| Abstract: | The ASEAN Economic Society (Indonesian: Masyarakat Ekonomi ASEAN (MEA)) is beginning to be implemented by 2015. This means that by 2015 a single market is formed and a production-based entity is supported by a free flow of goods, services, investments, capital and skilled labor. Free flow of skilled labor can be interpreted that all ASEAN citizens can go in and out to find work without any obstacle from the intended country. One of the preparations of the Indonesian government in facing the MEA is to improve the quality of human resources through the Masterplan of Acceleration and Expansion of Indonesian Economic Development (Indonesian: Masterplan Percepatan dan Perluasan Pembangunan Ekonomi Indonesia (MP3EI)) 2011-2025. Application of MEA should be viewed as a positive thing that is opening opportunity for job seekers in Indonesia for career abroad. Given the widespread employment opportunities, the Unemployment Rate (Indonesian: Tingkat Pengangguran Terbuka (TPT)) in Indonesia is declining. Wilcoxon analysis is a non parametric statistical analysis used to compare two nominal data groups correlated. In this study, wilcoxon analysis was used to compare TPT in Indonesia before and after the MEA was applied. TPT data used is TPT data before applied by MEA and TPT data after applied by MEA. The results showed that there was no significant difference between mean TPT in Indonesia before MEA was applied with average TPT in Indonesia after MEA was applied. |

| Abstract: | The paper maps the infiltration of so-called "predatory" scholarly journals into the citation database Scopus. Using the names of "potential, possible, or probable" predatory journals and publishers on Beall's lists, we derived ISSNs of the respective journals from Ulrichsweb and searched Scopus with it. A total of 324 matched journals with 164 thousand documents indexed in Scopus over 2015-2017, making up a share of 2.8 % of the total articles have been identified. An analysis of cross-country differences in the tendency to publish in these journals reveals that overall the most affected are middle-income countries in Asia and North Africa. Kazakhstan is the country with the largest tendency to publish in predatory journals (18 %). More than 5 % is reported in 20 countries, including large countries such as Indonesia (18 %), Malaysia (11 %), India (10 %), or Nigeria (7 %). Neither developed countries are resistant to predatory publishing. More than 16 000 “potentially predatory†articles were published by authors from United States (0.67 %). |

| Abstract: | Poverty in rural areas is still a problem in economic development in Indonesia and shallot is an important agricultural commodity in the food security where shallot is one of the main ingredients in almost all Indonesian cuisine. To overcome imports, government encourages the cultivation of shallot to upland area whereas it is known that the cultivation of shallot in this area faces several problems. The purpose of this study is to analyze the income patterns and factors that determine the income level of farm households in the center of shallot production. The main data used in this study is primary data collected from farm household samples through interviews using structured questionnaires as well as observations. Sampling method used is purposive sampling with representative consideration to population diversity. Descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis are the major analytical tools employed for the study. The results of analysis show that farmers in the study area, in addition to cultivating shallot as well as various horticultural commodities, food and livestock integrated in cropping pattern. Shallot farm income contributes the most to household income, followed by income from livestock and chili farming. Human capital in the form of education level, household size, number of labor; natural capital in the form of farm and agroforestry land size; physical capital in the form of livestock ownership; financial capital in the form of access to credit; as well as social capital in the form of cropping patterns are the variables that significantly affect household income of farmers. |

| Abstract: | Capital market in the united kindom is one of the economy of a country.This study aimed to determine differences in the volume of trade transactions in stock exchanges of Indonesia before and after the change in trading hours and to determine differences in the frequency of transactions in trading with Indonesian stock exchanges before and after the change in trading hours. The data used is secondary data obtained from www.IDX.Com. The model is used to answer the research problem and hypothesis testing analysis research used two different test average, with application tool SPSS version 20.0. The results showed that: 1) there is a difference between trading volume before and after the time change on the Indonesian stock exchange trading, but this difference was not significant. 2). there is a difference between trading frequency before and after the time change on the Indonesian stock exchange trading and significant. Concluded that there is a difference in the volume of transactions but not significantly, foreign investors are still reluctant to invest in the stock exchanges of Indonesia. This is because the prospective investor needs to consider explicitly the information about the outlook for stocks, while the frequency of transactions and there is a significant difference due to the financial services authority policies provide long room to the investors make transactions many times. So that potential investors often conduct transactions or purchase, and take bold decisions to sell or buy the pre-opening session. |

