Abstract

The purpose of the study is to identify and predict regional economic growth in Aceh with a time series model which is the Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model. The analysis uses quarterly Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) data (2010Q1-2025Q4), which is a result of official statistics. The values of the Augmented Dickey-Fuller test demonstrate that the series is not stationary at the level, but becomes stationary after the first difference, which means that the integration order is I(1). According to the BoxJenkins approach, the ARIMA(4,1,4) model is determined as the best possible specification, where the autoregressive term with lag 4 is highly statistically significant. Diagnostic tests are used to establish that the model meets stability and invertibility requirements whereby the residuals act as white noise. In terms of forecasting performance, the model demonstrates high accuracy, as indicated by low RMSE, MAE, and MAPE values, along with a Theil inequality coefficient close to zero. The forecasting results reveal a consistent upward trend in GRDP over the period 2025Q1 to 2030Q4, suggesting sustained economic growth in Aceh. These findings highlight the effectiveness of the ARIMA model as a reliable tool for short- to medium-term economic forecasting and provide valuable insights for regional policymakers in designing evidence-based development strategies.

Abstract

This study examines how informational complexity and market structure jointly influence stock returns in an emerging market context. Using panel data from 40 publicly listed firms across eight sectors during 2005–2026, the study measures informational complexity through Shannon entropy and Kullback–Leibler (KL) divergence, while market concentration is captured using the Herfindahl–Hirschman Index (HHI). Fixed effects panel regression models are employed to evaluate the direct and interaction effects of informational and structural variables, with additional macroeconomic controls including inflation, interest rates, and exchange rates. The results show that informational complexity is positively associated with stock returns in baseline models, indicating that uncertainty and distributional irregularities contain economically relevant information. However, the significance of these effects declines after incorporating macroeconomic controls and time effects, suggesting that informational dynamics are partly shaped by broader economic conditions. The interaction between entropy and market concentration remains positive and robust, demonstrating that the effect of informational complexity depends on market structure and becomes stronger in more concentrated sectors. Exchange rates also exhibit a significant negative relationship with stock returns, highlighting the importance of macroeconomic stability in emerging markets. The study is limited by its focus on a single emerging market and the use of annual aggregated data, which may not fully capture higher-frequency dynamics. Nevertheless, the findings provide practical implications for investors and policymakers by emphasizing the conditional nature of informational effects in financial markets. The study’s originality lies in integrating information-theoretic measures and market structure within a unified empirical framework to explain nonlinear stock return dynamics.

Abstract

This article discusses how consumer value, satisfaction, and loyalty can be developed from the perspective of Islamic marketing. This issue is important because modern marketing practices often position consumers as transactional targets, whereas Islamic marketing requires business relationships based on values, ethics, justice, and public benefit. This article positions Islamic marketing as a conceptual approach that is not only concerned with functional satisfaction, but also with consumers’ spiritual and moral satisfaction. The discussion is conducted through a qualitative literature-based study by examining the concepts of consumer value, satisfaction, loyalty, and Islamic principles such as halal, thayyib, amanah, sidq, adl, ihsan, and maslahah. The discussion shows that consumer loyalty in Islamic marketing is formed through the integration of perceived value, satisfaction with consumption experience, trust in the company, and consistent business practices aligned with sharia principles.

Abstract

This study aims to map global research trends and identify dominant thematic clusters within the business innovation literature to provide a comprehensive structural framework. Using a descriptive bibliometric approach, publication data spanning from 2022 to 2026 was retrieved from a premier scientific database to evaluate emerging literature patterns and keyword linkages. The findings reveal three core thematic clusters internal dimensions, organizational outcomes, and macro contexts with "business model" and "performance" acting as the central anchors of current academic discourse. Temporally, the literature exhibits a significant evolutionary shift from theoretical foundations in late 2023 toward contemporary, practical applications of digital and green innovation by mid-2024. A key limitation of this study stems from its data scope being bounded to a single scientific database; however, its practical implications highlight that integrating digital and environmental strategies is vital for long-term competitiveness and agility in volatile markets. The distinct novelty of this research lies in providing an integrated Data-Driven Sustainable Business Model Innovation (DDSBMI) perspective, systematically uncovering how technological and ecological factors interact within the broader innovation ecosystem rather than analyzing variables in isolation.

Abstract

This study is motivated by the research gap in understanding the influence of financial ratios on stock prices, particularly among companies included in the LQ45 index of the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Using a quantitative approach, 35 firms were selected through purposive sampling, resulting in 70 firm-year observations analyzed with panel data regression under the Random Effect Model. The findings indicate that Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), and Net Profit Margin (NPM) show no significant effect on stock prices, whereas Earnings per Share (EPS) exerts a positive and significant influence, underscoring its role as the primary determinant of stock valuation among LQ45 firms. The study is limited by its relatively short observation period and restricted sample, suggesting caution in generalizing the results. Practical implications highlight the importance of EPS as a key indicator for investors in decision-making, while firms are encouraged to strengthen financial reporting transparency to enhance market confidence. The originality of this research lies in providing recent empirical evidence on the decisive role of EPS in shaping stock prices in the Indonesian capital market, thereby enriching the literature on financial performance and investment behavior in emerging markets

Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of halal certification, product quality, and price on students’ purchase intention towards Kutaradja Fried Chicken at the Faculty of Economics and Business, Syiah Kuala University. A quantitative approach was employed using primary data collected from 100 respondents through questionnaires, selected via purposive sampling. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with SPSS. The findings reveal that product quality and price have a positive and significant effect on purchase intention, while halal certification has a negative and significant effect. This suggests that halal certification is perceived as a basic requirement rather than a differentiating factor among students, whereas product quality and price play a more dominant role in shaping purchasing decisions. Simultaneously, all independent variables significantly influence purchase intention. The findings imply that business practitioners should prioritize improving product quality and maintaining competitive pricing strategies, while consistently ensuring halal compliance to sustain consumer trust. Theoretically, this study contributes to consumer behavior literature by highlighting the shifting role of halal certification from a competitive advantage to a hygiene factor in a highly religious context. Practically, it offers insights for local fast-food businesses in designing value-based marketing strategies targeting student consumers. However, this study is limited to a specific sample of students within one faculty and focuses only on three variables, which may not fully capture broader consumer behavior. Future research is recommended to incorporate additional variables and broader populations to enhance generalizability.

