Abstract

company's financial position is crucial to analyze, particularly for stakeholders. A company’s financial condition and structure can be reflected through two key components in its financial statements: total assets and total liabilities. This study examines how these two variables affect net income, by transforming all data into natural logarithmic form. The data was obtained from eight trading companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX), for the period 2021-2024. Multiple linear regression was used to assess the influence of log total assets and log total liabilities on log net income. The results suggest that, within the observed sample, both variables significantly affect log net income. However, when examined individually, only log total liabilities have a significant effect on log net income, while log total assets show no significant effect. These findings indicate that a firm's financing structure through liabilities plays an important role in influencing net income, more so than the size of its assets.

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between global food prices, inflation, exchange rates, and economic growth in Indonesia within the framework of short-term and long-term adjustments. In the midst of increasing volatility in world food prices due to global supply chain disruptions, climate change, and geopolitical tensions, understanding the mechanism of global food price transmission to domestic macroeconomic stability is becoming increasingly important, especially for developing countries that are dependent on food imports such as Indonesia. This study uses monthly time series data for the period 2020–2025 which includes the global food price index, inflation, the exchange rate of the rupiah against the United States dollar, and real gross domestic product. The Error Correction Model (ECM) approach is used to analyze the dynamics of the relationship between variables by considering short-term adjustments as well as long-term equilibrium. Prior to estimation, stationarity tests were performed using the Augmented Dickey–Fuller (ADF) method and cointegration tests to ensure the validity of model specifications. The use of ECM allows the identification of error correction mechanisms when deviations from the long-term equilibrium occur due to external shocks, such as fluctuations in global food prices. This research is expected to make an empirical contribution to the macroeconomic literature, especially related to inflation and global price transmission in developing countries. In addition, the findings of this study are expected to be a reference for the formulation of food price stabilization policies, import dependence management, and strengthening monetary and fiscal policy coordination in maintaining inflation stability and Indonesia's economic growth amid global uncertainty.

Abstract

The green transition is considered Indonesia's development agenda in facing the environmental crisis, and at the same time, encouraging the performance of sustainable growth in the economy. Among the main tools of this transition is the creation of jobs that are expected to be able to provide decent work. Nonetheless, it can be seen that the creation of new jobs in Indonesia faces different structural barriers that limit this transition process. This study, by this thesis, seeks to interpret how new jobs perform during the transition to green. This research adopts a descriptive method that uses a qualitative approach using secondary data obtained from government documents, global organization reports, and scientific literature. This study will use the process of reduction, categorization, and interpretation of the data obtained. The findings of the study show that the potential for green jobs in the fields of renewable energy, waste management, and sustainable agriculture has not been fully utilized due to low skills in green jobs, fragmentation of labor regulations, and concentration of green investment in certain areas. The findings of this study confirm that without integrated policymaking, the green transition can exacerbate structural inequalities. The importance of this paper focuses on the role of the just transition approach in the formulation of green work policies in Indonesia.

Abstract

Youth unemployment is a challenge for many developing countries, including Tanzania. The article discusses the status of youth employment in Tanzania and articulates the causes and strategies to address it. The article examines how microfinance, agricultural engagement, and youth policies address youth unemployment by improving livelihoods, empowering youth, and alleviating poverty. The study used 81 articles retrieved from Scopus (16) and Google Scholar (65). The findings revealed that strategies to address youth unemployment in Tanzania, such as entrepreneurship training programmes, youth policies, and the establishment of youth employment projects, including agricultural activities, have not been sufficient to overcome these challenges. The findings further indicate that scholars have documented microfinance's contributions to youth employment, poverty alleviation, and livelihood improvement. The findings reveal that microfinance has contributed positively to overcoming youth unemployment. However, the findings indicate that the challenge of loan repayment is a barrier to the sustainability of microfinance. The study recommends that policymakers implement policies that promote youth employment by linking income-generating activities to microfinance services and enforcing loan repayment among youth in Tanzania.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of online shopping has reshaped consumer behavior; however, offline shopping remains preferred under certain conditions. This study examines satisfaction dimension gaps between online and offline shopping among university students using a repeated binary measures design. Data were collected through a questionnaire containing eight satisfaction indicators measured on a dichotomous scale (yes/no) from 26 respondents. Cochran’s Q test was applied to assess whether satisfaction proportions differ across dimensions, followed by McNemar’s test as an exploratory post-hoc procedure to provide diagnostic insights into the largest dimension gaps. The findings reveal meaningful variation across satisfaction dimensions. Online shopping demonstrates stronger satisfaction in convenience and payment security, while offline shopping shows higher satisfaction in product trial experience and perceived product assurance. Nevertheless, offline shopping exhibits comparatively lower satisfaction in service-related dimensions, indicating a potential weakness in interpersonal service delivery. These results confirm that consumer satisfaction is multidimensional and that satisfaction gaps across shopping channels are not uniform. The study offers practical insights for businesses to formulate channel-specific strategies to improve service quality and customer experience in both online and offline retail environments.
