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.

Abstract

Poverty is still the main problem in development both at the national and regional levels. The poverty reduction program carried out has not paid attention to spatial aspects so that the policies taken are often not on target. This study aims to see the spatial pattern of poverty in Java Island which includes Banten, DKI Jakarta, West Java, Central Java, DI Yogyakarta and East Java. The method used is geographically weighted regression (GWR) with addiptive weighting of the Gaussian Kernel which is processed with QGIS, Geoda and GWR4 software. This approach can identify spatial patterns that cannot be identified in ordinary regression analysis as found in previous studies. The data used in this study is secondary data in 2020 sourced from the Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS) and government website. The results of the study showed positive and group spatial autocorrelation in 34 districts/cities. There are 65 districts/cities in Java Island only affected by HDI, 4 districts/cities affected by TPT and HDI, 47 districts/cities affected by MSEs and HDI, and 3 districts/cities affected by TPT, UMK and HDI.  The government can improve the quality of education, the level of public health services, and provide job training to reduce poverty.

Abstract

The digital ecosystem is a collection of integrated information technologies and entities. The development of the digital ecosystem in Indonesia has shown a positive trend and has significant impacts on the national economy. The penetration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has brought positive effects such as increased accessibility, business growth, and digital economic transformation. To assess the progress of this technology, the Solow-Swan approach is employed. This research aims to examine how investment, labor force, and technology, represented by the level of mobile phone usage and Base Transceiver Station (BTS) infrastructure, can influence the economy through Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) in the 34 provinces of Indonesia. This paper aims to examine how investment, labor, and technology can affect the economy through the GRDP in 34 provinces in Indonesia. The data used is panel data from 2018 to 2021 for 34 provinces in Indonesia. The research results show that investment and technological progress have a significant positive impact. On the other hand, the labor force has no effect on the economy in 34 provinces in Indonesia. Overall, this research has not been able to validate the Solow-Swan theory in the context of 34 provinces in Indonesia for the 2018-2021 period.
