Abstract

Analysis of the level of economic growth through a literature study of graphs of export and import values aims to find out whether movements in export and import graphs have an influence and are relevant to the level of economic growth in Indonesia. The time period used in the research was 10 years, namely from 2010 to 2020. The method for collecting data used secondary methods by obtaining data through the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) and journal literature or previous research. Data analysis is explained descriptively through each graphic sample, namely; 1) Economic Growth Rate, 2) Indonesian Export Value 3) Indonesian Import Value. This research produces explanations in the form of; 1) Indonesia's economic growth rate experiences fluctuations which tend to decrease. 2) The level of Indonesian export value experiences fluctuations which tends to decrease. 3) Indonesia's import level experiences increasing fluctuations which leads to the conclusion that state spending is greater. Researchers suggest that the government as the party with the authority be able to make policies to maximize state income through exports and minimize imports of foreign goods.

Abstract

This study aims to determine how big the contribution of advertising tax is to local revenue in the city of Makassar. The type of research used in this research is to use a qualitative approach in which the research is descriptive in nature. The data used in this study is quantitative, namely target data and realization of advertisement tax in 2013-2023 as well as primary data, namely data taken from interviews. The results of this study with descriptive analysis show that advertisement tax revenue in Makassar City is still not optimal. This can be seen from the contribution of advertisement tax to Regional Original Income in 2013-2023 which averaged only 2.72% or according to very low criteria, which was caused by a lack of public awareness in paying taxes and the Makassar mayor's regulation regarding the installation of advertisements that are no longer allowed to be carried out on national roads so as to reduce advertisement tax revenue

Abstract

North Sumatra, a province abundant in economic potential and natural resources, still grapples with severe poverty. This phenomenon of poverty is not influenced by a single factor but by a multitude of interrelated economic variables. In this study, data collection is carried out secondarily, utilizing up-to-date data from the Central Bureau of Statistics. The research method employed is descriptive quantitative. From the analysis, it is evident that the R Square value stands at 0.991. This indicates that the variables of Income per Capita (X1), Human Development Index (X2), and Unemployment Rate (X3) collectively influence the Poverty Level (Y) by 99.1%. The decision-making process can be informed by the time span of the data or the specific areas from which the data is derived. Despite North Sumatra’s rich resources, poverty remains a significant issue, underlining the complexity and interplay of various economic factors. The high R Square value suggests a strong correlation between income, human development, and employment levels in determining poverty. This comprehensive understanding emphasizes the necessity for targeted policies that address these interlinked factors to effectively combat poverty in the region. By analyzing secondary data from credible sources, the study highlights the importance of a multifaceted approach in addressing poverty. The insights derived from the data can guide policymakers in formulating strategies that not only boost economic growth but also ensure equitable development, thereby reducing poverty levels. The findings underscore the critical need for continuous monitoring and analysis of these economic variables to foster sustainable development in North Sumatra.

Abstract

The Human Development Index (HDI) is a crucial metric for assessing the quality of life and welfare in a region. However, Sub-Saharan African countries continue to encounter challenges in improving their HDI. This research aims to analyze the effects of economic growth, population growth, the Corruption Perception Index, and unemployment rates on HDI across 43 Sub-Saharan African nations from 2018 to 2022. The analytical approach employed includes panel data regression with Pooled Least Square (PLS), Fixed Effect Model (FEM), and Random Effect Model (REM). The Chow test and Hausman test are utilized to identify the most suitable estimation model. The findings indicate that the Fixed Effect Model (FEM) is the most appropriate model, demonstrating the significant impact of population growth and the Corruption Perception Index on HDI in these countries. Conversely, economic growth and unemployment rates do not show a significant influence. Among the 43 Sub-Saharan African nations, Mauritius stands out with the highest HDI, while Niger has the lowest.

By identifying and understanding the unique factors that drive consumer interest and engagement, this study seeks to provide valuable insights for businesses looking to innovate and grow in a competitive market. The study employs a qualitative approach, utilizing descriptive methods to gather and present data based on observations and interviews.

Additionally, product diversification has proven to be an effective strategy in appealing to different consumer segments, expanding the brand's reach. The findings suggest that creative marketing strategies, such as leveraging social media platforms, influencer collaborations, and limited-edition collections, are essential for boosting sales and fostering customer loyalty. With a focus on quality and trust, ANURATU has the potential for significant growth and sustainability. The study concludes that by continuing to embrace creative marketing techniques, ANURATU can establish itself as a leading brand in the vintage apparel industry.
