Islamic Banking and Unemployment: Determining Factors of Unemployment Rate and its Implications on Poverty Level

Purpose: This research aims to analyze whether the development of sharia banking and several other variables such as Gross Domestic Product (GDP), population and social factors have a significant effect on the unemployment rate and poverty alleviation in Indonesia. Method: this research uses quantitative research with the research object being Indonesian macroeconomic data using semiannual data for the period 2010 – 2020. The analysis used is multivariate analysis based on the Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM). Results and conclusions: This research finds that social variables have a negative influence on the unemployment rate compared to population, Islamic banking, or GDP. Another finding is that GDP and Islamic banking have a very detrimental impact on poverty levels. This is different from the unemployment rate which has a positive impact. Regarding the use of mediating factors, namely the unemployment rate, it turns out that sharia banking, population and GDP do not have a significant effect on the poverty rate. However, the amount of poverty is negatively influenced by social variables. implications: This research provides implications for government policy to continue to strengthen capital policies, networks, education and socialization of sharia banking. Apart from that, systematic, conducive, serious and measurable positive efforts in various economic sectors will have an impact on poverty alleviation. Originality/value: This research offers novelty in the form of connecting Islamic banking with poverty levels and is found to have a negative relationship. We use data from 2010 to 2020. We suspect that this condition is caused by a lack of Indonesian government policies regarding capital, networks and education.

Transformation Of Economic System In Poland. The SMEs And EU Integration.

Brand-new economic system has been introduced in Poland two decades ago. The economic transformation from central planning to market system had no precedent and the theory of economics had not offered any complex model of such a makeover. So, we have been all learning by doing. And now, as we want to understand the process we aim at identifying both major agents and processes that were responsible for the results achieved. Without any doubt there has been at least one important agent of the transformation that could be easily recognized, namely: individual entrepreneurship. After 1989 we have been observing numerous small enterprises being established in Poland. The SMEs sector (small and medium enterprises) after half a century of centrally planned economy has been catching up with its developments. Nowadays - as in any other market economy - SMEs are important element of economic system in Poland, too. They account for 99.8 per cent of total number of enterprises, approx. half of both capital investment and value added and roughly 1/3 of exports. The following paper aims at identify the role of the SME sector in the process of reconstruction of market system in Poland after 1989. It concentrates on one special aspect of economic transformation, namely the integration with European Union on SME development potential. To set our reasoning in order we pose the subsequent questions: What is the role of SMEs sector in Polish economy? What changes of business environment has EU integration brought? What were the costs and benefits of the integration for Polish SME sector?

Hierarchy Analysis of Processes and Strategies for Strengthening Small and Medium Enterprises After New Normal in West Halmahera Regency

Combined Supercritical CO2 Brayton Cycle and Organic Rankine Cycle for Exhaust Heat Recovery

Abstract In order to reduce energy consumption and related CO2 emissions, waste heat recovery is considered a viable opportunity in several economic sectors, with a focus on industry and transportation. Among different proposed technologies, thermodynamic cycles using suitable organic working fluids seem to be promising options, and the possibility of combining two different cycles improves the final recovered energy. In this paper, a combination of Brayton and Rankine cycles is proposed: the upper cycle has supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) as its working fluid, while the bottomed Rankine section is realized by an organic fluid (organic Rankine cycle (ORC)). This combined unit is applied to recover the exhaust energy from the flue gases of an internal combustion engine (ICE) for the transportation sector. The sCO2 Brayton cycle is directly facing the exhaust gases, and it should dispose of a certain amount of energy at lower pressure, which can be further recovered by the ORC unit. A specific mathematical model has been developed, which uses experimental engine data to estimate a realistic final recoverable energy. The model is able to evaluate the performance of each recovery subsection, highlighting interactions and possible trade-offs between them. Hence, the combined system can be optimized from a global point of view, identifying the most influential operating parameters and also considering a regeneration stage in the ORC unit.

