| Abstract: | Humans can only try but God is the one who decides, when the government is full of optimism with economic growth which since 2016 – 2019 has been sharply corrected not in line with expectations, although many doubt it because it is too dreaming in the midst of the world's economic downturn and macro and micro indicators that are not supportive . At the end of 2019 the world was shocked by a humanitarian disaster, namely Covid-19 which started from Wuhan, China and spread throughout the world. Many observers say that Covid19 has spread to Indonesia but the government denies it and many ministers underestimate it and even make it a very unfunny joke. It was only on March 2, 2020 that the government announced that Covid19 had entered Indonesia. The government began to panic especially the people, people stormed shopping centers so that basic commodities became scarce even if they were available, the prices were very expensive, health products disappeared from the market because there were many inappropriate purchases and many people hoarded them in the hope of getting high profits. The government seems to be in a dilemma between the economy or the safety of its people, both of which are very important, especially since Indonesia's economic growth is largely influenced by public consumption. Now that we have entered the second year of Covid19, there are no signs that mean that covid19 will disappear in the world and especially in Indonesia on June 10-16, 2021, the surge affected by Covid19 is getting crazier, even as if it is out of control at the athlete's house in Jakarta, the occupancy is approaching 80%. has exceeded the limits set by the WHO, West Java, Central Java and East Java. The higher spike makes people more nervous and makes it more difficult to survive |

| Abstract: | As we know, the Indonesian economy experienced a deflation of 0.1% in July 2020. This occurred in the food, beverage and tobacco category, which experienced a deflation of 0.79%. and contributed 0.19% to deflation. Foodstuffs that contributed to deflation included shallots, free-range chicken, rice, garlic, cayenne pepper, and sugar. Deflation in July and August 2020 was triggered more by falling prices for a number of food, beverages, and transportation, increasing demand amid the Covid-19 pandemic. Trends in other countries show that inflation and deflation are beating supply and demand. in 4 countries such as Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand and Laos involving 3,831 MSME respondents explained that the contribution of MSMEs to Gross Domestic Product in these 4 countries was more than 50%. The enactment of the region had a negative impact on MSMEs, but some MSMEs continued to operate despite experiencing a decline in income of more than 40%. |

| Abstract: | The Indonesian economy experienced deflation of 0,1% in July 2020. One of the reason is because the Covid-19. The recovery of MSMEs cannot be separated from the information technology, considering that digitalization is the key so that enterpreneurs can survive and develop amid the Covid-19. The policy of the government’s to provide business credit to ultra-micro and small businesses as well as social assistance for the poor and victims of termination of employment is believed to be capable to save Indonesia’s economy from recession. |

| Abstract: | Di masa pandemi, perekonomian Indonesia lebih baik dan lebih berkembang, mengingat sektor lain mengalami penurunan, seperti pangan. Untuk itu, ada banyak kategori di sektor ekonomi yang perlu diperhatikan, yakni bisnis dari kelas bawah hingga kelas menengah. Untuk bisnis kelas menengah bisa berupa UMKM dan retail. Namun yang paling disorot oleh investor atau pelaku bisnis adalah UMKM yang semakin berkembang dengan teknologi saat ini. |

| Abstract: | Indonesia during the pandemic restored the economy by increasing SMEs. This ultimately leads to an increase in the economy and creativity of the Indonesian people. This increase and interest need to be developed with support from the government and ease of access so that business processes can be run smoothly and more widely. A SWOT analysis is needed to make it easier for SMEs to understand what strategies are needed to run a small business so that it can become a big business. |

| Abstract: | The paper estimates the steady state economic growth rate of Vietnam, defined as the equilibirum that the economy converge without new shocks. The method employs a bayesian structural vector autoregressive model (BSVAR) which captures the Triffin policy trilemma at international financial integration. On a quarterly sample over Q2/2008-Q4/2019, the evidence records that the steady state growth based on Minnesota prior is 6.13%. This result is robust by normal-diffuse prior, normal-wishart prior and timely average method. For policy implication, the Vietnam government's objective of annual growth rate at 7.0% over 2021-2030 can only be attained for economic expansion periods. |

