Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to explore the role of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) and entrepreneurship in reducing poverty by providing employment opportunities and supporting economic growth. Methods: The research employed a qualitative approach to analyze the contribution of MSMEs and entrepreneurial activities in job creation and poverty alleviation. Results: Findings from the Ministry of Cooperatives and MSMEs of Indonesia in 2020 showed that the MSME sector contributed approximately 97% of total non-agricultural employment in Indonesia. MSMEs and entrepreneurial ventures often serve as the primary source of employment in many countries because of their ability to adapt quickly to market changes and consumer needs compared to large companies. Conclusions: The development and support of MSMEs and entrepreneurship can significantly improve the economy and reduce poverty. The increasing number of small and medium enterprises provides job opportunities for people who may find it difficult to obtain employment in the formal sector. Originality/value: This study highlights the novelty of linking MSMEs’ growth directly to poverty reduction, showing how their role in job creation supports vulnerable groups beyond their conventional economic function.

Abstract

Purpose: This study analyzes the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on poverty levels in Indonesia by examining positive Covid-19 cases, life expectancy, income inequality, and GRDP per capita across 34 provinces in 2020. Methods: A quantitative approach with multiple regression analysis was applied using provincial-level data. Independent variables included positive Covid-19 cases, life expectancy, Gini Ratio, and GRDP per capita, with poverty as the dependent variable. Results: The findings show that positive Covid-19 cases significantly increase poverty, where each additional case raises the number of poor people by 0.0087. Life expectancy also has a positive effect, with every additional year increasing poverty by 130.11932. Income inequality worsens poverty, as a 1% increase in the Gini Ratio adds 533.7175 poor individuals. In contrast, GRDP per capita reduces poverty, with every Rp. 1000 increase lowering the number of poor people by 0.0234. Conclusions: The pandemic exacerbates poverty through health and inequality factors, while economic growth helps alleviate it. Policies should focus on controlling Covid-19, reducing inequality, and fostering inclusive growth. Originality/value: This study uniquely integrates health and economic variables in one model to explain poverty dynamics during a pandemic crisis in Indonesia.

Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine and analyze the influence of Good Corporate Governance (GCG) and Sustainable Economic Growth (SGR) on the financial performance of family businesses in Indonesia. The research aims to understand how governance quality and sustainability-oriented growth contribute to improving profitability and long-term performance within family-owned enterprises. Methods: This study employs a quantitative research approach using multiple linear regression analysis. The data were collected from 65 family businesses listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2018–2023 period. Results: The analysis reveals that GCG has a positive and significant effect on financial performance, demonstrating that effective governance enhances company efficiency and profitability. Similarly, SGR also significantly influences financial performance, suggesting that sustainable economic practices-integrating social and environmental considerations-contribute to long-term business success. Together, GCG and SGR explain 50.7% of the variation in the financial performance of family businesses, indicating a strong combined influence of governance and sustainability factors. Conclusions: The findings emphasize the importance of implementing Good Corporate Governance and sustainability-oriented growth strategies in family businesses to ensure both financial success and long-term viability. Originality/value: This study provides new empirical evidence on the dual role of GCG and sustainable economic growth in shaping the financial performance of family businesses in Indonesia-a sector that plays a central role in national economic development. The research contributes to the literature by combining governance and sustainability perspectives, offering insights for business owners, investors, and policymakers in promoting responsible and sustainable family business management.

Abstract

International trade is trade carried out by residents of a country with residents of other countries on the basis of a mutual agreement. One of the things that determines a country's economic growth is international trade which includes export-import activities. One advantage of international trade is that it allows a country to specialize in producing goods and services at low prices. This study aims to determine the effect of international trade on Indonesia's economic growth. The research method used to solve this problem is a quantitative method using multiple regression analysis and the classic assumption test from secondary data sourced from North Sumatra Economic Data (2001-2020). The results of this study are 1. Partially, imports have a significant positive effect on growth. Economics with the acquisition of a Prob. value of 0.0002 < apha 0.05 so that ha is fulfilled or ho is rejected and for the positive direction it is proven by the Coeffcient which is negative (1.216780). 2. Partially, exports have a negative but not significant effect on economic growth due to the acquisition of a Prob.0.2268> alpha 0.05 value so that ho is fulfilled or ha is rejected and for a negative direction it is proven by a negative Coefficient. (-0.448407) 3. Simultaneously Export and Import have a significant effect on Economic Growth with the acquisition of a Prob (F-Statistic) value of 0.00000 <0.05 meaning that the two variables significantly influence Economic Growth so that ha is fulfilled or ho is rejected 4. The Adjusted R-Square is 0.89, which means that much the two independent variables affect the dependent variable, namely GRDP, which means that there are still other models that affect the dependent variable.