| Abstract: | Seiring dengan kemajuan teknologi, kebutuhan tenaga kerja dengan keahlian yang sesuai dengan penggunaan teknologi baru dalam industri manufaktur semakin meningkat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi hubungan perubahan teknologi terhadap peningkatan skilled labor dan mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor teknologi yang memengaruhi peningkatan skilled labor. Untuk melihat hubungan antara faktor tersebut digunakan metode regresi panel pada data survei tahunan industri manufaktur periode 2010-2015 yang diagregasi berdasarkan kode international standard industrial classification (ISIC) 3 digit. Untuk mendapatkan informasi yang lebih detail, dilakukan variasi rentang periode pengamatan untuk melihat apakah ada perubahan jalur transmisi teknologi terhadap permintaan skilled labor. Penelitian ini juga dipertajam dengan membagi kelompok industri berdasarkan intensitas research and development (R&D). Hasil estimasi mengonfirmasi adanya shifting kebutuhan tenaga kerja dari non-skilled labor ke skilled labor akibat perubahan teknologi (skill-biased technology change) di industri manufaktur. Dengan membagi periode pengamatan menjadi dua periode waktu (2010-2012 dan 2013-2015) ditemukan fakta bahwa pengaruh teknologi masuk ke dalam industri manufaktur Indonesia melalui dua jalur transmisi, yaitu jalur foreign direct investment (FDI) dan jalur R&D. Hasil penelitian juga menunjukkan adanya perbedaan perubahan jalur transmisi teknologi antarkelompok industri. Pada kelompok industri teknologi rendah terjadi perubahan jalur transmisi teknologi dari jalur R&D (2010-2012) menjadi jalur FDI (2013-2015). Sebaliknya, pada kelompok industri teknologi menengah-tinggi terjadi perubahan jalur transmisi teknologi dari jalur FDI (2010-2012) menjadi jalur R&D (2013-2015). Di sisi lain, hasil regresi juga menunjukkan bahwa difusi teknologi baru melalui FDI, imported material, dan ekspor belum berlaku di Indonesia. |

| Abstract: | Beberapa mata uang di dunia, termasuk rupiah Indonesia, memiliki banyak digit akibat hiperinflasi pada masa lalu. Dengan digit yang banyak itu, mata uang berpotensi untuk dipersepsikan memiliki nilai rendah sehingga menimbulkan mispersepsi mengenai fundamen perekonomian suatu negara. Untuk itu, beberapa negara melakukan redenominasi. Berbeda dengan studi lain yang umumnya mengambil contoh kasus di negara yang telah menerapkan kebijakan tersebut, studi ini secara kuantitatif mengidentifikasi determinan preferensi masyarakat terhadap rencana penerapan redenominasi di Indonesia. Analisis studi ini difokuskan pada masyarakat berpendapatan rendah dengan pertimbangan bahwa proporsi segmen tersebut cukup besar (40 persen) jika dibandingkan dengan struktur penduduk Indonesia. Berdasarkan model preferensi yang dibangun dari konsep utilitas, studi ini menemukan bahwa faktor pengetahuan, tingkat pemahaman, dan tingkat kesadaran (awareness) secara signifikan memengaruhi preferensi masyarakat berpendidikan rendah (MBR) terhadap redenominasi. Adapun perbedaan karakteristik demografi, geografi, dan sosial ekonomi secara umum tidak signifikan memengaruhi preferensi MBR, kecuali variabel pendapatan per kapita pada desil-3 dan desil-4. Hasil tersebut mengindikasikan bahwa makin tinggi pendapatan (desil), peluang untuk setuju terhadap kebijakan redenominasi makin besar. |

| Abstract: | Untuk menjalankan peran sebagai strategic advisor bagi pemerintah daerah, Kantor Perwakilan Bank Indonesia membutuhkan tools yang dapat digunakan untuk mengetahui perkembangan ekonomi terkini. Dengan melihat besarnya pangsa konsumsi rumah tangga dan investasi dalam perekonomian di setiap wilayah, tools untuk tracking pertumbuhan ekonomi melalui nowcasting atas kedua variabel tersebut diharapkan dapat memberikan gambaran mengenai kondisi perkembangan ekonomi daerah secara keseluruhan. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk menyusun model nowcasting atas variabel pertumbuhan konsumsi dan investasi di wilayah Sumatra, Jawa, dan Kawasan Timur Indonesia (KTI) menggunakan metode Bridge Model dan Distributed Lag Model (DLM). Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa indikator yang dapat digunakan untuk nowcasting pertumbuhan konsumsi rumah tangga di Sumatra adalah nilai tukar petani, kredit konsumsi, indeks keyakinan konsumen, harga kopi arabika, dan total DPK berdasarkan metode DLM. Sementara itu, nowcasting pertumbuhan konsumsi di Jawa menggunakan indikator berupa indeks keyakinan konsumen, suku bunga deposito, inflasi perumahan; listrik; gas; dan air, serta produksi kendaraan roda empat dengan metode DLM mampu memberikan hasil yang baik. Selanjutnya, nowcasting konsumsi di KTI menggunakan indikator nilai tukar petani, kredit kendaraan bermotor, dan ekspor barang industri berdasarkan metode Bridge mampu menangkap dinamika konsumsi di KTI. Sementara itu, nowcasting pertumbuhan investasi di Sumatra yang dapat dilakukan adalah kombinasi indikator penjualan semen, total kredit, dan harga CPO berdasarkan metode DLM, sedangkan nowcasting pertumbuhan investasi di Jawa dapat dilakukan berdasarkan metode Bridge dengan menggunakan kombinasi data konsumsi semen, impor barang modal, dan juga indeks saham untuk sektor perdagangan. Lebih lanjut, metode Bridge Model juga mampu memberikan gambaran atas pertumbuhan investasi di KTI dengan menggunakan data pertumbuhan kredit modal kerja. |

