Abstract

Although the advantages of digitalization are frequently mentioned, there is still a persistent gender disparity in labor participation, especially in developing nations. This study examines the extent to which digitalization guarantees gender equality. Specifically, it aims to analyze the impact of internet usage on women's involvement in Indonesia's workforce. This study additionally examines the impacts in various parts of the country. Through the use of panel Tobit regression, utilizing district-level data obtained from SUSENAS-KOR, SAKERNAS, and INDO-DAPOER for the years 2017-2019, we have discovered a noteworthy and positive correlation between the utilization of the internet and the participation of women in the labor force. The observed effect remains strong even after accounting for additional factors. The heterogeneity analysis indicates that the correlation between internet usage and female labor force participation is more pronounced in the Java region than in areas outside Java. However, obstacles still prohibit women from accessing the advantages of digitalization. Hence, the proposed policy entails prioritizing equitable internet access and diminishing the obstacles to women's participation in the labor market to attain gender equality.

Abstract

This study examines FDI influence on economic growth in 24 emerging market economies. The generalized Method of Moment (GMM) method is used in this research using panel data to see the effect of FDI on economic growth. This study also uses the Panel Vector Error Correction Model (PVECM) method to see the short-term relationship and Fully Modified Ordinary Least Square (FMOLS) to see the long-term relationship. This study finds strong empirical evidence indicating that the influence of FDI on economic growth is statistically significant in the short and long term. These results vary if we include the level of development reached by countries in emerging market economies. In upper-middle and lower-middle-income countries, FDI positively and greatly influences economic growth. Different results occur in high-income countries, and the results are positive and insignificant. The results show that FDI in high-income countries tends to leave these countries.

Abstract

Activity-based costing (ABC) is a way to figure out actual costs. It has become an essential part of both manufacturing and service organizations. This study aims to figure out the effect of the ABC on the manufacturing system. The data was collected from different countries. The method of this study is the systematic Literature Review of the last ten years, 2012-2022. Activities-based costing (ABC) is a good system because it was adopted by many manufacturing businesses to achieve several benefits, including cost ascertainment, which helped them make wise price decisions, cost reduction, which increased profitability, increased productivity, time and resource savings, and improved production quality. Lack of information and inadequate understanding of how to use the ABC system in their company were to blame for companies that did not accelerate its use. Using activity-based costing is effective.

Abstract

South Africa dreams of eradicating poverty and achieving equitable distribution of its scarce resources among its citizens by 2030. Economic growth sustained over time is crucial in achieving its developmental goals. Domestic savings provide a cheap source of resources for investment that would sustain economic growth. This study explored the relationship between South Africa's aggregate national savings and aggregate national income from 1987 to 2021. The study utilized Solow's bivariate model and error correction-centered causality to ensure the robustness of the study results while testing the relationship between saving and economic growth. The study confirmed that aggregate national saving was positively related to South Africa's economic growth. In the short run, deviations from the long-run paths were partly corrected in the present period. In addition, the study found aggregate national saving Granger caused short- and long-term economic growth. The general policy recommendation is that the Government of South Africa should remove bottlenecks to aggregate national saving mobilization efforts by implementing pro-saving fiscal and monetary policies. High saving rates will stimulate income growth through investments in productive sectors, reducing poverty and inequality.

Abstract

The Global Adult Tobacco Survey in 2020 shows that Indonesia became the world's third-highest number of smokers. This is due to the excessive consumption of cigarettes by the Indonesian people and the lack of awareness of the effects of smoking. This study aims to investigate the socioeconomics as an indicator that has a high probability of being a determinant of individual decisions in households to quit smoking and uses the latest Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS-5). The Probit approach was used to analyze the most identified factors for preventive ways and propose interventions to address those factors. We find some facts, namely (1) The higher the level of education and income of the individual in the household, the higher the probability of the individual's decision to quit smoking; (2) unlike cigarette expenditure, the more significant the increase in cigarette expenditure, the lower the individual's probability of quitting smoking; (3) but, unfortunately, the existence of a non-smoking area does not influence individuals in the household to quit smoking, this also applies to individual smokers who are sick. We also found that several control variables, such as (4) increasing age and marital status (married), had a positive effect on an individual's decision to quit smoking; (5) individuals who were male had a lower probability of quitting smoking than females. In addition, (6) both individuals with marital status (divorced) and occupation do not affect the decision to quit smoking.