| Abstract: | Objective - The purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between compensation and work environment on performance through job satisfaction. Methodology/Technique - The population in this study is 150 employees from a State-Owned Bank. The sampling method uses census techniques so that the number of samples used is 150 employees. The research data was collected using a questionnaire, which is then analyzed using a path analysis technique (SPSS software) to examine the relationships among the constructs, which are: compensation, work environment, job satisfaction and performance. Findings - The results of this study indicate that compensation has a significant relationship between job satisfaction, and the work environment has a significant relationship on job satisfaction. The results also prove that compensation has no relationship on performance, work environment has a significant relationship on performance, and job satisfaction has a significant relationship on performance. The results of this study also indicate that as an indirect effect, compensation has a significant relationship on performance through job satisfaction and the work environment has a significant relationship on performance through job satisfaction. Novelty - Previous studies have been carried out in many western countries, raising doubts about generalizations in the same research results in developing countries such as Indonesia. Therefore, the novelty in this study is carried out in the context of developing countries, especially in State-Owned Banks in West Kalimantan, Indonesia. Type of Paper - Empirical. |

| Abstract: | Objective - The existing literature contains no studies examining the issue of coffee culture and cultural heritage in the context of coffee brands' websites evaluations. There are some well-known local coffee manufacturer brands in Indonesia and Malaysia respectively, and some of them are actually created by immigrated Chinese businessmen many decades ago. This study aims to delineate an understanding on digital representation of coffee culture and cultural heritage of Chinese Indonesian and Malaysian coffee brands through discourse methods associated with the analysis of intertextuality, and/or content which refers to content in other presentation forms and texts. Methodology/Technique - These coffee brands' websites reinforce local identities, through the creation and diffusion of a discourse of identification. Computer-mediated discourse analysis (CMDA) was carried out by focusing on one coffee brand in Malaysia and Indonesia respectively whose owners are Chinese diasporas. This study follows the basic methodological orientation of CMDA which is language-focused content analysis. Findings - The results indicate that the Malaysian coffee brand accommodates Malaysia Chinese culture and heritage while the Chinese Indonesian coffee brand does not illustrate its own ethnic roots in all digital branding and marketing activities. Both brands in this study prioritise the coffee process technology on their websites. Novelty - The existing literatures primarily discusses food culture from sociohistorical perspective. Coffee cultures have been increasingly transnational in both Indonesia and Malaysia. Some earlier studies talked about the dynamics of coffee production in these regions, however, this study specifically examines the discourse of coffee culture represented by the most representative coffee brands in these two countries where little attention is given to their websites and relevant content patterns. |

| Abstract: | The number of MSMEs that are starting to grow very much in Indonesia, assisted by the sophistication of technology that is increasingly developing makes MSMEs very able to get the public market. The convenience that is obtained through online shopping is more felt by the people of Indonesia, making swords now starting to compete to collaborate with various existing platforms to keep getting customers and customers don't run to other stores. Digitalization has proven to be able to support the economic recovery program due to Covid-19, making the central, provincial, district and city governments including BUMN and BUMR carry out development and empowerment efforts for MSMEs in Indonesia. |

| Abstract: | " Objective - Even with corporate tax avoidance being extensively studied, it is still lacking a single universal measurement. There is also a dearth of studies focusing on developing economies such as Malaysia. This study, therefore, analyses the correlations between effective tax rates (ETRs) and book-tax differences (BTDs), which are the most commonly used measures of corporate tax avoidance on Malaysian listed companies for ten years. Methodology/Technique - This study performs distribution, frequency, and correlation analyses on the ETRs and BTDs of the Top 300 companies listed in the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia based on market capitalization. The data used spans a ten-year period from 2010 to 2019. Findings - The results of the distribution, frequency, and correlation analyses show that both these measures are closely related gauges of corporate tax avoidance. Novelty - The results of this study provide further statistical proof that ETR and BTD measures of corporate tax avoidance are closely related. Its utilization of data from listed companies in Malaysia expands the current body of literature by addressing corporate tax avoidance practice in a developing economy. By concentrating on both ETR and BTD measures, this study's analysis is consistent with the broad continuum of corporate tax avoidance spectrum and significantly reduces the risk of warping its determination of tax avoidance level. Type of Paper - Empirical." |