| Abstract: | Fast food merupakan makanan yang lebih mengutamakan cita rasa daripada kandungan gizi. Misalnya, keripik kentang yang mengandung garam. Beberapa junk food juga mengandung banyak gula misalnya, minuman bersoda, permen dan kue tar. Gula, tertutama gula buatan sangat tidak baik bagi kesehatan tubuh kita karena dapat menyebabkan penyakit diabetes, kerusakan pada gigi kita dan menyebabkan obesitas. McDonald’s merupakan salah satu dari sekian banyak restoran asing yang berhasil memasuki pasar di Indonesia. Dengan budaya yang beragam di Indonesia dengan keberagaman pola perilaku dan kebiasaan yang berbeda pula, McDonald’s mampu memenuhi kebutuhan yang ada pada negara Indonesia. Karena, ada budaya asing yang tidak dapat diterima Indonesia dan ada juga yang dapat diterima masyarakat Indonesia. Dalam pemasaran Internasional ada beberapa budaya dalam kebiasan-kebiasan berbisnis dan semua pembisnis yang ingin melakukan pemasaran secara internasional harus menerapkannya seperti yang dilakukan oleh McDonald’s. Budaya tersebut adalah budaya imperatif, budaya adiafora, budaya eksklusif. McDonald’s harus menerapkan dan mempelajari budaya eksklusif dalam perusahaannya agar dapat berkembang dan lebih maju lagi untuk memenuhi kebutuhan para konsumennya di setiap negara termasuk Indonesia. Maka, Manager yang ada di McDonadl’s Lodaya harus mengetahui dan menerapkan budaya eksklusif dalam perusahaannya agar menarik hati konsumen dan mendapatkan keputusan pembelian dari konsumen. Maka, Manager perlu memperhatikan budaya eksklusif yang sudah terbukti secara tidak signifikan terhadap keputusan pembelian. |

| Abstract: | Internal migration dominates population mobility in Indonesia; according to the 2010 census, there were almost 30 million permanent migrants, around 12.5 percent of the population. The effects of this internal migration on the second generation continue to be under-explored. This paper investigates the long-term impact of parents' migration on their children's intergenerational per capita expenditure when adults. We argue that parental migration affects the human capital investment on their children, which has a direct impact on the children's outcomes when adults and on their deviation from the parents' economic status, hence their intergenerational mobility. We pooled the data of five waves of the Indonesian Family Life Survey, and we tackled the self-selection of parents' migration using linear regression with endogenous treatment. Our findings show that despite the fact that parental migration increases the education level of children and their per capita expenditure, it increases intergenerational mobility only when grown-up children live in urban areas, come from the poorest parents, and migrated themselves in their childhood. The left-behind children have more intergenerational mobility only if their father migrated, while there is no significant impact on intergenerational mobility if their mother migrated. The results are consistent with the persistence of individual inequality in Indonesia. |

| Abstract: | What do state-owned enterprises (SOEs) do? How do they respond to market incentives? Can we expect substantial efficiency gains from trade liberalization in economies with a strong presence of SOEs? Using a new dataset of Vietnamese firms we document a set of empirical regularities distinguishing SOEs from private _rms. Then we empirically study the effect of the 2007 WTO accession on selection, competition, and productivity. Our results show that WTO entry is associated with higher probability of exit, lower firm profitability, and substantial increases in productivity for private firms but not for SOEs. Our estimates suggest that the overall productivity gains would have been about 40% larger in a counterfactual Vietnamese economy without SOEs. We highlight some economic mechanisms possibly driving these findings through the lenses of a model of trade with heterogeneous private and state-owned firms. The model suggests that political/regulatory barriers to entry and access to credit are key drivers of the different response of SOEs to trade liberalization. Further empirical tests broadly validate these insights. |

| Abstract: | In Internet world, many sites featured fancy graphics, well organized content, but they did not really mean that a site induced the visitor to come back on a regular basis. Thus many companies and institutions discovered with surprise that even comparatively large budgets allocated to the development of their Web sites did not always guarantee success. An often quoted possible reason, why potential customers turn their screens rather off than meddle their way through a purchase order, is a Web sites’ low level of consumer focus. There must be a vital interest for online sellers to design their Web sites according to their (potential) customer's needs. The Extended Web Assessment Method (EWAM) represents an instrument for making general statements on the quality of a commercial Web site from a consumer perspective. EWAM is an evaluation tool specifically created for the assessment of electronic commerce applications. EWAM builds on the Web Assessment Method developed at University of St. Gallen, Switzerland by Petra Schubert and Dorian Selz. It mainly integrates findings from Davis’s TAM and Fishbein & Ajzein’ TRA. EWAM the method is based on an evaluation grid that includes a set of criteria with which to appraise the quality and success of ecommerce applications. The focus is on consumer perspectives and the specific features of the Internet as a medium. In this study, researcher used the EWAM tool that built with Google Apps Web Based Application for evaluation of e-shops whose main business is selling books. Four Web sites have been selected in Indonesia and one Web site amazon.com as De Facto Standard. The findings show that most of the Web sites in Indonesia assessed do not fully meet the expectations of consumers. Four Web sites have overall scores below +1 (<+1, score +1 means “good”) from range (-2/+2). The following overall score for each Web site result: balaipustakaonline.com (0.31) as The Worst Practice Profile, gramediaonline.com (0.35), erlangga.co.id (0.67), and kutukutubuku.com (0.73) as The Best Practice Profile |