Trends dan Dampak Penelitian Halal Tourism Dunia: Meta Sintesis dan Blibliometric Analysis

Researchers about the world's Muslims have presented a collection of scientific works on halal tourism in many countries. The positive impact of tourism can be seen in terms of social, cultural, environmental, and economic. This article aims to see the trends and impact of the development of research on halal tourism around the world. To approach this problem, bibliometric analysis is used as a method that can map research specialization, and the meta-synthesis method as a technique for integrating data to obtain broader results. This study concludes that there are 25 top countries identified in publications related to halal tourism. The impact of halal tourism is positive on the economic sector, so the results of the literature explain that halal tourism brings foreign exchange, especially in the tourism sector.

Influence of organizational factor on change productivity and work intensity (based on the example of US economy sectors)

Based on the results of existing research and the empirical data obtained by the author, a number of conclusions have been made about the nature and degree of influence of the labor organization factor (labor force, actually living labor) on productivity and labor intensity in industries/sectors of the US economy. This analysis covers the period from 2010 to 2022, when the American economy, subject to an extremely high degree of servization, entered the stage of “re-industrial turn”, formed on the basis of a new sixth technological structure, characterized, in addition to technological innovations, by a significant increase in the role of a person - a qualified worker with creative content of work. Based on the results of regression analysis, the grouping of industries/sectors of the US economy according to the elasticity of productivity and intensity depending on the indicators of labor organization in American companies, expressed through the corresponding regression coefficients, allowed us to draw conclusions about the ambiguity in the nature and significance of the influence of the sought factor on the explained variables. Currently, a number of American industries are forced to use extensive forms of labor organization, in particular to increase the actual hours worked, in order to maintain profitability and competitiveness, despite increasing social costs. The identification of four groups of sectors of the American economy according to this criterion indicates a change in the structural policy of the United States, characterized by a sectoral focus in the field of stabilization and increasing productivity growth rates due to the organizational factor.

Activity of light industry in Russia in the conditions of mobilization events in the field of economy

The purpose of the article is to establish the principles of organizing the light industry and adjacent sectors of the Russian economy in the context of mobilization activities in the economy, in order to ensure the uninterrupted supply of products to meet the needs of the troops within the framework of the state order. Methods. The industry analysis is carried out under two main assumptions: a) the industry should be reformed, on the terms of public-private mobilization partnership (PPMP); b) relations between the light industry and related economic sectors should be built on the terms of an inter-industry syndicate (cluster, strategic alliance). The assessment of the stability of companies in the light industry sector is carried out on the basis of a matrix aggregate calculator (MAC). The return on equity of companies is analyzed using the DuPont formula. Results. Based on the simulation results, it is shown that the industry maintains economic stability provided that three basic conditions are met: a) it maintains an irreducible net profitability at the level of 5–7 %; b) forms an irreducible turnover of its assets at the level of 1.5 times a year; c) is credited by the state under the supplier’s factoring scheme, which gives a level of financial leverage of about 1.6. All this together should lead to a return on industry equity (ROE) of about 20 % per annum, which guarantees a rapid attraction of private capital to the industry, with the issuance of additional state guarantees for capital protection (a real option for business). Discussion. A more detailed modeling of sectoral economic stability requires the correct selection of modeling factors by groups: Threats, Opportunities, BSC, Risks, Chances, Decisions. A special modeling of the industry corporate culture is needed, using the approaches of related specialties. Conclusion. The GFMP principle guarantees the sustainable functioning of the Russian economy in the conditions of a period of maximum and medium levels of response and high readiness. The conventional wisdom that it is possible to ensure the sovereignty of the country by keeping the peacetime economy in the rear is untenable.

