Abstract

This study examines the influence of Village Fund (DD) and Village Fund Allocation (ADD) absorption on the Village Development Index (IDM) across 81 villages in Kotawaringin Barat Regency during the 2019–2023 period. Employing a panel data regression model with a time-lag structure of one to three years, the results indicate that DD absorption significantly contributes to IDM improvement, particularly within two to three years after fund disbursement. These findings highlight the presence of a lag effect in village development driven by decentralized funding. The results underscore the importance of medium-term development planning and continuous program evaluation to enhance policy effectiveness at the village level.

Abstract

The problem of employment in Indonesia is increasingly complex with the covid-19 pandemic. One of the affected areas is East Java Province, where it was recorded that formal labor absorption fluctuated from 2020 to 2023. Meanwhile, the Labor Force Participation Rate has increased from year to year. The increase in the labor force is faster than the growth of employment opportunities so that it will cause poverty, crime, and adverse socio-economic phenomena. This study aims to determine the effect of inflation (X1), unemployment (X2), minimum wages (X3) and economic growth (X4) on labor absorption (Y). The data used includes 38 regencies / cities in East Java Province from 2020 to 2023. The research data analysis method uses panel data regression analysis. The results of the regression state that the variables of inflation, unemployment, minimum wage and economic growth simultaneously affect labor absorption. Partially, the variables of inflation, minimum wage and economic growth affect labor absorption. Meanwhile, unemployment variable partially has no effect on labor absorption.

Abstract

Income inequality could significantly affect a country’s economic development. Therefore, Reduced Inequality has become one of Sustainable Development Goals (SGDs). However, according to the Sustainable Development Report’s website Indonesia’s effort in reducing inequality is still stagnant, this is supported by Indonesia Central Agency of Statistic (BPS) which shows Indonesia’s Gini Ratio is stagnant at 0.38 from 2018 to 2023. Simon Kuznets theorized that income inequality could be the consequence of economic growth that was triggered by the change in the economic sector from traditional to modern. The goal of this research is to analyze the effect of economic structural change, economic growth, and average school duration on income inequality in rural, urban, and all of Indonesia from the implementation of SGDs in 2015 to 2023 using panel data regression in 34 provinces in Indonesia. This research found that agriculture, industry and service sector growth, and mean years of schooling significantly affected income inequality in rural areas, but agriculture sector growth and economic growth sector did not significantly affect income inequality in rural areas.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the impact of GDP, interest rates, credit, LDR, ROA, restructuring policies, and the Covid-19 pandemic on NPL of KBMI IV banks in Indonesia during the periods before and after the implementation of credit restructuring policies. This study employs the Error Correction Model (ECM) method based on quarterly secondary data from Q1 2017 to Q4 2023. The results show that in the long term, GDP, LDR, ROA, and credit restructuring policies have a significant effect on NPL, while interest rates and the pandemic do not have a significant impact. In the short term, only LDR and ROA are proven to significantly affect NPL. These findings highlight the importance of internal banking policies and macroeconomic conditions in maintaining credit quality and the stability of the banking system, especially pandemic.

Abstract

The implementation of the ‘No Poverty’ SDGs in Papua faces many challenges. In 2022, Papua recorded the highest percentage of poor people in Indonesia (26.8%), while recording the second highest GRDP growth nationally (14.8%). Although capital accumulation continues to increase, high economic growth has not been in line with poverty reduction. This study aims to analyze the effect of special autonomy funds, capital expenditure, investment, and population growth on economic growth and poverty in Papua with panel data of 29 districts/cities for the period 2017-2022 using SmartPLS 4. The results show that special autonomy funds increase economic growth and can reduce poverty through targeted labor-intensive programs. Capital expenditure have no significant effect on economic growth or poverty. Investment have no significant effect on economic growth and increase the poverty. Population growth has a negative impact on economic growth but reduces poverty through the informal sector. Economic growth itself has no effect on poverty because it is too dependent on the mining sector. In addition, there is no effect of economic growth as an intervening variable, indicating that the fiscal role in creating sustainable development in Papua has not been optimized. These findings can be used to determine policies for efficiency and targeting accuracy in allocating funds and the need for inclusive economic growth to reduce poverty in Papua.