| Abstract: | This study investigates the long-term causal effect of heavy U.S. bombing missions during the Vietnam War on later economic development in Lao P.D.R. The empirical strategy relies on an instrumental variables approach. We exploit the distance between the centroid of village-level administrative boundaries and heavily bombed targets-the Ho Chi Minh Trail in the case of southern Laos and Xieng Khouang province in the case of northern Laos-as an instrument for the intensity of U.S. bombing missions. We use the three rounds of average nightlight strength data (1992, 2005, and 2013), and two rounds of population density data (1990 and 2005) as the outcome variables. The estimation results show no robust effect of U.S. bombing missions on economic development in the long term. Meanwhile, we find that the results do not necessarily support the conditional convergence hypothesis within a country, although this result could be Lao-specific. |

| Abstract: | This study aimed to analyze the income level of processing and marketing of chicken crispy from three sales outlets on various sales scale. The research was conducted at three locations of chicken crispy selling business, namely A, B and C. The research method was case study. Sampling using "stratified random sampling". The scale of business is the number of chickens processed, which is for scale I (7 heads/day) (outlet A), scale II (5 heads/day) (outlet B) and scale III (3 heads/day) (outlet C). Method of processing and data analysis using descriptive analysis previously conducted normality test data by Kolmogorov Smimov. The results showed that the average monthly fixed costs for outlets A, B and C respectively were IDR 964,334; IDR 826,834 and IDR 368,500. Variable cost IDR 11,797,000; IDR 8,744,500; and IDR 5,186,000. Benefits permonth IDR 6,642,667; IDR 4,288,667 and IDR 2,299,500. The B/C ratio is 1.52; 1.45 and 1.41 and BEP was IDR 2,459,830; IDR 2,672,138 and IDR 1,258,621. The result of this research can be concluded that there were real difference of profit from three types of outlets (three level of business scale). The number of fried chicken products produced in large quantities equally affects profits. Increased business scale significantly increases monthly income. |

| Abstract: | Poverty is still a scourge to be faced by the Government of Malang Regency, mainly because the number is still relatively large, ie 11.07% of the population in 2016. The concentration of poor people who still live in rural areas shows that the poverty level of agriculture sector is at a higher than urban sectors. Therefore, the revitalization of agriculture is very important to be re-emphasized. This study was conducted on coffee farmers in the dryland plains of Malang Regency, East Java, Indonesia, with a view to mapping the factors causing poverty of coffee farmers and formulating the mitigation measures. Based on data processing and information collected from various primary sources (farmers, traders, PPL and related officials) as well as secondary sources (literature and BPS) it was found that the factors affecting poverty are the relatively low quality of coffee farmers and also limited controlof agricultural land resources. Indeed, farmers work very hard to enlarge their income from their narrow land by cultivating it intensively and integrating it with livestock and additional work outside the farm. However, the results have not been able to lift farmers' income away from the poverty line. This is partly due to the very weak position of farmers when dealing with middlemen in the input market and output markets. Farmers have dependence on middlemen to fulfill capital requirement in farming. Meanwhile, government efforts through policy and service programs are not very effective. To help farmers out of the socio-economic difficulties they face, this study proposes the development of the People's Agribusiness Sentra (SAR Cooperative) which is driven by three basic principles (Principles of Cooperatives (PK), Principles of Business (PB) and Networking Principles (PJ). By applying these three principles, through Cooperative SAR farmers' position will be much stronger in the market because it will face the market collectively, benefit from "economics of scale", increase the value added of the product through processing, relinquish the dependence on venture capital from middlemen, and expand business activities through partnerships with agribusiness companies. |

| Abstract: | The Hoabinhian is a distinctive Pleistocene stone artefact technology of mainland and island Southeast Asia. Its relationships to key patterns of technological change both at a global scale and in adjacent regions such as East Asia, South Asia and Australia are currently poorly understood. These key patterns are important indicators of evolutionary and demographic change in human prehistory so our understanding of the Hoabinhian may be substantially enhanced by examining these relationships. In this paper I present new evidence of ancient Hoabinhian technology from Northwest Thailand and examine connections between Hoabinhian technology and the innovation of other important Pleistocene technological processes such as radial core geometry. I present some claims about the evolutionary significance of the Hoabinhian and recommend future research priorities. |

| Abstract: | Perkembangan teknologi digital menawarkan tren ekonomi baru dengan menghubungkan konsumen langsung kepada penyedia jasa. Dalam bidang transportasi, Go-Jek menjadi pionir pemanfaatan teknologi dalam jejaring (daring) dengan sangat masif, bahkan tidak hanya menghubungkan antara masyarakat yang membutuhkan dan pengemudi ojek, tetapi juga menghubungkan antara masyarakat dan UMKM. Penelitian ini menganalisis dampak yang ditimbulkan Go-Jek terhadap pasar tenaga kerja Indonesia. Jumlah pengemudi Go-Jek, baik Go-Jek mobil maupun motor dimodelkan terhadap beberapa variabel tenaga kerja: jumlah orang yang bekerja, jumlah pengangguran, dan tingkat pengangguran dengan variabel kontrol GDRP. Melalui analisis regresi panel dan cross-section, studi ini mengukur dampak Go-Jek di 22 provinsi, mulai dari periode 2015 sampai awal 2018. Hasil utama i studi ini adalah bahwa masuknya Go-Jek membawa dampak terhadap pasar tenaga kerja. Penambahan pengemudi Go-Jek berasosiasi dengan jumlah orang yang bekerja pada setiap titik waktu dalam sampel. Namun, penelitian ini mendapati penambahan pengemudi Go-Jek hanya memiliki dampak yang signifikan terhadap pengangguran pada awal implementasi Go-Jek. Hal itu terjadi karena sesudah implementasi Go-Jek memudahkan pekerja yang sudah memiliki pekerjaan di sektor formal berpindah kerja dengan daya tarik waktu kerja yang lebih fleksibel. Dengan demikian, Go-Jek mampu menjadi platform ekonomi alternatif penyerap tenaga kerja yang mampu meningkatkan fleksibilitas di pasar tenaga kerja. |

