<![CDATA[This study investigates the impact of sustainable financial practices on firm value within emerging economies. Given the growing emphasis on sustainability in global finance, understanding how these practices influence corporate performance is critical. A comprehensive literature review is conducted, examining existing studies on sustainable finance, firm value, and the economic context of emerging markets. The findings suggest that sustainable financial practices, such as responsible investing and green financing, have a positive correlation with firm value. However, the degree of impact varies depending on the maturity of the financial markets and the regulatory environment in these economies. The review also highlights gaps in the literature, particularly concerning the long-term effects of sustainability initiatives on firm value. This study contributes to the ongoing discourse by providing a nuanced understanding of how sustainable financial practices can enhance firm value in emerging economies. The implications for policymakers and business leaders are discussed, emphasizing the need for supportive regulatory frameworks to foster sustainable financial practices.]]>

<![CDATA[This study aims to evaluate the advertising rental value policy in South Tangerang City using six policy evaluation variables proposed by William N. Dunn, namely effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, equity, responsiveness, and accuracy. This study uses qualitative-descriptive research. This research will be conducted at the Regional Revenue Agency (Bapenda) Office of South Tangerang City. This study consists of Primary Data through in-depth interview methods with stakeholders who have the authority to rent advertising and civil servants at Bapenda who are actively involved in the focus of the research study and Secondary Data obtained from external documents as secondary data. The results of this study indicate that this policy has been running quite well, although there are still obstacles in terms of supervision and socialization to the community. Suboptimal supervision has resulted in many illegal advertisements that have not been registered or have had their broadcast period extended. Public understanding of licensing procedures and tax obligations is still lacking, thus potentially reducing the optimization of regional tax revenues.]]>