The Socio-economic impact of decarbonising geographical Islands' energy systems

The impact of the transition to energy autonomy on two geographical island’s local economies, through maximising renewable energy generation and storage, is assessed. The different sectors and activities that impact employment and income generation in the local economies of each of the islands are described. An empirical assessment approach based on the Keynesian Income Multiplier (KIM) is developed and applied using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). Data for AHP was collated through interviews with local experts and stakeholders on each island. Gender employment and wage data was used to calculate the impact on female waged employment within the islands’ economic sectors. The analysis conducted showed that the induced local economic impact per unit of electrical energy due to the new RES-based autonomy in all sectors for male waged employment for both islands, exceeds its unit cost (LCOE). While the profits from per unit of electrical energy for the female waged employment only exceeded the unit cost (LCOE) in tourism for La Graciosa, and three other sectors in Gotland. The local economic impact from decarbonisation and 100% energy autonomy is significantly influenced by how the income from this renewable energy is recirculated within the island’s economic sectors, most essentially, tourism. Our findings suggest that strategies for community ownership and training local people to manage renewable energy facilities is necessary to maximise the benefits of the transition to energy autonomy on local communities.

The State of Supplier Diversity Initiatives by Large Corporations: The New Sustainable Supply Chain?

We describe the state of supplier diversity efforts by large corporations from an international perspective. We examine data for the companies in the 2020 and 2022 Fortune Global 500 and find that corporate definitions of diversity are dynamic and vary across regions. Furthermore, while supplier diversity efforts are not yet widespread, these initiatives are increasingly common, especially in the form of references to diversity in companies’ supplier codes of conduct. Companies in North America and in certain economic sectors, such as the financial and healthcare sectors, are more likely to have such efforts in place. Based on our data, companies that report on their internal diversity and companies that have other forms of supplier sustainability initiatives are also more likely to have supplier diversity initiatives. We argue further that supplier diversity efforts will follow a trajectory similar to other supplier sustainability efforts. Finally, we suggest possible avenues for future research on supplier diversity.

ДІАГНОСТИКА ЙМОВІРНОСТІ БАНКРУТСТВА ПІДПРИЄМСТВ

Formulation of the problem. In the period of today's complex challenges - the conduct of military operations on the territory of Ukraine, the consequences of the pandemic, an unfavorable investment climate, and others - the detection of the probability of bankruptcy of enterprises is of particular importance. Timely detection of the onset of crisis phenomena using various methods and models and the adoption of precautionary measures ensure the avoidance of financial instability in the future. Therefore, conducting a timely diagnosis of the probability of bankruptcy is relevant, because there is a growing need for effective financial management in order to achieve the goals set by enterprises in the long term. The purpose of the research is to build a methodology for diagnosing the probability of bankruptcy of enterprises based on various bankruptcy models, based on the conditions of their activity, and to form forecasts of their further development on this basis. The object of the research is the process of constructing a diagnosis of the probability of bankruptcy of aviation industry enterprises. The method of the research - its became modern methods and principles of scientific knowledge, methods and techniques for evaluating bankruptcy diagnostics, tools of financial and economic analysis, models for forecasting further development, which allowed to combine existing approaches for multifaceted assessment of the probability of bankruptcy and identification of factors affecting the unstable activity of enterprises. The hypothesis of the research there was an assumption about the possibility of building a methodology for diagnosing the probability of bankruptcy of enterprises using modern, widely used methods of assessing bankruptcy, financial analysis of the results of operations and forming forecasts of further stable development. The statement of basic materials. The article examines the main stages of diagnosing the probability of bankruptcy of aviation enterprises, which provides an opportunity to determine the factors that generate unstable activity, develop appropriate countermeasures to avoid problem areas, and predict the improvement of development conditions. It is emphasized that each individual enterprise can use its own methods of assessing the probability of bankruptcy, which require the development of further specific anti-crisis measures, but the proposed method allows a comprehensive and thorough approach to the prompt detection and avoidance of crisis phenomena at enterprises. The originality and practical significance of the research is confirmed by the approbation of the proposed methodology for diagnosing the probability of bankruptcy at aviation industry enterprises. Conclusions and perspectives of further research. It has been proven that the use of the proposed methodology for diagnosing the probability of bankruptcy at enterprises allows recognizing and identifying threats, predicting their consequences, making operational decisions regarding the elimination of threats and adjusting the strategic goals of the enterprise's development. Further research will be aimed at assessing the probability of bankruptcy of enterprises in priority sectors of the national economy and developing measures for their recovery activity.