| Abstract: | Dalam penelitian ini, dengan menggunakan metode regresi dan kalkulasi Economic Support Ratio, kami menemukan bahwa bonus demografi (demographic dividend) Indonesia diproyeksi akan berakhir pada tahun 2025. Pada periode tersebut, kebutuhan pembiayaan sektor rumah tangga akan didominasi oleh kelompok usia angkatan kerja muda, yakni 25-29 tahun. Fenomena tersebut merupakan potensi sekaligus sumber risiko sistemis baru bagi Stabilitas Sistem Keuangan (SSK). Dalam konteks ini, jumlah konsumen efektif tumbuh lebih cepat dibandingkan dengan jumlah produsen efektif. Sebagai contoh, Jepang telah melewati era bonus demografi sejak tahun 1996. Kejadian ini memberikan pelajaran agar pemangku kepentingan (stakeholder) dalam sistem keuangan dapat mempersiapkan diri untuk menghadapi dampak transisi demografi, antara lain, dengan inovasi produk layanan keuangan dan infrastruktur serta berbagai pengaturan dari otoritas terkait. |

| Abstract: | International interest in increasing marine protected area (MPA) coverage reflects broad recognition of the MPA as a key tool for marine ecosystems and fisheries management. Nevertheless, effective management remains a significant challenge. The present study contributes to enriching an understanding of best practices for MPA management through analysis of archived community survey data collected in the Philippines by the Learning Project (LP), a collaboration with United States Coral Triangle Initiative (USCTI), United States Agency for International Development (USAID), and partners. We evaluate stakeholder participation and social ecological interactions among resource users in MPA programs in the Palawan, Occidental Mindoro, and Batangas provinces in the Philippines. Analysis indicates that a complex suite of social ecological factors including demographics, conservation beliefs, scientifically correct knowledge, perceptions of personal benefit, and perceptions of fish scarcity influence participation, which in turn is related to perceived MPA performance. Findings indicate positive feedbacks within the system that have potential to strengthen perceptions of MPA success. The results of this evaluation provide empirical reinforcement to current inquiries concerning the role of participation in influencing MPA performance. |

| Abstract: | Simple negligence can be a fatal impact. The threat of cyber in 2017 is feeble, and it starts from “wanna cry” until “nopetya” that the impact is relatively weak. The public also feels the threat of cybercrime even in many countries who have become the target of cyber-war, the society became the most disadvantaged. Cybercrimes have an impact on the National Security, financial loss and consumer confidence. Therefore, in the middle of the more high dependency, man will use information technology, cybersecurity must be the primary priority for a state. The Indonesian people still believe that only the information is available on the internet. Even though the information may unnecessarily is accurate. The results of a survey conducted by the CIGI Ipsos in 2016 released in 2017 shows that 65 percent of Indonesia receives the information is available on the internet without filtering the first. |

| Abstract: | This research aims to examine and analyze the effect of human resource management practices (i.e. leadership styles, employee commitment, work motivation, and work climate) on employee job satisfaction and employee performance. This study used primary data obtained through a survey to 221 employees as a sample. The result of Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) analysis shows that empirically the leadership style, employee commitment, work motivation, and work climate have positive and significant impact on job satisfaction. Leadership style, employee commitment, work motivation, and work climate, either directly or indirectly have a positive and significant effect on employee performance through job satisfaction as variable intervening. Job satisfaction has a direct positive and significant effect on employee performance. The direct effect of leadership styles, employee commitment, motivation and work climate on employee performance is positive, which means that when the exogenous variables improved the job satisfaction and employee performance will increase. The indirect effect of exogenous variable on employee performance through job satisfaction is positive. The total effect which is the sum of the direct and indirect effects through job satisfaction obtained positive value, which means there is effect of direct effect and indirect effect of exogenous variable on employee performance through job satisfaction. |

| Abstract: | This paper examines the long-term simultaneous response between dividend policy and corporate value. The main problem studied is that the dividend policy is responded very slowly to the final goal of corporate value. Analysis of Data was using Vector Autoregression (VAR). The result of the discussion concludes the effect of different simultaneous response every period between dividend policy with corporate value, short-term, medium-term, and long-term. The strongest response to dividend changes comes from free cash flow whereas the highest response to corporate value comes from market book value. |

