Abstract

Government spending on education and health is mandated and regulated by law. The increase in education and health spending makes it necessary to study the analysis of the determinants of the efficiency of education and health expenditures in the districts and cities of the province of West Nusa Tenggara during 2012–2021. The approach used is in two stages. The first efficiency score is obtained by deployment Data Analysis (DEA) analysis, and the second stage is using Tobit to analyze the determinants of efficiency in each expenditure. The results of the first stage show that the average technical efficiency score for education spending is inefficient, while the technical efficiency score for health spending is efficient. Furthermore, for the second stage, the results show that the government's ability to finance development expenditures, population density, income inequality of the population, the ratio of junior high school student teachers, and the ratio of high school student teachers affect the efficiency of spending on the education function. Furthermore, the determinants of the efficiency of health spending based on Tobit's results are population density, income inequality of the population, and the ratio of health workers affecting spending on health functions.

Abstract

The quality of community resources becomes one of the determinants of a region's poverty rate. Gross participation rates for education in rural areas are much lower compared to urban areas, particularly for higher education, resulting in higher poverty rates in rural communities than in urban communities. Different perspectives lead to different thoughts. The ability of people to own assets in urban areas are lower than in those rural areas. Based on this, the poverty rate will be higher in urban areas than in rural areas. This study aimed to analyze the real causes of micro-poverty in North Sumatra Province. The research model utilized in this study was the Cross Section Approach. Data processing revealed that a relatively larger number of household members would lead the household into poverty, urban communities had a greater chance of entering the poverty trap, male household head had the likelihood for household to escape poverty, while for employment status. ‘Business owner with permanent/paid labors indicated the greatest likelihood to reduce poverty. The government needs to pay special attention to low-income people, encouraging policies that favor the poor. Providing direct cash assistance, encouraging the investment climate so that it can absorb labor, particularly those who do not possess entrepreneurial skills. The need for gender equality in various sectors to increase women's productivity

Abstract

This research investigates the factors that impact the performance of the Indonesian mobile telecommunications sector by employing two predominant theoretical frameworks: the Harvard School (market power hypothesis) and the Chicago School (efficiency structure hypothesis). The methodology encompasses descriptive analysis to scrutinize the Structure-Conduct-Performance (SCP) model, data envelopment analysis (DEA) to assess technical and scale efficiencies, and panel data regression to determine the influences on company performance. The data derive from annual reports of mobile telecommunications entities spanning 2010 to 2022. Findings indicate the presence of market power within the industry, highlighted by the existence of five major operators and a notable concentration ratio. Further, the analysis of advertising and welfare expenses demonstrates significant investments in advertising to secure and expand market presence. Despite this, the industry exhibits low technical efficiency yet benefits from substantial scale operations. Regression outcomes suggest that company performance is predominantly driven by market power rather than efficiency, with market share significantly enhancing performance, whereas technical and scale efficiencies appear to have minimal impact. The results lend credence to the Harvard School's market power hypothesis.

Abstract

Indonesia has significant challenges in funding its energy transition, which requires around US$30 billion over the next eight years. One of the main obstacles is the low government budget and human resource competency in realizing renewable energy to achieve affordability amid rising global energy prices. Islamic financing, particularly cash waqf from Sharia-based institutions, is thought to provide a potential solution. Cash waqf, in line with Islamic principles, generates up to IDR 180 trillion per year and supports the equitable use of renewable energy, especially in transportation. This study utilizes a qualitative descriptive method, through triangulation and comparative techniques. The findings highlight the important role of cash waqf in reducing costs and increasing accessibility to renewable energy for the community. Mechanisms that include cash waqf-based subsidies and innovative financing schemes can be tailored to the transportation sector. By integrating these approaches, Indonesia can reduce reliance on conventional subsidies while promoting inclusive participation in the energy transition. This research underscores cash waqf as a transformative tool, offering a scalable and Sharia-compliant strategy to advance sustainability and equity for policymakers to leverage Islamic finance in achieving a just energy transition, and engaging the role of human capital in managing its sustainability.