| Abstract: | As we know that economic growth is one indicator of a country's economic performance. Experts state that small traders are business actors with relatively small capital who carry out production activities or sell goods and services to meet the needs of certain groups in society. From a business development perspective, small traders, such as warungs, street vendors or hawkers, and small-scale shops are micro-enterprises that operate informally. The emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic had a negative impact on 84.7% of MSMEs, the average income fell significantly by 53%, and around 72% of MSMEs experienced a decrease in income of more than 40%. MSMEs have a very large role in the Indonesian economy. |

| Abstract: | In Malaysia, there is a declining trend in agricultural productivity and crop yields due to various climate events in the recent years. Therefore, this study aims to examine the impacts of climate change, especially El Nino and flood, on the financial performance of Malaysian agro and plantation firms. The study used a panel data set on 33 Malaysian agro and plantation firms listed in Bursa Malaysia for the period of 2003 to 2016. A panel of regression models including GMM, Pooled OLS, Random Effect and Fixed Effect were used to analyze the data. The results show that both the El Nino and flood have significant negative impact on the firms’ financial performance as measured by ROA and ROE. The findings indicate that climate change results in reduction of agricultural production which reduces revenue and consequently the profit of the agro and plantation firms. The study findings might help the firm managers as well as policy makers to take into consideration the environmental factors that affect the overall financial health of the firms and take appropriate adaptation and mitigation policies to climate change at firm level and macro level in the country. |

| Abstract: | In 2020 the minister of maritime affairs and fisheries of the Republic of Indonesia issued regulation number 12 of 2020 concerning the management of lobsters, crabs and crabs in the territory of the Republic of Indonesia. There are several troubling issues, namely as follows: 1. approval of fishing gear previously prohibited from use, including among others shrimp, payang, cantrang and the like that are classified as trawlers; 2. policies that allow the export of lobster seeds. It is feared that this will trigger horizontal conflicts between fishermen, which are increasingly rampant, because so far conflicts have often occurred with fishermen regarding the use of fishing gear that is not environmentally friendly. |

| Abstract: | " Objective - Covid-19 is a disaster that impacts various sectors of life, one of which has an impact on a country's tax revenue. Tax incentives are one of the policy steps that the Indonesian government has taken to face the economic strike due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This study aims to examine the factors that influence the implementation of employee income tax policies during the Covid-19. Methodology/Technique - This is a qualitative research using an interpretive paradigm with phenomenological methods. The data of this study are the results of observations and interviews with Corporate Taxpayers, Tax Experts, and Tax Officers. Based on the results of the interview, there are several factors that affect taxpayers' willingness to take advantage of this policy, including the ease of submitting incentives, certainty not to be audited, and not adding to the company's burden. Findings - Employers take advantage of this incentive, namely the company has an interest in maintaining the internal stability of the company. The provision of this incentive will increase (at least maintain) the purchasing power of workers and create a conducive business atmosphere. So, it is true that entrepreneurs will flock to take advantage of this facility. Novelty - This policy is expected to reduce the burden on business activities and help improve the condition of the company's cash flow, particularly during and after the epidemic. Thus, the company is expected not to terminate employment. If this condition occurs, there is potential for the national economy to keep moving, both in terms of production and consumption. Type of Paper - Empirical." |

But not everything has changed, namely in the traditional village of Sinar Resmi, Sukabumi Regency, a village that holds fast to tradition even though times have changed, a simple life, mutual cooperation and the same fate. The vast expanse of agricultural land with suitable gardens without a touch of modernization, ways of socializing with mutual cooperation and hospitality and courtesy towards parents, leaders, fellow students and guests are still upheld. The extraordinary natural beauty that is very beautiful makes you feel at home and comfortable like heaven on earth, it's only natural that someone says that God is smiling when he creates it. |

| Abstract: | Credible and well-functioning governance is crucial for the value creation of firms. Recently, private sectors have undergone substantial changes by focusing on good governance as a tool to enhance value, reputation, and image. The primary features of firms with good governance include greater emphasis on accountability practices, proper implementation of a corporate integrity system, and sound internal controls in place to avoid risk and to ensure policy and procedures that are complied. Government Linked Companies (GLCs) as the backbone of the Malaysian government have been harshly criticised for not being able to create value(s) despite receiving high priority in the process of getting government projects. Therefore, this study aims to examine the role of good governance systems, which are reflected through accountability systems, corporate integrity systems, and internal control systems towards value creation of Malaysian GLCs. This study collected primary data based on a set of questionnaire survey among 100 GLCs in Malaysia. Based on the regression analysis, this study found that corporate integrity systems and internal control systems were vital elements in ensuring value creation in GLCs. |