| Abstract: | Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membangun model makrofinansial berbasis Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) yang digunakan untuk mempelajari transmisi kebijakan makroprudensial dan interaksinya dengan kebijakan moneter untuk mencapai stabilitas makroekonomi dan stabilitas sistem keuangan. Model dalam penelitian ini dibangun dengan asumsi bahwa small open economy dikalibrasi dengan menggunakan data Indonesia yang diambil pada periode mulai dari 2000Q3 sampai dengan 2107Q4. Instrumen kebijakan yang dimodelkan terdiri atas suku bunga kebijakan, LTV ratio, minimum CAR requirement, dan RIM. Hasil simulasi model menunjukkan bahwa instrumen kebijakan makroprudensial yang terdapat di dalam model dapat digunakan untuk meredam pertumbuhan kredit dan akan berdampak pada penurunan PDB (bersifat countercyclical). Hasil simulasi model juga menunjukkan bahwa penerapan bauran kebijakan moneter dan makroprudensial memiliki kinerja yang lebih baik dalam mencapai stabilitas makroekonomi dan sistem keuangan jika dibandingkan dengan implementasi kebijakan moneter dalam menghadapi technological shock. |

| Abstract: | This study aims to explain the importance of disaster education for schoolchildren in disaster-prone areas. Disaster education is intended to provide the earliest possible knowledge in the learning process to develop sensitivity to disasters. Padang as one of the areas with high risk of earthquakes and tsunamis certainly has various approaches to disaster mitigation and preparedness. Disaster education in schools as one of the approaches is expected to produce disaster-resilient schoolchildren who are more responsive and alert to disasters. This study applies qualitative descriptive. The informants are selected purposively. The data are obtained through observation, interviews, and document study. The findings indicate that disaster education in schools in Padang is carried out through three approaches, namely integration into school subjects, extracurricular activities, and local content subject. However, in reality, not all schools have carried out these activities. Thus, it is expected that disaster education is integrated into the school curriculum as a local content subject. |

| Abstract: | The phenomenon of regional income inequality, which is experienced by both developed and developing countries, might also occur at the district level. This study measured the conditions of difference at both the national and provincial level. Measured using the Theil Inequality Index, income inequality was narrowed on the national scale and varied at the provincial scale. Furthermore, panel data regression was used to find the explanatory factors of regional income inequality using data from 2010 to 2017. According to the result, general allocation funds, road and education might be significant factors in decreasing income inequality, while GDP per capita, DBH (Revenue Sharing Funds), and spatial planning policies might produce the opposite impact. There is considerable influence of natural resources on inequality, and fiscal transfers were not able to quickly overcome these conditions. The government was advised to be more considerate about the importance of underdeveloped areas through fiscal transfer reformulation, potential economic maximization, and equitable development with proper spatial planning to promote income convergence and equalize welfare. |

| Abstract: | Using a novel dataset, this paper studies the spatio-temporal dynamics of income per capita across provinces and districts in Indonesia over the 2000-2017 period. First, an exploratory spatial analysis suggests that spatial autocorrelation is only significant at the district level and it appears to be robust from 2013 to 2017. Thus, at the district level, we proceed to use a spatial filtering model for decomposing income into a spatially independent component and a spatial residual. Next, through the lens of a distributional convergence framework, we find that the non-filtered income is characterized by a lack of regional mobility. In contrast, the spatially independent component shows a pattern of polarization. We conclude arguing that neighbor effects have played a significant role in reducing regional polarization in Indonesia. |

| Abstract: | products. Besides the involvement of companies, many small-scale farms have evolved in industrial plantation of forest. There are many types of economic linkages have been establishedbetween the private forest sector and local forest planters. However, the implementation of these economic integrations has not been effective so far because the connection between the wood companies and famers has shown weaknesses and the legality of the contracts is not high. Thus, in recent time, many wood processing facilities lack raw timber materials while the planters have to sell their wood at low prices when the harvest season comes. The people whose livelihood depends on the forest are still poor, the household economy in forestry shows many limitations and much fragmentation, and the effectiveness of forest plantations, harvesting, wood processing and forestry production have not been commensurate with the potential. The purpose of this study is to examine models of agreements between wood processing enterprises and local forest communities; also initially discussing the hypothesisof the main factors that make the implementation of the timber trade contractsbecomming less effective. The papertry to find the policies recommendations and efficient solutions for developing the agreements between timber processing companies and local forest comunities. The study is a part of growing the body on the research on linkages in timber production and marketing. By finding the weeknesses of the timber trade agreements, this study will contribute to future researchs on relate topics. |

| Abstract: | This research investigates whether investors’ attention measured by Google Search Volume, has any impact over stock’s return and liquidity. The model being used to test the relationship between investors’ attention and stock’s return is the Fama French three factor model. While the model being used to test the relationship between investors’ attention and stock’s liquidity is the dynamic panel model. The research was conducted using two frequencies; weekly and monthly data. The weekly data covers 359 firms with 5 years time frame (2011-2016) in the Fama French model. The monthly data also covers 359 firms in the Fama French model with 10 years (2006-2016). The weekly data in the Dynamic Panel model covers 249 firms with 3 years time frame (2012-2015), while the monthly data covers 304 firms with 10 years time frame (2006-2016). This research found that there’s a significant and positive relation between investors’ attention and stock’s return. However, the relation only appears in the weekly model (higher frequency, shorter time frame). While the relation between investors’ attention and stock’s liquidity appears to be insignificant in both frequencies. |