Abstract

Mandalika is located on the south coast of Lombok Island, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) Province, Indonesia, and is a major tourist destination in this area.  Tourism is one of the drivers of NTB's regional economic growth.  One of the main highlights of Mandalika is hosting the MotoGP racing series. Mandalika International Street Circuit was built in this area and became one of the first MotoGP race tracks in Indo-nesia. The government has an important role in promoting and marketing Mandalika tourist destinations. Through effective promotional campaigns, participation in tour-ism fairs, and cooperation with airlines and travel agencies, the government can increase Mandalika's visibility and attractiveness at national and international levels.  However, some parties feel that the role of the government is still lacking in improving the performance of the tourism industry in the regions. This research was conducted in the Mandalikan tourist area and aims to analyze the role of the government in improving the performance of the tourism industry in the Mandalika tourist area. This study used quantitative methods. The sample in this study was 97 respondents. The results of this study found that the role of the government has improved the perfor-mance of the tourism industry in the Mandalika Area.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to identify the long-term and short-term relationships between electricity consumption and employment, human welfare, and information and communication technology. The study uses panel data from ASEAN countries, covering 2015 to 2022. The sample consists of 8 countries with complete data for each variable within the specified period. Based on the results of testing using the Vector Error Correction Model, in the long term, electricity consumption has a significant positive relationship with employment and human welfare, which is proxied by the Human Development Index and Happiness Index. On the other hand, the relationship between electricity consumption and information and communication technology (ICT), proxied by the number of mobile cellular subscriptions, shows a significant negative result. In the short term, electricity consumption does not affect employment, human welfare, or information and communication technology. These results indicate that electricity consumption does not directly impact the improvement of human welfare but influences income levels directly through increased production processes and consumption of goods and services.

Abstract

The One Price Fuel Policy is a positive step to reduce fuel price inequality throughout Indonesia. In the 6years of implementing this program (2017-2022), the BBM Distribution Business Entity has built 423distributors throughout Indonesia. The success of the One Price Fuel program is still being debated. So thisresearch wants to examine further the influence of one-price fuel on the rural economy in the 3T region ofIndonesia with a research focus on the number of small industries and economic facilities includingmarkets, supermarkets, grocery stores, food stalls, restaurants, and hotels. Researchers used a Differencein Difference (DiD) regression model with a staggered events approach and two strategies to control non-intervention factors that influenced the results. This research found that in certain case scenarios, thispolicy was implemented gradually after one year of implementation, causing a causal impact on thenumber of grocery stores and food stalls, and in other outcomes, the results could not be validated becausethe assumptions had not been met.

Abstract

Used cooking oil is a household waste that has not yet been optimally managed, potentially leading toeconomic losses and environmental pollution. This study aims to analyze the behavior of housewives inBanyumas District in utilizing used cooking oil, identify the potential for developing biodiesel from usedcooking oil, and formulate strategies and roles for relevant stakeholders to optimize used cooking oilmanagement. The methodology employed in this research is mixed-method, utilizing primary data fromsurveys and secondary data from various related studies and publications. The analysis reveals that mosthousewives in Banyumas directly dispose of used cooking oil without prior processing. Adopting a circulareconomy approach in converting used cooking oil into biodiesel can prevent pollution and provide asustainable alternative energy source. This practice can also raise public awareness about environmentalpreservation, promote responsible consumption, and create additional income and green jobs.Implementing this policy requires collaboration from various stakeholders, including the government,academics, business actors, the community, and the media

Abstract

Indonesia is an agricultural country with abundant potential for bioenergy (biodiesel, bioethanol, biomass, and biogas), with Indonesia's biofuel consumption and production expected to increase by 50 percent. This potential is one of the foundations for reducing carbon emissions by replacing fossil energy with new and renewable energy. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the government's initiative to use biogas through PLTBg. This study uses SWOT analysis through the Berlian Porter model approach with secondary data to prepare a strategic architectural framework. The research results are based on the findings in the development of financing for biogas utilization through PLTBg in the preparation and acceleration (short term), expansion (medium term), and final goal achievement (long term). The financing process uses the build, own, operate, and build-own transfer business model approach by implementing the 5C Principles integrated with ASRI principles. In order to optimize the biogas financing process, an agreement was made between the stakeholders involved to create new and renewable energy efficiency in the biogas sector through PLTBg and create a healthy business climate competition to avoid agency problems. The hope is that when this strategic architecture is used correctly, the acceleration of the transition project in the new renewable energy sector, especially biogas, through PLTBg through a funding scheme or financing for the financial services industry can be realized.

Abstract

Biodiesel is a renewable fuel with great potential to support energy transition in Indonesia. This research aims to analyze the impact of the policy of developing biodiesel on CPO prices. Time series and secondary data from January 2015 to December 2023 were used in this research with the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) method. The dependent variable was the domestic CPO prices and the independent variable were the price of CPO in the international market, biodiesel production volume, exports of CPO and its processed products, price of palm cooking oil, export levies, export duties, CPO production volume, and the Rupiah exchange rate against the United States Dollar. The results in the short run was the domestic CPO prices were influenced positively and significantly by the volume of biodiesel production, the export volume of CPO and its processed products, and the price of palm cooking oil. In the long run, domestic CPO prices were significantly and positively influenced by international CPO prices and palm cooking oil prices. At the same time, export levy, CPO production volume, and the Rupiah exchange rate are significantly and negatively influenced. These results indicate that biodiesel production impacts the prices of biodiesel raw materials and cooking oil in the short run.