| Abstract: | This study is taken to describe the relationship between the levels of debt, dividend policy and the performance of firms listed in Vietnamese stock market. The dividend policy is proxied by the dividend yield while firm’s performance is measured by ROE, ROA, and P/E. The total number of observations is 552, collecting from 92 listed companies on Hochiminh Stock Exchange during 2012 and 2019. The analysis results from generalized least squares (GLS) models report that the choice of firm’s performance proxy affects the relationship between firm’s performance and leverage as well as dividend policy. While leverage has positive impact on ROE and ROA, it has negative impact on P/E. In contrast, dividend yield ratio is negatively correlated with ROA and P/E but positively correlated with ROE. However, the impact of debt levels on firm’s performance is independent with the choice of leverage proxy. The findings of this research are expected to provide better understanding about the connection between debt, dividend and performance of the firm that can support the managers to make relevant decisions. |

Data analysis from the interviews using the information obtained from the interview into categories and using content analysis to determine proposals. Findings - The research results found that competitive advantage and firm performance was high. The hypothesis testing results show that only the age of the community enterprise has an effect on the image of the community enterprise with the statistical significance of 0.05. All 3 independent variables composed of cost leadership, differentiation, and market focus had an influence on firm performance, by standardized coefficients (ß) was .398, .426, .654 respectively. Novelty - The proposals from this research include the establishment of newly geminated parboiled rice community enterprises to accelerate the creation of the organization image to be known and accepted by consumers. Further, community enterprises should focus on developing a competitive advantage that comes from a market focus strategy. This will have a positive impact on firm performance.Type of Paper - Empirical. |

| Abstract: | Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) at the beginning of the pandemic experienced a drastic decline. People are still too shocked by the situation that requires all activities to be limited. But slowly but surely with more free time due to government programs, namely study from home and work from home, making people look for ideas to make a living and be productive. In the third quarter, the Indonesian economy improved slightly, although its economic growth was still minus, but was better than the previous quarter. This turned out to be due to one of them, namely the emergence of several new MSMEs that began to move people's purchasing power. |

| Abstract: | Based on the data above, it can be said that MSMEs have a significant role in the Indonesian economy. However, this has changed because since 2020 the performance of MSMEs has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. This is unavoidable, as we know the Indonesian economy has also experienced a decline due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Central Statistics Agency noted that economic growth throughout 2020 contracted 2.07 percent on an annual basis. The contraction was caused by the weakening in various sectors as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. |

| Abstract: | The purpose of the study is to analyse the financial ratios of the 7-Eleven Malaysia Sdn Bhd. A number of financial ratios are estimate and analyse. For example, profitability ratios, liquidity ratios, solvency ratios, working capital management, and stock market performance. Data is collected from the Annual Report of the 7-Eleven. The study concludes that the liquidity ratios of 7 eleven were not efficient at all. The gearing ratio trend indicates that 7 eleven suffered a huge risk of going bankrupt in 2016 and 2017, it just managed to do fine in 2018. Moreover, there was an extremely low return on investment recorded for all the five years. Hence, keeping all the findings in consideration, it can be said that even though 7 eleven is doing good in terms of profitability, it is still not a good idea to invest in the company. |

| Abstract: | A large body of research documents the existence of discrimination against migrants and ethnic minorities in the labour market. This study investigates for Austria, to what degree employment discrimination against ethnic minorities is mitigated, when they abstain from following the Austrian norm of including a photograph to their job application that would make their ethnicity salient or when they hold a local sounding name. In our correspondence test, we found that with matching ethnic names and ethnic photographs, black but not Asian job applicants suffered from discrimination. With a local sounding name, blacks (but not Asians) bettered their employment chances. Although photographs may facilitate ethnic discrimination, we did not find that their omission improved minorities' labour market chances. On the contrary, Asians were penalised for leaving out their photograph. Indeed, if candidates did not attach photos despite the convention to do so, we found statistically significant discrimination not only against black, but also Asian applicants. |