| Abstract: | Trade openness and the share of the working-age population vary in different geographic regions of the world, especially, they tend to be high in Europe. Under the hypothesis that the share of the working-age population has a positive effect on trade openness, we clarify the difference of trade openness by region caused by age structure using the panel data for the following four regions in the world: Europe, Asia, America, and Africa. We estimate equations including trade openness as the dependent variable and the share of the working-age population as one of the independent variables based on fixed-effects models and conduct the Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition by region. Our empirical results show that the share of the working-age population has significantly positive effects on trade openness in three regions except Africa. Moreover, high trade openness in Europe compared with Asia or America can be explained by endowment effect of age structure and that compared with Africa can be explained by both endowment and coefficient effects of age structure. Therefore, trade openness is greatly influenced by age structure in Europe, but hardly in Africa. |

| Abstract: | Research on impression management has continuously highlighted the importance of a company’s brand equity in attracting talent. Whereas the determinants of company attractiveness are well documented, less is known about the effects of recruitment tactics, particularly in non-Western settings. We investigated these effects using survey data from 13 Japanese multinational companies (MNCs) and 436 international job seekers collected before and after a large-scale career fair held in Singapore in 2017. The unconventional setup of the fair allowed us to conduct the survey in a semi-experimental setting. Using endogeneity-robust linear, logit and probit models, we found that recruitment tactics significantly affect perceptions of company attractiveness regardless of job seekers’ pre-existing beliefs. The effect is larger in cases of high person-organization fit. The mechanism modulating this effect is the image of personnel heterogeneity a company is able to project through the characteristics of its recruiting staff. We identify the key dimensions of heterogeneity and provide estimates of the optimal personnel heterogeneity levels. Our findings build on previous research on targeted recruitment in Western settings, showing that the success of international recruitment is contingent not only on fixed firm characteristics, but also on a firms’ impression management tactics throughout the recruitment process. |

| Abstract: | This article analyzes the factors that drive the gender income difference among farmers in Cambodia with a focus on the access to formal credit, using the FinScope survey data. First, an Ordinary Least Square regression (OLS) is used to investigate the main determinants of farmers’ income, while an instrumental variable approach (IV) is estimated to check the causal effect of the access to formal credit on earnings. Next, the Blinder-Oaxaca technique is employed to decompose the gender earnings gap. Results from OLS regression show that individual education and health, farm size and other inputs, irrigation system and weather conditions, access to market and formal credit are strongly associated with farmers’ earnings, while the positive impact of access to formal credit is also confirmed by the IV regression at 5% significant level. These results suggest that improving infrastructure and formal credit access in the rural areas play a critical role in increasing farmers’ income. Then, based on the Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition technique, most of gender earnings difference is due to the endowment effect in favor of male farmers such as education, farm size and volume of work hours. Access to formal credit also contributes to the gender earnings gap, yet not in terms of endowment but coefficient effect, as a higher return to credit access for male farmers is observed. This could be due to the levels of education and financial literacy that are higher for men, allowing them to use the formal credit better. Closing the gap in education and financial literacy would therefore reduce their earnings gap. Discrimination against female farmers, not in terms of credit access, but in loan amount should be worth to consider as well, as the median of loan amounts of male farmers is higher than those of female. If such discrimination exists, it could also limit the women’s capacity to manage and invest in their farms effectively, and thus, the return to credit access must be lower for female farmers. |

| Abstract: | E-Government is the world government instrument of bureaucracy reform towards good governance and the Indonesian government has initiated the improvement of technology-based bureaucracy signed by the establishment of the State Administration Automation Coordinating Board (BAKOTAN) in 1969 and the Presidential Decree No. 20 of 2006 on the Establishment of National Information and Communication Technology Board, but its implementation has not seen. The Pariaman City Government make bureaucratic reform based technologies for achieving good governance as a priority in the Medium Term Development Plan (RPJMD) in 2013-2018. In a previous study, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is a perfect solution in reforming the bureaucracy to realize good governance but the ERP implementation is still at risk of failure. Nasir and Sahibuddin (2011) recorded as much as 72.43% of system implementation projects from 1994 to 2008 is problematic. This study aimed to analyse the readiness of the Pariaman City Government in the ERP system implementation using 4 variables: infrastructure, the rate of adoption, human resources and organizational culture which are Critical Success Factors (CSF). This research is a case study using mixed methods, embedded correlation models design and judgment sampling techniques on the orientation of the sample selection at the same time with the relationship of a stratified sample. Data analysis technique is done in stages which are infrastructure readiness of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) variable utilize documentation data analysis and description of the interview results, while variable rate of adoption, human resources and organizational culture are using questionnaire data descriptive statistics and analysis of the interview results. Based on this research, Pariaman City Government was ready to implement the ERP system with the potential strengths and weaknesses. In the variable infrastructure readiness, more than 83% of infrastructure and its supports in decent and good condition with network support and reliable security but there are still weaknesses related to non-optimal service channels, the absence of a Disaster Recovery Centre (DRC) and the inclusion of procedures for infrastructure maintenance in regulation implementers. Variable rate of adoption has potentially powerful because it is supported by ICT development documents legally enforceable, but there are weaknesses in planning procedures that are still inconsistent application. Variable human resources have the potential strength for their leaders who trusted by ASN and Parliament is able to implement information technology projects well, but its weakness is the lack of skilled ICT personnel and ASN which has computer educational background are not engaged. Variable culture of organization has potentially powerful because their awareness of the technology needs and the culture of good leadership and has a tangible manifestation in the implementation of bureaucratic reforms, but there is the disadvantage that the reluctance to change in the near future because they are in a comfort zone or the ASN difficult to break the habit of using paper documents with the manual system. |