Abstract

This study explores how micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Aceh coped with the hydrometeorological disaster that struck the province in November 2025. Using Soft Systems Methodology and Rich Picture, the research treats MSMEs as human activity systems embedded in a wider web of risks, policies, and community support. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with MSME owners and key stakeholders, Rich Picture sessions, and document analysis of government reports and media sources. The findings reveal four interrelated themes. First, prolonged flooding, damaged roads, and broken supply chains generated acute operational disruption and cash flow stress. Second, social and religious capital, especially neighbors, volunteers, and Islamic philanthropic institutions, acts as the first safety net when formal schemes are slow or difficult to access. Third, MSMEs experienced significant access gaps to government and financial assistance, which reinforced perceptions of distant bureaucracy. Fourth, the disaster triggered learning and adaptation, including simple business continuity practices and partial shifts to online sales, although most responses remained short term. The study demonstrates the value of Rich Picture for visualizing complex disaster impacts on local economies and offers practical insight for designing more inclusive recovery policies for MSMEs in hazard prone regions.

Abstract

Post-disaster rehabilitation in Aceh has generally been assessed through physical outputs and budget absorption, leaving its contribution to multidimensional human welfare insufficiently examined. This study evaluates the effectiveness of government rehabilitation and reconstruction programs through the five essential protections of Maqashid Shariah: religion, life, intellect, wealth, and progeny. It applies directed qualitative content analysis and descriptive quantitative analysis to 13 official recovery documents updated on 27 July 2026. Program targets, implementation progress, service continuity, and constraints were mapped to the five protections and compared across administrative, functional, and structural recovery. The findings reveal markedly uneven effectiveness. Transitional and distributive interventions performed strongly: realization of livelihood, household-content, and economic-stimulus assistance reached 98.96–99.15%; 99.60% of temporary shelters were constructed; and death compensation was fully transferred. However, permanent and productive recovery lagged. Only 401 of 34,727 permanent housing units were explicitly reported as completed, while physical rice-field recovery reached 23.33%, land preparation 4.54%, and planting 1.19%. Education, health, religious, and economic facilities also remained structurally damaged despite partial service continuity, alongside regional transfer absorption of only 2.67%. The study concludes that recovery was administratively responsive but not yet structurally comprehensive, requiring integrated, equitable, and outcome-based governance to fulfil Maqashid Shariah.

Abstract

This study examines how digital transformation is reshaping perceptions of basic needs in contemporary Indonesian urban society. Using a qualitative descriptive approach and secondary data analysis, the study explores the growing integration of internet access, subscription-based services, and cashless financial systems into everyday urban life. The analysis indicates that smartphones, internet connectivity, QRIS infrastructures, e-wallets, streaming subscriptions, and cloud-based applications are increasingly viewed not simply as supporting technologies, but as essential components of communication, mobility, work, financial activity, education, and entertainment. The findings further suggest that recurring subscription systems and cashless financial infrastructures encourage continuous online engagement and convenience-oriented consumption within urban communities. As a result, participation in urban life increasingly depends on access to interconnected online environments that shape social interaction and economic behaviour. A central contribution of this study is the introduction of the concept of digital necessities, which explains how digitally mediated infrastructures are gradually becoming essential requirements for participation in contemporary urban society. These findings contribute to broader discussions on digital society, platform capitalism, urban consumption transformation, and digitally mediated inequality.

Abstract

Japan's halal certification system presents a distinctive case of non-state governance in a Muslim-minority context, yet its institutional architecture and cross-border recognition dynamics remain underexplored. This study analyzes non-state halal certification governance in Japan and its implications for global halal market access, with particular attention to the Halal International Trust Organization (HITO), a community-based certifier established in September 2024 by Indonesian Muslims in Japan. Employing a qualitative desk-study design, data were collected through purposive sampling of official documents, organizational publications, peer-reviewed articles, and media reports, and analyzed using thematic coding and source triangulation. Three key findings emerge: Japan's halal certification operates as a plural non-state governance system in which authority is dispersed across non-profit organizations, religious foundations, and community-based bodies, each deriving legitimacy through reputation and external recognition rather than state mandate; cross-border recognition — particularly through mutual recognition arrangements with Indonesia's BPJPH, Malaysia's JAKIM, and Singapore's MUIS — constitutes the decisive source of institutional authority, establishing the Indonesia–Japan recognition corridor as a structurally significant axis of bilateral halal cooperation; and HITO introduces a novel diaspora-led governance model oriented toward domestic inclusivity and SME accessibility, demonstrating that diaspora communities function as institutional actors and standard intermediaries rather than merely halal consumers. These findings extend non-state governance theory by identifying institutional specialization as the organizing logic of plural halal governance, and advance halal value chain literature by showing that local ecosystem building constitutes a foundational layer of halal market integration in Muslim-minority contexts. The study is limited by its reliance on secondary data; future research should pursue empirical validation through stakeholder interviews.