| Abstract: | Objective - Honey has been identified statistically, from an extensive record of scholarly journals and media reports, as one of the most adulterated ingredients. It has a long history of dilution, substitution, misrepresentation of floral sources, and geographical origin. Despite the growing reported honey adulteration cases, the global honey market has been retaining its dominance. According to Market Research Future, honey demand estimates to flourish at a substantial growth rate of 7.22% during the forecast period of 2017-2023. Increasing demand and commercial value of honey motivate falsification and adulteration in honey. This paper aims to examine the underlying factor of honey fraud's existence and prevalence by reviewing the core issues in honey quality assurance from a commercial standpoint. Methodology/Technique - This paper reports on the industry scale of honey fraud using data from existing food fraud databases. Honey fraud cases from Food Adulteration Incidents Registry (FAIR) and Food Fraud Summary Month Reports were extracted, reviewed, and summarized. Finding - The findings begin with an overview of past cases and current standing of honey fraud, followed by identification of the types of fraudulent practices on honey, and lastly, highlighting the challenges in fighting honey fraud. Findings conclude the scale of honey fraud which is widespread and interconnected across the world. Honey fraud includes fraudulent admixing with sugars or lower quality honey and incorrect labeling of honey's geographical origin or floral source. Challenges in combatting honey fraud are primarily due to financial motivations for producing and selling fraudulent honey and low control measures in the traceability system. Novelty - This paper reports on the scale of honey fraud in the industry using data from the existing food fraud database. Compared to the abundance of research reporting on the latest most advanced detection method for honey authenticity, this paper examines the underlying factor on the existence of honey fraud and the fundamental control measure to be taken.

| Abstract: | The increase in dollarisation in Cambodia has been contrary to the general belief that macroeconomic and political stability help reduce dollarisation. We provide so far the first explanation for this counterfactual phenomenon. In doing so, this paper develops a theoretical model based on the framework ofUribe (1997) by including a dollar pricing index to amplify the network effects of using a foreign currency (denoted dollar). The dollar pricing index, a proportion of an economy denominated by the dollar, reduces the dollar’s transaction cost, thus increasing its usage in the economy. This increased use of the dollar further improves the experience of using it, hence results in higher usage of dollar in the price quotation. The positive interaction of using the dollar as a unit of account and a means of payment causes dollarisation continues to rise, even though the economy has achieved low inflation and political stability. |

| Abstract: | This study investigates the short-term and long-term impacts of economic growth, trade openness and technological progress on renewable energy use in Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries. Based on a panel data set of 25 OECD countries for 43 years, we used the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach and the related intermediate estimators, including pooled mean group (PMG), mean group (MG) and dynamic fixed effect (DFE) to achieve the objective. The estimated ARDL model has also been checked for robustness using the two substitute single equation estimators, these being the dynamic ordinary least squares (DOLS) and fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS). Empirical results reveal that economic growth, trade openness and technological progress significantly influence renewable energy use over the long-term in OECD countries. While the long-term nature of dynamics of the variables is found to be similar across 25 OECD countries, their short-term dynamics are found to be mixed in nature. This is attributed to varying levels of trade openness and technological progress in OECD countries. Since this is a pioneer study that investigates the issue, the findings are completely new and they make a significant contribution to renewable energy literature as well as relevant policy development. |

| Abstract: | We propose a general framework for empirically assessing a central counterparty's capacity to cope with severe financial stress. Using public disclosure data for global central counterparties (CCPs), we show how to estimate the probability that a CCP could cover any specified fraction of payment defaults by its members. This framework supplements conventional standards of risk management such as Cover 2, and provides a comparative and comprehensive approach to assessing risk protection across CCPs that is not predicated on a specific number of member defaults. We apply the approach to a wide range of CCPs in different geographical jurisdictions and asset classes and find that there are substantial differences in protection coverage. In particular, large European CCPs appear to be significantly safer than their counterparts in Asia-Pacific and North America. These differences are also reflected in supervisory data that provide CCP members' risk assessments of the CCPs to which they belong. |

| Abstract: | The world economy is increasingly shaped by cross-border production and investment activity. The paper uses complex network analysis along with panel data econometric techniques to study the structure and interactions between the networks of global value chains (GVC) and foreign direct investment (FDI). The analysis reveals that both FDI and GVC networks have a distinct core-periphery structure dominated by a relatively small number of countries with the USA constituting the global hub interlinked with regional European and Asian clusters, which, in turn, are centered around regional hub countries like China and Germany. Simultaneous equation model regressions using three-stage least squares suggest that FDI centrality facilitates GVC centrality of countries. However, FDI centrality is driven to a large extent by the FDI statutory restrictions and tax offshore regulations, rather than GVC connectivity. |