Manuscript_Socialization and Training on Tax Obligations for MSME to Support Tax Revenue in Indonesia

Taxes are an important source of state revenue. Every year, the contribution of taxes to state income increases, but it is not optimal. As observed, Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprise (MSME) is an important sector in the Indonesian economy, serving as one of the main contributors to state revenue. In order to improve this contribution, diverse strategies have been adopted by the government to augment tax paid by enterprise. One such strategy is the provision of various convenience facilities including online taxation services. However, it is equally crucial to also acknowledge that despite the provision of these convenience facilities, field observations showed a significant lack of interest and resistance from both the community and taxpayers concerning handling tax reports. Based on these conditions, lecturers at the Accounting Department at Universitas Padjadjaran conducted socialization and training webinars with the primary aim of providing substantial information concerning taxation for MSME in Indonesia. The results showed that after the conducted training, there was an increased understanding among MSME actors regarding tax regulations as well as an improved comprehension of tax calculations, payment compliance, and reporting.Keywords: Tax, MSME, Socialization and Training

Mining activities and housing price nexus: evidence from South Africa

Purpose Several studies have examined the impact of market fundamentals on house prices. However, the effect of economic sectors on housing prices is limited despite the existence of two-speed economies in some countries, such as South Africa. Therefore, this study aims to examine the impact of mining activities on house prices. This intends to understand the direction of house price spreads and their duration so policymakers can provide remediation to the housing market disturbance swiftly. Design/methodology/approach This study investigated the effect of mining activities on house prices in South Africa, using quarterly data from 2000Q1 to 2019Q1 and deploying an auto-regressive distributed lag model. Findings In the short run, we found that changes in mining activities, as measured by the contribution of this sector to gross domestic product, impact the housing price of mining towns directly after the first quarter and after the second quarter in the non-mining cities. Second, we found that inflationary pressure is instantaneous and impacts house prices in mining towns only in the short run but not in the long run, while increasing housing supply will help cushion house prices in both submarkets. This study extended the analysis by examining a possible spillover in house prices between mining and non-mining towns. This study found evidence of spillover in housing prices from mining towns to non-mining towns without any reciprocity. In the long run, a mortgage lending rate and housing supply are significant, while all the explanatory variables in the non-mining towns are insignificant. Originality/value These results reveal that enhanced mining activities will increase housing prices in mining towns after the first quarter, which is expected to spill over to non-mining towns in the next quarter. These findings will inform housing policymakers about stabilising the housing market in mining and non-mining towns. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first to measure the contribution of mining to house price spillover.

