Abstract

Fluctuations in the balance of payments are a reflection of the instability of the exchange rate; crisis factors also greatly affect the deficit or surplus in the balance of payments. If the exchange rate depreciates, a country will increase exports because domestic prices are relatively cheaper than foreign prices so that it is one of the competitive forces to increase exports, and vice versa if a country experiences appreciation, the country will increase imports. This study aims to analyze and compare whether there is a causal relationship between the balance of payments and currency exchange rates in ASEAN countries. This study uses the Granger Causality Test method, therefore the data of this study is in the form of a time series, namely the years 2005-2019. Only Myanmar and the Philippines have the exchange rate and balance of payments variables which have a causal relationship. This is in line with the curve in the introduction where the exchange rates of the two countries are relatively higher than those of Indonesia and Vietnam, which reach tens to tens of thousands of rupiah. This means that no matter how low the exchange rate (depreciation) is, there is no or little possibility for the countries of Indonesia and Vietnam to export, which reduces the current account, which is part of the balance of payments)

Abstract

Evidently, the quantum of the general and sectoral impacts of growing trends of Ghana- Nigeria bilateral trade has been a phenomenon of mixed feelings. To some analysts the relationship has been positive, to others it is challenging. The purpose of this research therefore, tries to evaluate the influencing factors of Nigeria-Ghana trade in merchandize products through the gravity model of trade from 2008-2019. The results showed that the real exchange rate had a small but significant positive impact on the bilateral trade between Ghana and Nigeria, but more importantly, it had a positive impact on the Nigerian economy. The study again discovered a positive correlation between the size of the economy between Ghana and Nigeria and the flow of bilateral trade. This shows that trade improves as the GDP between these two countries increases or decreases. The market size or population of both countries exhibited a strong positive impact on trade flows and this is consistent with the theoretical foundation. The study is unique because it is the first to exclusively study and empirically investigate the trend of Nigeria-Ghana bilateral trade relation through the Newtonian gravity model.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic is a multidimensional crisis that started from a health crisis that eventually caused a global crisis to a global recession. Various efforts have been made by the government to prevent the spread of the Covid-19 virus, including by limiting community activities, which have an effect on decreasing people's income. The purpose of this study is to the factors that influence the increase in the number of poor people in 35 districts/cities in Central Java due to the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, using multiple regression analysis. The results showed that the variables depicting the number of covid cases, life expectancy, economic growth, and hotel room occupancy rate significantly affected the number of poor people. While partially the four variables simultaneously also significantly affect the number of poor people.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of independent variables such as exports, imports, and economic growth on the dependent variable in the form of the exchange rate by using the variable of state governance as a moderating variable. The data used is panel data The population of this study is a Southeast Asian country. The sampling technique in this study was taken using purposive sampling. Data analysis in this study used the Chow, Housman, and MRA test analysis methods using Stata13 software. The results are based on the best Random Effect Model (REM) model, that is, there is no significant effect of exports and imports on the exchange rate Meanwhile, economic growth, and state governments have a significant effect on the exchange rate based. However, based on the MRA test, the variable of state governance strengthens the relationship between these three variables (exports, imports, and economic growth) on the exchange rate.

Abstract

  SMEs became the leading sector contribute to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in Indonesia. The role of SMEs not only can give positive impact encourage potential development sectors. This paper is to investigate the relationship between the characteristics of regional specialization and labor productivity of small enterprises in the Food industry using the regency or city level data of South Sumatra from 2008-2018. The study used secondary data from the Department of Trade and Industry of South Sumatra for 17 regencies/cities in South Sumatra. Our study proceeds in two steps. First, we used Location Quotient (LQ) to identify the regional specialization. Second, we measured the impact of regional specialization on labor productivity including other regional variables; investment, a total of enterprises, size of employment, Gross Domestic Product Regional (GRDP), and Gross Enrolment Rate based on the panel data of regencies or cities. In the first step, we found that eight regencies specialized in the Food industry. Those typically concentrated near of big city where few enterprises dominate. Next, the LQ, investment, average size of employment, GRDP, and a total of enterprises have a significant effect on labor productivity while the education variable does not influence regional economic growth.  According to this result, it should be cautioned that agglomeration may cause undesirable competition for raw materials leading to a detrimental result. This strongly suggests that to fully achieve labor productivity in South Sumatra, there is a need for the implementation of appropriate policy measure to overcome this issue.

Abstract

Changes in the quality of the environment at this time until the next few years need to be considered. Changes in the quality of the environment are caused by the various activities of the economy that do humans. This change in environmental quality is represented by the variable emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) gas. This research aims to analyze the effect of the growth of the economy, city population, and the import and export of technology high on the emissions of gas carbon dioxide (CO2) in the five countries of ASEAN (Indonesia, Myanmar, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam) during 2011-2018. This study uses panel data (time series and cross-section). In using the method of regression of panel data is performed by Chow test and Hausman test, and elected, namely the fixed effect model. Furthermore, the classical assumption test was carried out on the selected model, including the normality test, multicollinearity test, heteroscedasticity test, and autocorrelation test. Results of the study are to prove that the only variable city population affects positively and significantly emissions of gas carbon dioxide (CO2). While variable independent more like a growth economy, import and export of high technology do not affect significantly emissions of gas carbon dioxide (CO2).
