This study examines whether internet access increases happiness in Indonesia. Using provincial-level panel data from 2014, 2017, and 2021, a Random Effects model is applied to examine the relationship between internet access and the Happiness Index across 34 provinces. The analysis also includes education, Gini coefficient, unemployment, sanitation, and GDP per capita as additional factors. The findings show that internet access and education have a significant positive effect on happiness, while income inequality significantly reduces it. Although unemployment and sanitation were not statistically significant, they still contribute to the broader context of well-being. These results highlight the importance of expanding internet access and improving educational access as pathways to increasing happiness. The study also supports the Easterlin Paradox in Indonesia, indicating that higher income alone does not necessarily improve life satisfaction.

Tax management refers to strategies employed by companies or individuals to manage tax obligations efficiently, particularly during the Initial Public Offering (IPO) process. Corporate tax management behavior is measured using the Effective Tax Rate (ETR). This study uses secondary data from 78 companies that conducted IPOs in 2023 and published prospectus reports for three years prior to the IPO. Panel data regression with the Common Effect Model (CEM) is applied for analysis. The findings indicate significant changes in corporate tax management behavior during the IPO process. Leverage, firm size, profitability, and auditor changes positively influence tax management practices, while investment bank reputation has a negative effect. The study concludes that higher leverage, larger firm size, and greater profitability are associated with lower ETRs, indicating more aggressive tax management, whereas reputable investment banks tend to reduce such aggressive behavior.

This study investigates the enabling factors of Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) practices and their impact on sustainability performance, with a particular focus on economic performance among furniture Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Yogyakarta. The urgency of this research lies in the inconsistent findings of previous studies regarding GSCM’s effectiveness in improving firm performance and the limited exploration of its enabling factors. Using a quantitative approach, the study surveyed 75 export-oriented furniture MSMEs, selected through purposive sampling, and analyzed the data using SmartPLS 4.0. The results show that consumer behavior and organizational strategy significantly influence GSCM adoption, while institutional pressures and economic advantages do not. GSCM practices positively influence environmental and social performance, but do not directly or indirectly improve economic performance. This study contributes to the literature by integrating both the drivers and the outcomes of GSCM in a single empirical framework specific to the MSMEs context.

Sustainable tourism is becoming an important priority in the development of tourist destinations, which are facing environmental challenges. This research aimed to explore the influence of green products on sustainable tourism in the Bandung tourist area, where green marketing serves as a moderating factor. Quantitative methods combined with descriptive verification were used to survey several tourist attractions that have implemented the concept of green tourism. The respondents comprised 210 visitors and the multivariate data analysis method was factor analysis with covariance-based SEM-PLS using SmartPLS.