| Abstract: | While there is now much evidence in the literature that assignment to ethnically-congruent teachers results in better student outcomes like achievement and teachers' evaluations of their behavior for Black and White students, findings appear to be noticeably mixed for Hispanic students. This paper shows that a potential reason for the mixed findings for Hispanic students lies in the fact that previous studies have not adequately accounted for the cultural background of students and teachers. Unlike existing studies, which define matches to occur when a student and teacher report having the same race, I define matches to occur only if the student and teacher report having both the same race and native language. The rationale is that race and native language together provide a more complete picture of ethnic identity compared to only race. Employing a student fixed effects strategy, and comparing two different teachers' evaluations of the same student, I find that Hispanic students receive more favorable evaluations from Hispanic teachers who share the same native language than Hispanic teachers who speak a different native language or non-Hispanic teachers. This suggests that more coherent findings may emerge if researchers additionally consider native language in defining ethnic matches. |

| Abstract: | Agriculture is considered to be a vital aspect of Algeria’s national economy and rural development. Achieving sustainable agricultural production, generating employment, reducing imports and minimising post-harvest crops losses are the major objectives of the Algerian government. However, based on the evaluation of existing policies, this study found that poor governance is hampering the agriculture sector, particularly in terms of management of financial resources, where most financial investments are made only for short-term gains. The lack of awareness about the importance of post-harvest practices and lack of using modern technology threaten the growth of this sector. Adopting sound post-harvest methods can reduce food losses and wastage in every stage of the food supply chain, and integration of modern techniques, skilled labour, and education training systems are very important if agriculture in Algeria is to progress. |

| Abstract: | Existing studies typically find that natural disasters have negative economic consequences, resulting in, at best, a recovery to trend after initial losses or, at worst, longer term sustained losses. We exploit the unexpected nature of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami for carrying out a quasi-experimental difference-in-differences analysis of flooded districts and sub-districts in Aceh. The Indonesian province saw the single largest aid and reconstruction effort of any developing world region ever afflicted by a natural disaster. We show that this effort triggered higher long-term economic output than would have happened in the absence of the tsunami. |

| Abstract: | This paper develops and estimates a small open economy real-business cycle model to study the dynamics of Cambodian current account. Differing from previous studies, we include net unilateral transfers and net foreign direct investment (FDI) as additional sources of macroeconomic fluctuations. We show that these two sources explain the variations in current account better than the shocks that are widely identified in the literature (i.e. productivity and interest rate). Our model captures Cambodia’s saving-and investment behaviour and matches well the evolution of its current account. Specifically, the measurement error is nearly 4% and the correlation between data and model is around 0.93. As a step further, using our well-fitted model, we predict the future trend of Cambodian current account in the context of negative shocks in productivity, remittance, FDI and COVID-19 pandemic. |

| Abstract: | The accomplishments of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) have been criticised for inaccurately portraying the land redistribution in the Philippines. Evidence has largely been anecdotal in nature. Examining the breakdown of the accomplishments as to region and type may reveal several important findings that aggregate accomplishment numbers conceal. But cross-validating official redistribution results with data from a different government agency offers an even more unique way to prove or disprove the claims of agrarian reform authorities. This study complements earlier investigative studies by examining whether the decennial Census of Agriculture and Fisheries can offer corroboratory or contradictory evidence to published accomplishments. A ‘farm holding redistribution’ ratio and ‘land use change’ ratio were computed for this purpose, and analysed together with regional average farm size, farm holding Gini, tenure arrangements across time. Furthermore, it looks at the change in farmland distribution before and during the CARP implementation. After scrutinizing the official accomplishments and CAF data, the findings reveal that indeed, CARP accomplishments failed to translate into landownership for small farm operators. However, there is a dim reflection of achieving its stated goals in regions that implemented more compulsory acquisition and in continuing past programs prior to the enactment of CARP. |