Abstract

Indonesia has recorded a relatively stagnant happiness index year after year and tends to lag behind other Southeast Asian countries, despite improvements in various development parameters such as per capita income, Human Development Index (HDI), Environmental Quality Index (EQI), and Open Unemployment Rate (OUR). This study analyzes the effect of per capita income, human resource quality, environmental quality, and unemployment on happiness in Indonesia using panel data and the Two-Stage Least Squares (2SLS) estimation method with the Fixed Effects model. The results show that human resource quality and environmental quality positively affect per capita income, while unemployment has a negative effect. Furthermore, per capita income has a positive and significant effect on happiness. This study emphasizes the importance of policies focusing on improving access to education, healthcare quality, environmental quality, and job creation to enhance the well-being and happiness of the population sustainably.

Abstract

This study aims to assess the impact of demographic and socio-economic factors on the volume of waste generated in districts/cities in East Java during the 2019-2023 period. The analysis was conducted by considering the population variable as a demographic factor, as well as the average level of education and Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) per capita as socio-economic factors. Waste is one of the main challenges in environmental management, where suboptimal handling can have adverse effects on health, ecosystems, and the economy. This study aims to analyze how socio-economic and demographic factors affect the amount of solid waste generated by the community and also as a basis for the use of variables that can be used for a more effective and efficient predictive model of future waste generation. This study applies the panel data regression statistical method to evaluate the relationship between demographic and socio-economic aspects and the amount of waste, while illustrating the impact of economic activity and social conditions on the environment. The results show that population as a demographic element, as well as education level and GRDP per capita as socio-economic indicators, have a significant positive influence on the amount of waste generated by the community. The results of this study can support policy implications in encouraging new strategies to reduce waste generation and integrate environmental governance.

Abstract

The use of reusable bags has been proven to reduce the volume of single-use plastic waste (SUPB). This study analyzes the Willingness to Pay (WTP) and the factors that affect WTP for the use of reusable bags when going shopping at Chatime Soehat Corner, Malang City. The research methods used are descriptive analysis, Contingent Valuation Method (CVM), and binary logistic regression, with data collection was done by distributing questionnaires. The results of the descriptive analysis show that the majority of respondents are female, aged 20–30, with an income of less than Rp 1,500,000, and are unemployed. The WTP values obtained through CVM analysis revealed that the majority of respondents chose Rp 2,000 as the maximum price, with an average resulting in Rp 3,935. In other words, the factors significantly affecting WTP are price perception and consumer lifestyle, while income and knowledge do not have a significant effect. The implications of this study reveal consumers' willingness to pay more for reusable bags, which can be utilized by the government and business actors to support sustainable industries. By implementing reusable bags as a replacement for Single-Use Plastic Bags (SUPB), this policy can lead to a reduction in plastic waste.

Abstract

The property and real estate sector in Indonesia is highly capital-intensive and vulnerable to financial instability, making the early identification of financial distress crucial for corporate sustainability. This study aims to analyze the effect of profitability (ROA), liquidity (CR), leverage (DER), free cash flow (FCF), and firm size (Total Assets) on the level of financial distress in property and real estate companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2018–2024 period. The research employs a quantitative approach using panel data regression with the Random Effect Model (REM) and robust standard errors, based on a sample of 17 companies over seven years. The analysis uses a modified Z-Score formula as an indicator of financial distress. The findings reveal that CR and FCF have a positive and significant effect on the Z-Score, indicating stronger financial resilience, while DER and firm size significantly reduce the Z-Score, suggesting a higher risk of financial distress. ROA does not show a statistically significant influence. These results highlight the critical role of liquidity and free cash flow in maintaining financial health, while excessive leverage and scale can amplify financial risk. The study implies that firms must strengthen their asset management and capital structure to mitigate distress and enhance long-term viability.