АНАЛІЗ ПЕРСПЕКТИВ ФУНКЦІОНУВАННЯ ПІДПРИЄМСТВ З ІНОЗЕМНИМИ ІНВЕСТИЦІЯМИ В УКРАЇНІ

Formulation of the problem. The post-war recovery of Ukraine requires attracting foreign investment. Attracting foreign direct investments will make it possible to ensure capital investments, annual direct contributions to the economy, new jobs, exports, acquisition of new skills and technologies, innovativeness of economic sectors. The aim of the research is to analyze modern prospects for the development of the process of foreign investment and the functioning of enterprises with foreign investments in Ukraine. The оbject of the research is theoretical and practical approaches to the attraction of foreign investments and the functioning of enterprises with foreign investments in Ukraine. The methods of the research: logical method, method of comparison, methods of induction and deduction, analysis and synthesis, system analysis, correlation analysis. The hypothesis of the research. The volume of foreign investment is directly proportional to the volume of GDP, expenditure on education and labor force and inversely proportional to the income inequality level and unemployment level. The statement of basic materials. Correlation coefficients between the volume of foreign investment and the factors affecting this volume have been determined, which will allow influencing specific key indicators that most stimulate the inflow of foreign investment. The mechanism for attracting foreign investments is presented, covering strategic, intermediate and current goals, a list of forms, methods, objects and tools of influence. The practical significance of the research. The practical implementation of the proposed measures will make it possible to intensify the attraction of foreign investments in Ukrainian enterprises. Conclusions and perspectives of further research. The problem of attracting investments into the economy of Ukraine is related to the lack of motivation to invest, insufficient accumulation of resources by the main groups of investors, a wide outflow of capital abroad, etc. Unfavorable investment climate caused by military actions, occupation of territories and destruction of infrastructure, migration of experienced specialists abroad, extremely unstable economic situation in the country, slowdown of economic reforms, high level of corporate taxation, instability of legislation, corruption, low purchasing power of the population, low predictability of junctures of commodity and raw material markets, significant price fluctuations; imperfection of ownership and shareholding relations, becomes the main obstacle in attracting investments. However, there are undoubtedly attractive factors for investing in Ukraine's economy, including the attractive geographical position determined by the country's location in the center of Europe at the crossroads of trade routes, the presence of an educated workforce, as Ukraine has a very high intellectual and professional level of manufacturers. Also, labor is cheap. Ukraine has favorable conditions for the introduction of high technologies, which is facilitated by the presence of performers with a high intellectual level. Also, relatively cheap raw materials and energy resources, which contributes to the low cost of manufactured goods. The obtained results showed a high dependence between the amount of FDI and the level of GDP in the country (correlation coefficient is 0.82), and a direct interdependence was revealed, which means that with the growth of GDP, the amount of foreign investment will increase, which is logical, because with the growth of GDP, the country is investment attractive for a foreign investor. The high correlation between the volume of foreign investment and the availability of labor in the country (correlation coefficient is 0.79) means that the availability of labor, including skilled labor, is extremely important for the investor (this is also evidenced by the interdependence between FDI and state spending on education in the country ), since the ease of hiring employees and their productivity depend on it.

The Social Construction of Organizational Communication Through Extension in The Mitigation Model of The Consultation on Village Development in Indonesia

Purpose: Understanding the social construction of organisational communication and deliberation is crucial to mitigating village development deliberation in Indonesia. Discrepancies in the outcomes of development deliberation from village to sub-district to district have implications for changes in the quality and quantity of development projects, which may not conform to the rules and policies set by the head village. Methods: This study employs a constructive approach and a normative qualitative method to examine village development. Primary and secondary materials, as well as legal norms, are used to collect data. The data is collected through literature review, observation, interviews, and narrative analysis based on inductive syllogism. Results and Conclusion: Organizational communication is crucial for the sustainability of development. Counseling on the concept of village development can help achieve this. The village head's policy implementation needs improvement in terms of quality and motivation. It is important to adhere to legal norms for village development. Research implications: This research examines the norms of sustainable rural development in Indonesia, providing knowledge, understanding, and skills to all parties involved. It identifies areas for improvement in the planning and implementation of development budgets to ensure quality and transparent development. Originality/value: Analyze the importance of integrating the village development budget plan with existing regulations with the social demands of the community to ensure the immediate realization of certainty and stability of development quality to lead to a special development sector in the rural economic sector that encourages economic growth of the village community.

Environmental Goods and Services: Developments of the Concept, the Economic Sector, and the Markets

Abstract Green (environmental) marketing, which promotes cleaner, less detrimental products, is considered to be one of the main contributors to sustainable production and consumption. With the latest EU policy initiatives aimed at acceleration of green transition, it deserves even more attention while the concept of environmental goods and services still remains a subject for discussion, and both comparative environmental impact of some of such products and the green demand probably are overestimated. The studies offer an approach to the theoretical concept of environmental goods and services providing the integrated vision through the prism of the ecological economics, national accounting, and marketing with the initial point of green (environmental) needs. To understand full potential of marketing for environmental sustainability, which is of growing importance, the studies address the sole purpose environmental products also as those which are beyond the green marketing efforts, but playing the equally important role. Production of environmental goods and services by the EU economy is analysed with special attention to groups of products by their primary purpose, and conclusions are drawn regarding the sustainability potential of different fields of marketing.