Abstract

Purpose: This research focuses on understanding the extent to which the presence of foreign directors and those of Chinese ethnicity in Indonesian companies particularly in the oil, gas and coal sub-sectors influences company value. The focus is on companies listed on the Indonesia stock exchange between 2021 and 2023. Methods: The analysis uses a panel data regression model with data processing conducted through EViews 13 software. Results: The study finds that, collectively, the presence of foreign and meanwhile directors of Chinese ethnicity actually show the opposite impact namely negative impact on company value. When tested individually foreign directors show a positive impact whereas Chinese ethnic directors exhibit a negative influence on firm value. Conclusions: These findings emphasize the crucial role of board diversity in shaping firm value and highlight its importance as a strategic benchmark for future corporate growth. Value/Originality: This study offers new insights into how diversity within boards can impact firm value by highlighting the roles played by directors from both foreign and chinese backgrounds. The results broaden the discussion in corporate governance literature, showing that diverse director backgrounds can provide strategic advantages for Indonesian companies.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze market efficiency and the transmission of micro-volatility between the Jakarta Composite Index (IHSG) and the Jakarta Islamic Index (JII) using high-frequency data from September 22 to October 20, 2025. The primary objective is to evaluate the volatility of returns, co-movement, microstructure volatility clustering, and the buffering effect of Sharia-compliant indices. Methods: The study uses logarithmic continuous returns to assess return volatility and co-movement. Descriptive statistics are employed to examine market fluctuations, while the volatility clustering effect and rapid shock transmission between the two indices are analyzed. Pre-test and post-test evaluations, along with observational analysis, are used to examine the relationship and behavior of these indices during the study period. Results: The findings reveal that both IHSG and JII exhibit significant short-term fluctuations, indicative of typical micro-volatility in emerging markets. However, JII shows relatively lower volatility and fewer extreme negative returns, suggesting that Sharia screening provides a stabilizing effect on the market. The study also identifies a strong co-movement between the two indices, highlighting high short-term integration despite brief divergences due to differences in index structure and liquidity profiles. Additionally, the analysis confirms volatility clustering, with calm periods followed by sharp movements, and rapid shock transmission between the indices.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examines how taxpayer awareness and tax sanctions affect tax compliance among MSMEs in Medan City, addressing variability in compliance driven by internal knowledge and external enforcement. Methods: A quantitative explanatory design using multiple linear regression was applied. Data were gathered from MSMEs operating at least one year via validated questionnaires, supplemented by brief interviews and secondary sources. Independent variables include taxpayer awareness, perceived sanctions, tax knowledge, and business size (log omzet). Regression diagnostics (VIF, normality, heteroskedasticity) and robust standard errors ensured model validity. Results: Results indicate taxpayer awareness has the strongest positive and statistically significant effect on compliance. Perceived tax sanctions also positively influence compliance but with smaller magnitude. Tax knowledge and business size contribute significantly as well. The model explains about 56% of variance in compliance (R² ≈ 0.56). Diagnostic checks show no major violations that would undermine inference, though researchers are advised to monitor multicollinearity and condition number in future studies. Conclusions: Improving MSME tax compliance in Medan requires integrated strategies that combine practical tax education and simplified administration with proportional, consistent enforcement. Awareness-building appears most effective for sustainable compliance gains. Originality/value: The study provides recent empirical evidence from Medan MSMEs using a validated regression framework, highlighting the relative importance of awareness, sanctions, and knowledge in shaping compliance and offering actionable guidance for local tax authorities.