| Abstract: | This paper explained an economic study in international trading after Asian China Free Trade Area (ACFTA) implementation using an econometrics model. On this paper, dometic fruits and vegetables as a part of holticulture commodities are used as an object of the research, where the analysis include model identification, predicting model, validating model, and economic policy simulation; hence 3 SLS is using to get a parameter value to predict and support the simulation of results. The result showed that an explanatory variable (total production) in the model can explain, the model behavior for 73.46 %, while F statistics 4.69 , which means that explanatory variable affect the endogenous variable (total export, total import, and Gross domestic Product) simultaneously and significantly. At the end, the paper conclude that the research is representative enough to explain the phenomenon of domestic fruits and vegetables market comparing to the interntional market, preferably from China fruits and vegetables commodities. Therefore, some of implications for policy are identified as well, such as (1) improvement of competitiveness domestic holticulture products which include in export tax subsidy, banking credit systems, standardization and labeling product, cost efficiency, physically and non-physcically infraturucture , complement products, and linkage programme which support the competitiveness; (2) development of agribusiness area through the central area of production and industrial area production; and (3) campaign of local product |

| Abstract: | As an undergraduate from Physics Education, I began teaching of Biology at the secondary school on 22 July 2018 until 30 June 2019 when I acceded to come back at primary school, both Islamic Madrasah. Teaching at the Islamic Madrasah is a hassle because I should consider my perspective on Islam in teaching. However, teaching at the Islamic Madrasah is not and should not be considered a burden or chore that just needs to be done. It is a crucial part of moslem scholar, as we all want to do scientifically sound research and we should all strive to be effective teachers. Through teaching, we are responsible for the education of the next generation of islamic peoples, who will use their own unique ideas and skill sets to advance their society. Teaching, in general, should not be seen as a hassle in scholar, but rather as a skill to be developed and a responsibility to be taken seriously. Teaching does not have to decrease research productivity, it can greatly enhance research if we allow it to. One of my evidence about this statement is my experience and work. After a year devoted to spruce up the teaching of Biology, I produced a series of work on scientific literacy related Biology, that continues my undergraduate thesis, which was related Physics. In these works, I wrote about my experiences teaching Biology in Islamic Madrasah. Then, I became think to reconsider my method on measuring student learning. Measuring student learning is a complicated but necessary task for understanding the student’s improvement and effectiveness of instruction. I have curious about the the difference between normalized gain g and effect size Cohen’s d for measuring the improvement of student’s scientific literacy. I used normalized gain g in my undergraduate thesis nor my first work on Biology Education, then used effect size Cohen’s d on my latest work on scientific literacy in teaching of Biology. I see need reasons for using one or both of them, to be explained in any writings on educational research. So, in this work I investigate about my curiousity. My investigation focused on the implications on claims about student learning that result from choosing between one of two metrics. The metrics are normalized gain g, which is the most common method used in Physics Education Research (PER), and effect size Cohen’s d, which is broadly used in Discipline-Based Education Research (DBER) including Biology Education Research (BER). Data for the analyses came from the research about scientific literacy on Physics and Biology Education from courses at institutions across Indonesia. The results showed that the two metrics lead to different inferences about student learning. First, normalized gain g being biased in favor of populations with higher pretest means. Second, effect size Cohen’s d may mitigate the limitations of these metric for measuring the learning of high or low pretest populations of students by accounting for the distribution of tests scores. Third, by comparing the two metrics across all data, effect size Cohen’s d is larger than normalized gain g in these cases for the same size change in the means. This work reveals that the bias in normalized gaing can harm efforts to improve student’s scientific literacy by misrepresenting the efficacy of teaching practices across populations of students and across institutions. This work, also, recommends use effect size Cohen’s d for measuring student learning, based on reliability statistical method for calculating student learning. In addition, using effect size Cohen’s d would allow scholars to use their work in subsequent studies and meta-analyses, align with the practices of the larger education research community, nor facilitating more cross-disciplinary conversations and collaborations as well. |

| Abstract: | Global online platforms match firms with service providers around the world, in services ranging from software development to copywriting and graphic design. Unlike in traditional offshore outsourcing, service providers are predominantly one-person microproviders located in emerging-economy countries not necessarily associated with offshoring and often disadvantaged by negative country images. How do these microproviders survive and thrive? We theorize global platforms through transaction cost economics (TCE), arguing that they are a new technology-enabled offshoring institution that emerges in response to cross-border information asymmetries that hitherto prevented microproviders from participating in offshoring markets. To explain how platforms achieve this, we adapt signaling theory to a TCE-based model and test our hypotheses by analyzing 6 months of transaction records from a leading platform. To help interpret the results and generalize them beyond a single platform, we introduce supplementary data from 107 face-to-face interviews with microproviders in Southeast Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. Individuals choose microprovidership when it provides a better return on their skills and labor than employment at a local (offshoring) firm. The platform acts as a signaling environment that allows microproviders to inform foreign clients of their quality, with platform-generated signals being the most informative signaling type. Platform signaling disproportionately benefits emerging-economy providers, allowing them to partly overcome the effects of negative country images and thus diminishing the importance of home country institutions. Global platforms in other factor and product markets likely promote cross-border microbusiness through similar mechanisms. |
