Abstract

In January 2019, Amazon Inc. became the first market capitalization on the New York Stock Exchange, ahead of Microsoft Corporation. For the first time a marketplace –a digital platform–was taking the lead before traditional companies from the digital economy sector. Two weeks later, Uber reported a net loss of 865 million dollars in the fourth quarter of 2018. Digital platforms, as new intermediaries, are shaping the functioning rules of this (new) market economy (sometimes called “platform capitalism” (Srnicek, 2018) and challenge economics methods. Since Rochet and Tirole’s (2003) pioneer research in industrial economics on two-sided and multisided markets, platforms have been the subject of much research in economics and management.Whether it is to build typologies, or to analyze the emergence of the diverse business models or the reconfiguration of value chains and their socio-economic impacts, these approaches acknowledge the existence of massive disruptive effects, related to the dissemination of digital platforms. The results are new forms of economic activity organization, far from the classical theoretical representations of the industry, particularly regarding the identities and behaviors of the economic actors involved in these activities. This study is on mobility platforms in France, with a focus on the price-fixing process, highlights the shortcomings of approaches that tend to conceive platforms as ecosystems. It reveals the great diversity that exists and stressing the need of new economic tools to build a power relations analysis.

Abstract

The present paper aims to review the importance, progress and the role of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the developing economies in the wake of Covid-19. It analyzed theoretically in the context of Indian MSMEs. The vital contribution of MSMEs to broader social-economic objectives, including job creation and poverty alleviation makes them a key priority area for achieving the SDGs. It gained a lot of importance in achieving SDGs in the developed economies in general and in developing economies, in particular, owing to its inherent characteristics of inclusive growth and sustainable development. The employment generation through MSMEs will often directly benefit the poor and vulnerable, particularly women and youth, thereby directly reducing poverty, increasing economic status, and reduce the severity of hungry. Further, it leads to nurturing entrepreneurship, which is an engine of inclusive growth and stimulus for economic prosperity and empowering people. All the developing economies including India has taken several measures to promote MSMEs by starting various flagship programs and initiatives. Apart from the various governmental measures initiated globally, the MSMEs sector is not free from myriad problems and it requires more stimulus to strengthen it further. As the present global Covid-19 pandemic lockdown has disrupted badly the functioning of MSMEs, it is the dire need of the day to promote this sector and make it viable to access to the new technology, market competitiveness, and global markets, to play an active and vital role in achieving SDGs by 2030 as per UN targets

Abstract

Concepts and DefinitionsMicro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) are defined based on a number of different criteria, which can include the number of employees, the number of sales or income, and/or the number of assets or capital owned by the business. The classification standards for each criterion can differ according to the sector or industry in which the business operates. Therefore, negara-negara use a combination of criteria, and various standards to meet these criteria, to determine whether a company is classified as MSME. Various institutions in an economy might also be useful for defining MSMEs differently to implement various initiatives directed at MSMEs. Therefore, the definition of MSMEs can vary even in an economy. Given that the definition of MSME reflects the underlying economic characteristics, it is not surprising that the definition of MSME varies substantially throughout the world.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze macroeconomic factors that affect economic growth and regional inflation. The data used in this study included macro data from 33 provinces in Indonesia from 2004 to 2014. We employed a panel regression with the general least square method to analyze the influence of government expenditure variables, credit, the number of workers and the Human Development Index on economic growth as our economic growth model. In addition, a regional inflation model was used to estimate factors that determined inflation by running a probit panel regression with marginal effects. In order to capture the determinant of dummy inflation, we included labor productivity and the highest contribution rank of regional inflation-contributing commodities to the probability of achieving the inflation target.