| Abstract: | Non-farm informal businesses comprise the majority of the firm distribution in developing countries. We document novel stylized facts about entry and exit of informal, non-farm firms using nationally representative panel data over 15 years and across regions with varying levels of local economic development in Vietnam. First, we find that informal businesses exhibit rates of entry and exit around 14-18% annually. Entry and exit rates are similar and highly correlated at a point in time, within industries, and within regions. They both decline over time and across space with economic development. Second, although market selection influences which firms survive, entry and exit has little net effect on aggregate (revenue) productivity or hiring of workers outside the household. This owes to overlapping labor productivity of entering and exiting firms and low subsequent productivity growth and hiring among the surviving entrants. Nonetheless, entry and exit are associated with large changes in individual income. Third, the large overlap in revenue of entering and exiting informal businesses and the high correlation between entry and exit rates are related to the education of owners and their economic activities before and after operating an informal business. Informal business owners are less educated on average than wage workers in the formal sector, but more educated than agricultural workers. The transitions in and out of operating an informal business reflect the underlying structure of economic activities of the working age population, with education gaps also playing a role. The most common transition into non-farm businesses is to and from self-employment in agriculture. The likelihood of this transition declines with economic development, highlighting the role of net entry from agriculture into informal non-farm businesses in structural change. |

| Abstract: | Islamic economics is at an important crossroads. Leading scholars have continued to reassess the journey so far in its development, offering fresh looks into its future directions. At the core of all the debates on the development of Islamic economics lies the need for standard texts that would guide the teaching of the new discipline. Islamic economics: Principles and analysis, published forty-two years after the formal ‘birth’ of the nascent discipline, represents one of the most important steps in that direction. This paper makes a critical review of the book and offers some insights towards its further improvement. The book has succeeded remarkably in summarizing, evaluating, and simplifying the most important materials on the concept, philosophy, principles, methodology, and frontiers of Islamic economics. It details the analysis of such topics as Islamic microeconomics, macroeconomics, economic development, Islamic finance, Islamic social finance, and the challenges and future directions of Islamic economics. It stands unique given its coverage of essential topics, the caliber of scholars that contributed chapters and made reviews, as well as its rigorous editorial process. Even with areas that need improvement, it is envisaged that the book can spark a new wave of convergence towards consensus on some key concepts in Islamic economics. يَقِفُ الاقتصاد الإسلامي عند مفترق طريق مهم. وهذا ما حدا بكبار العلماء والباحثين إلى إعادة تقييم المرحلة لهذا العلم، مع السعي الحثيث إلى تقديم نظرة جديدة لاتجاهات المستقبل. تتمثل القضية الجوهرية في النقاش المتعلق بتطوير الاقتصاد الإسلامي في الحاجة الماسة إلى كتب مرجعية من شأنها الإسهام النوعي الجاد في تدريس هذا الحقل المعرفي الجديد. يُعد كتاب " الاقتصاد الإسلامي: المبادئ والتحليل"، الذي نُشر بعد اثنين وأربعين عامًا من "الولادة" الرسمية للنظام الناشئ، إحدى المُبادرات المُهمة في هذا الاتجاه. تُقَدِّم هذه الورقة مراجعة علمية للكتاب وتستعرض بعض الأفكار من أجل مزيد من التحسين. لقد نجح الكتاب بشكل ملحوظ في تلخيص وتقييم وتبسيط أهم المواد المتعلقة بمفهوم وفلسفة ومبادئ ومنهجية وحدود الاقتصاد الإسلامي، يتضح ذلك من خلال جملة الموضوعات التي يُغطيها الكتاب؛ مثل الاقتصاد الجزئي الإسلامي، والاقتصاد الكلي، والتنمية الاقتصادية، والتمويل الإسلامي، والتمويل الاجتماعي الإسلامي، والتحديات والتوجهات المستقبلية للاقتصاد الإسلامي. والكتاب فريد من نوعه نظرًا لتغطيته للموضوعات الأساسية، ولمكانة ومستوى العلماء والباحثين الذين أسهموا في إعداد فصوله المتنوعة أو قدموا مراجعات، بالإضافة إلى عملية التحرير المهنية. ومع الإقرار بوجود مجالات وموضوعات تحتاج إلى تحسين -كأي جهد بشري-، من المؤمل أن يُسهم الكتاب في إطلاق موجة جديدة من التقارب نحو الإجماع حول بعض المفاهيم الأساسية في الاقتصاد الإسلامي، التي من شأنها أن تكون مفيدة للمتعلم في هذا التخصص الجديد. |
