Abstract

A new perspective on regional economic development is development capital generated from the region. MSMEs and Higher Education as development capital of the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY) have different characteristics. Development is recognized as a process in which interrelationships and effects between the variables lead to regional development. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the effect of regional development capital on regional development. This study aims to examine the use of PLS-SEM in designing a model of the relationship between technological innovation, capital, and workforce on regional development. This current study also aims to observe the effect of latent predictor variables (Xi) of technology, innovation, capital, and workforce on LPE, HDI, and poverty rate as the latent dependent variable of regional development (Yi). Regional development capital has a positive effect on LPE. Technology has a positive and significant effect on innovation by 92.6%. Innovation Technology positively affects Economic Growth by 14.44% but is not significant. Though it is not significant, regional capital proxied by MSMEs positively affects economic growth. The workforce has a negative and insignificant effect on the economic growth of -28.3%. LPE and HDI have a negative effect on the poverty rate, although not significant at -6.8% and -13.3%, respectively. LPE and HDI play a role in reducing poverty. However, they perform on different paths. Workforce productivity is still low. Thus, it has not been able to boost economic growth and reduce poverty. These results are expected to be utilized as a basis for developing strategies for technology utilization by MSMEs

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of Indonesia's GDP per capita, GDP per capita destination country, real exchange rate, the population of the destination country, the distance between Indonesia and the country's objectives, and the variable of the Domestic Market Obligation (DMO) dummy for Indonesia's coal exports by using the gravity model. This study uses panel model regression with a research period of 2012-2022. The study results show that Indonesia's GDP per capita variable significantly negatively affects exports of Indonesian coal. GDP per capita of the destination country, the population of the destination country, the real exchange rate, and dummy DMO significantly positively affect Indonesia's coal exports. Whereas distance has no significant impact on Indonesia's coal exports

Abstract

Sweet corn (Zea mays L. saccharata), also known as sugar corn or sweet maize, is a popular multi-purpose cereal crop of the family Poaceae (Muhumed et al., 2014). The crop is the second most important crop in Asia after rice. China remains as the largest producer with a production of 260 million MT in 2019. In Malaysia, the crop area is estimated 10 thousand ha with production yield of 73 thousand MT. Purple variety that rich with anthocyanin content is classified as sweet corn that relatively new in local market. The cultivation of purple corn is not encouraging as Malaysian Department of Agriculture (DOA) recorded only eight farmers throughout Malaysia with a total area of 17.7 ha. Considering this variety is new and less accessible, this study evaluates consumers’ Willingness to Pay (WTP) in Malaysia towards purple corn. Data was collected through online platforms using structured questionnaires. The total of 431 responses were received in one month. The discrete choice experiment (DCE) is used to measure consumer WTP and the results showed that anthocyanin content and sweetness of purple corn are positive and significant at the level of 1%. This indicated that the higher the anthocyanin content and corn sweetness, the higher the level of consumer utility would be. Consumers are willing to pay for higher prices than the lowest market price if the purple corn variety satisfies both value-added anthocyanin and sweetness attributes.

Abstract

This study aims to examine how the Kendari Bay’s coastal fishermen survive during the Covid-19 pandemic, especially from an economic perspective. However, the Covid-19 pandemic that occurred in the last three years has been able to shake the economy in several levels of society, including small-scale fishermen. The object of this research is 50 small-scale fishermen on the coast of Kendari Bay with data collection methods using surveys and interviews. Data analysis was carried out to reveal the characteristics of small-scale fishermen on the coast of Kendari Bay, to examine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on fishermen's income, and the constraints faced by fishermen from an economic perspective. The results show that small-scale fishermen averagely work as fishermen from a young age, as a form of inheritance from their parents and cannot complete basic compulsory education. Surprisingly, the Covid-19 pandemic does not have much impact on fishermen's income because the biggest impact comes from weather factors and the high cost of boat fuel. One of many issues that the fishermen need to deal is the difficulty on accessing capital and financial to start a business. This is happening due to limited information for these fishermen. The novelty of this research is in the study of the impact of the pandemic which is associated with access to public finance.

Abstract

The change in population structure in Indonesia shows an increase in the young population. As an indicator to see youth's activeness in education and work, NEET has become one of the centers of attention for the government. The number of NEETs in West Kalimantan has increased over the past five years. It indicates that young people who do not work or attend school have not integrated into the labor market. This study investigates the characteristics and factors influencing NEET youth in West Kalimantan. The descriptive and inferential statistical method with a binary logistic regression model is the analytical approach taken in this study. This research use BPS data from the National Labor Force Survey (Sakernas) in August 2021, with a sample of 4,750 young people spread over 14 districts/cities of West Kalimantan Province. The study's findings stated that most NEET youth in West Kalimantan were female, with the highest proportion of women aged 20-24. In addition, NEET youth in West Kalimantan were unmarried youth. Gender, age, completed education, marital status, education of the Head of the Household, and significant disability status are the determinants that determine whether a person is more at risk of becoming a NEET in West Kalimantan in 2021, according to the determinant findings of this study. Some of the recommendations from this study are the suitability of the educational curriculum with the availability of employment, equitable distribution of educational facilities, and information convenience. Furthermore, we need skill training for the younger generation, especially for the disabled, so they can advance their home areas so that they can advance in their place of origin.

Abstract

The human development index (HDI) in 2019 showed that Indonesia is ranked 111 out of 189 countries. The slowdown in Indonesia's HDI rate is because the poverty rate in Indonesia is still relatively high. Resolutions are needed to change the character of a consumptive society into a productive society through zakat funds that can be utilized for productive efforts in capital, facilities, and infrastructure procurement. This study aims to identify the management and role of zakat funds in economic development. This current study is qualitative in the form of field research. The primary data from the first source and recipients of zakat funds were obtained through direct and in-depth interviews and supporting data from institutions. This study employs Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) as a method. The results revealed three priorities for using zakat funds used by beneficiaries from LAZISMU DIY: 1) opening business fields, 2) increasing access to education services, and 3) increasing access to health services.

Abstract

This study aims to find the correlation between goal 8 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the economic growth of countries in Asia. This study uses the research method applied in this study, the Systematic Literature Review (SLR), which operates about 600 articles of scientific data sourced from the Scopus database in this review, using the Vosviewer application. The research results reveal many essential points in economic growth in achieving the goals of SDG 8. Since there are still many differences in development that support economic growth, the findings of this study are beneficial to a nation, particularly developing countries in Asia that are still lagging in their economies. With the implementation of the SDGs, the expectation is that the Asian countries are still languishing in infrastructure development as support for the product would realize, and economic growth would be distributed. SDG goal 8, "Economic Growth and Jobs Worth it," emphasizes growth in a more inclusive and sustainable economy, in addition to more productive and full employment opportunities and decent work for all. In addition, population growth is also a factor that has an essential role in achieving the expected economic growth, population density in a country will later impact the country's economy if the government takes no action to deal with this.