Abstract

Under crisis conditions, the significant decline in bank credit growth is associated with the credit crunch phenomenon. The ability of the banking system to provide credit in the economy is limited compared to the demand for credit. During the Covid-19 pandemic, credit growth in Indonesia reached its lowest point when compared to the pre-Covid-19 period. However, the causative factor is still ambiguous. Using a credit market disequilibrium model estimated with Maximum Likelihood, this study tested whether the decline in credit during the Covid-19 pandemic was a credit crunch phenomenon. The results of this study show that the parameter of the probability of credit decline during the Covid-19 pandemic is an insignificant credit crunch phenomenon. This means that the estimated demand for credit is less than the excess supply. Thus, the implications for the role of monetary policy by lowering interest rates have been hampered due to the decline in economic activity during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the performance of technical efficiency convergence (Beta and Sigma convergences) of 10 ASEAN economies as well as other three main partners from East Asia, namely China, South Korea, and Japan for the years of 1990-2021, and addresses the determinants of this convergence consisting of foreign direct investment (FDI), export, and import. By using Stochastic Frontier Analysis to estimate technical efficiency as well as panel dynamic of Generalized Methods of Moment (GMM) to test convergence, we found robust findings of convergence moments, both the catching up effect (Beta Convergence) as well as inequality reduction (Sigma Convergence) across the countries. The effect of FDI inflow to the growth of technical efficiency growth is positive. Coupled to this, a higher ratio of export to the GDP affects positively to the efficiency growth by about 14%-26%. In contrast, importing causes diminishing efficiency growth. The effect of FDI is significant in reducing the inequalities of efficiency only in the period of 2006-2021. While export reveals positive significance in affecting efficiency gap, import discourages efficiency gap to enlarge, indicating that import substitution remains unable to be implemented in some countries to obtain efficiency.

Abstract

The debate over the effectiveness of taxes as a tool for promoting economic growth still needs to be solved, with several studies indicating mixed effects of taxes on economic growth. The purpose of this research is to assess the impact of taxation on economic growth in Africa. The study spans eleven years, from 2008 to 2018, and includes multiple variables for 21 African countries. GDP is a dependent variable used as a proxy for economic growth. Numerous GDP-determining predictors were utilized as independent variables; these variables were categorized into three groups: The supply side consists of human capital (population and literacy rate) and economic activities (trade and services). Demand side variables include consumption, government expenditures, net exports, and gross capital formation. Lastly, taxation variables consist of tax revenue, corporate tax rate, number of tax payments, personal income tax, and taxes on income, profits, and capital gains. The study conducted preliminary tests, including descriptive statistics, correlation matrix, and pooled least square estimations for panel data. Based on the results, all macroeconomic determinants have statistically significant effects on GDP except trade. Tax revenue and corporate tax rate positively affect GDP, while personal income tax rate and tax on income, profit, and capital gain negatively affect GDP. In general, taxation has a favorable effect on the economy of African countries because emerging countries use taxation as an internal key to generate revenue and improve economic growth.

Abstract

This paper proposes a new model of urban security for city branding in Indonesia, which aims to address the gap in city branding indices lacking safety and security factors. The proposed model, the Urban Defense Index (UDI), measures a region's ability to manage risks and handle security threats in urban areas. The UDI is calculated based on three sub-indices: ThreatsDisruptions- Obstacles- Challenges (TDOC), Posture, and Stability, which use objective and subjective measurements. A case study uses the proposed model to measure five Kalimantan cities' urban defense readiness levels. The study found that Stability, Posture, and TDOC are essential factors in determining the level of urban defense readiness in the cities. Future research can address the limitations of the UDI model proposed in this study and expand the UDI model to include other factors that affect urban security.

Abstract

The paper examined the relationship between the pressure in the exchange market, exchange rate, and trade balance in Nigeria to ascertain whether or not the J-Curve effects exist. The investigation was anchored on the Marshal-Lerner and the J-Curve theories using annual time series data from 1986 to 2021. The Structural Vector Autoregressive (SVAR) technique was employed, and the findings revealed that the pressure in the exchange market exerts a strong contemporaneous positive effect on the exchange rate in the country. Also, the findings showed that the exchange rate has a strong contemporaneous negative effect on the trade balance. Furthermore, the long-run results indicated that the exchange rate has a positive but weak effect on the country's trade balance. Based on these findings, it was concluded that the relationship that exists among foreign exchange market pressure, exchange rate, and balance of trade suggests the potentiality of the J-Curve effects in the economy. The study recommended that local production of goods and services in Nigeria should be strengthened so that the depreciation of the naira would improve the trade balance. In the event of naira depreciation, domestic consumers could redirect their demand to the consumption of locally produced goods and services. Also, local production, especially in manufacturing and agricultural processing, should be encouraged, and the quality of the products be enhanced for competitive exportation to improve the trade balance in the country. The policy implication is that policymakers can leverage naira depreciation as a policy tool to enhance Nigeria's balance of trade.