Globalisation and informality: The role of quality gap and social contributions

AbstractWe investigate theoretically and empirically the effect of globalisation on informality. We use a model with two identical countries. Firms in each country choose to be formal or informal. Relative to an informal firm, a formal one produces a good of higher quality and pays social contributions on each worker. We determine the effect of globalisation on the size and the share of informality from the comparison of Autarky and Full Integration scenarios. We prove that for a given quality gap between formal and informal products, (i) globalisation increases the size of informality for low and high levels of social contributions but decreases it for intermediate ones; (ii) globalisation increases the share of informality for low social contributions and decreases it for high social contributions. The turning points depend increasingly on the quality gap. We then test these theoretical results by relying on the well‐informed data available for Latin‐American countries and using the economic sector as a proxy for the quality gap between a formal and an informal firm. Our empirical results are highly consistent with the theoretical model. In terms of policy implications, they show that globalisation may be used by the states together with modulated social contributions so as to reduce informality, but not for all economic sectors simultaneously.

Economic impact of government health expenditure: An application of the computable general equilibrium model to the Iran.

Considering the increase in health expenses and the government's role in health financing, this study investigated the economic impact of increases in the share of the health sector in the government budget while taxes remain unchanged and government spending is fixed. The economic model used in this study was a macroeconomic Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model. This model was calibrated using a 2011 Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) Of Iran. The CGE model was solved with non-linear programming using the General Algebraic Modeling System package, version 2.50. The effect of this simulation on the government budget deficit, the production of different sectors of the economy, and the employment rate was investigated. Based on our fundings the elasticity of substitution in the agricultural and industrial sectors is higher than in the health and service sector. Also, the biggest decrease in production occurred in the industry, agriculture, and service sectors, respectively. With the doubling of the share of government spending in the health sector, the employment rate of this sector has increased by 40.9%, but the highest decrease in the ignition rate is related to the service sectors (-2.7%), agriculture (-0.23%), and industry (-0.14%). Increasing the share of government spending in the health sector in comparison with other sectors of the economy, provided that government spending is maintained in general, leads to a decrease in production and economic welfare. It seems that the Iranian government should seek to increase the sources of health financing and the share of government expenditures in the health sector with other ways in order to improve the health level of the society and have a positive effect on other economic sectors.

Tracking Interprovincial Flows of Atmospheric PAH Emissions Through Downscaling Estimates With Province‐Specific Emission Factors

AbstractAtmospheric polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are emitted significantly by economic sectors, are closely related to the global incidence of human cancer. When assessing temporal changes in PAH emissions in a country that is vast in area, such as China, it is crucial to consider socioeconomic differences across geological regions. In this study, we developed PAH emission factors at the provincial level and used them to compile a Chinese PAH emission inventory. Subsequently, we estimated trade‐driven PAH emissions at the provincial level in 2007, 2010, 2012, 2015, and 2017, and examined the critical supply chain paths. The updated inventory reveals a distinct temporal trend in trade‐driven PAH emissions, although they remain at an order of magnitude similar to previous estimates. National total production‐, consumption‐, and income‐based PAH emissions, despite a rebound in 2012, exhibit a general decline from 59.3, 43.3, and 48.8 kt in 2007 to 52.1, 43.9, and 47.0 kt in 2017, respectively. These declines align with economic adjustments and emissions mitigation legislation. Spatial hotspots were concentrated in the most affluent Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta, and Jing‐Jin‐Ji provinces on the demand side and in the northern coal resource‐rich provinces on the supply side. They primarily drive PAH emissions from the heavy industrial sectors of northern coal resource‐rich provinces. Fewer affluent provinces have experienced a rapid increase in trade‐driven PAH emissions after 2012, emphasizing the need for synergistic reduction measures to combat PAH pollution.
