial behavior can lead to improved well-being. Furthermore, financial security serves as a crucial bridge in this relationship. The sense of safety and capability formed from preparing an emergency fund, maintaining regular financial control, remaining consistent with goals, and being free from debt burdens are pivotal in achieving greater financial well-being, more so than relying on financial behavior alone. This study also found that the expectation of future financial security (expected future financial security) does not directly determine an individual's level of financial well-being. However, the findings confirm that financial security acts as a primary catalyst, mediating the relationship between expected future financial security and financial well-being.
