The Impact of Household Poverty on Child Abuse in Indonesia
Full text linkResearch Originality: This study utilizes the expenditure approach as a measure of poverty and incorporates household-level factors to assess their impact on psychological and physical child abuse in Indonesia.Research Objectives: This study aims to analyze the impact of household characteristics, especially variations in poverty status on the risk of child abuse in Indonesia.Research Methods: This study uses Social Defense Module of the 2020 National Socio-Economic Survey (Susenas) data and the logistic regression model.Empirical Results: The results showed that children in households living below the poverty line have the highest probability of experiencing psychological and physical abuse. Factors that also increase the likelihood of abuse are female-headed households, unemployment, low education levels, households with only boys and/or children aged 6-12 years, and living in rural areas.Implications: These findings highlight that child protection and abuse prevention policies should focus more on economic and social interventions, with poor households as the primary target.JEL Classification: D19, I31, I32, J13How to Cite:Rohadatul’aisy, N., Hardiawan, D., & Sihaloho, E.

Gen Z’s Work Paradigm Shift: Determinants of Gig Economy Choice in Surakarta
Full text linkResearch Originality: The mixed-method approach combines quantitative and qualitative data, thereby providing a more comprehensive view of work preferences among the younger generation.
Research Objectives: This research examines Generation Z\u27s work preferences about the gig economy in Surakarta.
Research Methods: A mixed method was used, employing Atlas.ti for qualitative analysis and logistic regression for quantitative analysis.
Empirical Results: Atlas.ti mapping identified five main categories in the gig economy: type of work, purpose of work, legal guarantees, barriers, and advantages and disadvantages. Logistic regression results revealed that income, reduced work stress, flexible arrangements, and work environment significantly influence Generation Z’s decision to engage in gig work. In contrast, age, gender, and education level showed no significant influence on the choice to work in this sector.
Implications: These results highlight the need for legal frameworks that ensure fair protection and social benefits for gig workers, including health insurance, pension schemes, and fair wage standards.

The Impact of Digital Technology on Environmental Quality: Empirical Evidence from Indonesia
Full text linkResearch Originality: This research investigates how digital technologies influence environmental quality in Indonesia.Research Objectives: This study examines the impact of digital technologies and socioeconomic variables on environmental quality in Indonesia.Research Methods: This study employs the System-Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) approach and analyzes data from 2013 to 2023. Key variables include digital technology, gross regional domestic product (GRDP), foreign direct investment (FDI), and mean years of schooling.Empirical Results: Computer ownership negatively impacts environmental quality due to higher energy consumption and e-waste. In contrast, GRDP improves environmental quality as wealthier regions invest in green infrastructure and stricter policies. FDI has a harmful effect, supporting the ‘pollution haven’ hypothesis of resource exploitation and unsustainable practices. Education fosters environmental awareness, though its influence is still limited.Implications: Digital technologies can enhance environmental quality, requiring strategic planning and continuous innovation by central and local governments.JEL Classification: O11, O13, Q56How to Cite:Kartiasih, F., Rosanti, H.P., Miswa, S.D., & Hakim, A.R.

Substitution or Complementarity? Sukuk–Bank Performance Resilience in Indonesia’s Dual Banking System
Full text linkResearch Originality: This study examines whether sukuk serves as a substitute or complement to banks, offering new insights into the resilience and vulnerability of Indonesia’s dual banking system under macroeconomic shocks.
Research Objectives: To examine the evolving sukuk–bank performance relationship before and after the 2020 global recession, and its implications for financial stability.
Research Methods: Quarterly data (2015–2023) from 6 Islamic and 15 conventional banks are analyzed using a dynamic panel System GMM model to address endogeneity and bank-specific heterogeneity.
Empirical Results: Prior to the crisis, the development of the sukuk market significantly reduced the profitability of Islamic banks, indicating a substitution effect. After the crisis, the negative impact on Islamic banks weakened, suggesting partial complementarity. Inflation widened margins, money supply reduced them, and GDP growth benefited only conventional banks.
Implications: Aligning sukuk market growth with banking strategies can strengthen resilience, enhance competitiveness, and support stability in dual banking systems.

Employment as the Missing Link: Full Mediation of Minimum Wage Effect on Per Capita Income in Central Java
Full text linkResearch Originality: This paper is original by explicitly analyzing employment as a mediating variable in the relationship between minimum wage and per capita income, given the inconclusive findings of previous research on these variables.
Research Objectives: This study investigates the relationship between minimum wage and per capita income and examines the mediating role of employment with two control variables: government expenditure and education.
Research Methods: This study utilized secondary data from BPS covering 35 districts and municipalities in Central Java Province over the period 2018–2023. The study applies panel-data regression, complemented by mediation analysis using path analysis and the Sobel test.
Empirical Results: The minimum wage does not directly affect per capita income; instead, its impact is fully mediated by employment. The finding suggests that the minimum wage alone does not raise per capita income; rather, it exerts its influence indirectly by improving employment, which in turn drives income growth. As control variables, government expenditure and education exert positive and significant effects on per capita income.
Implications: A minimum wage policy must be accompanied by job-creation strategies. A minimum wage increase without policies that maintain or increase jobs will not effectively boost per capita income.

Factors of Halal Industry Ecosystem Development: A Study on the Islamic Hospital Industry in Indonesia
Full text linkResearch Originality: This study offers originality by examining Islamic hospitals, a sector that has been rarely explored in halal industry research. It employs a quantitative approach to analyze how knowledge and perception influence public intention, with preference serving as a mediating variable, providing new empirical evidence for strengthening the halal ecosystem in healthcare services.
Research Objectives: This study aims to investigate the impact of knowledge and perception factors on public intentions to use sharia-certified hospitals, with preference serving as a mediating variable.
Research Method: A quantitative descriptive approach was employed, utilizing primary data collected through questionnaires and analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) method. Respondents consisted of individuals living in areas with the presence of Islamic hospitals.
Empirical Results: The results showed that knowledge and perceptions have a significant influence on community preferences. Perceptions and preferences are also proven to affect people\u27s intentions in choosing Islamic hospitals, while knowledge does not show a direct impact on intentions. Preference acts as a mediator in the relationship between knowledge, perception, and intentions.
Implications: The findings underscore the significance of education in enhancing public knowledge, promoting positive perceptions, and developing effective marketing and regulatory strategies to strengthen the position of Islamic hospitals within the halal ecosystem development in Indonesia.

The Impact of Investment and Labor Force Participation on Poverty in Aceh: The Mediating Role of Per Capita Income
Full text linkResearch Originality: Poverty remains a persistent challenge in Aceh Province despite multiple interventions. This study contributes to the literature by examining both the direct and indirect effects of investment and labor on poverty, as measured by per capita income, using path analysis.
Research Objectives: The study aims to examine the impact of Labor Force Participation Rate (LFPR), Domestic Investment (DI), and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) on poverty, with per capita income (PCI) as a mediating factor.
Research Methods: Time-series data from 2009 to 2023 were analyzed using path analysis to identify direct and indirect relationships.
Empirical Results: Findings show that per capita income has the most substantial effect in reducing poverty. DI significantly influences poverty, both directly and indirectly, while LFPR and FDI exhibit no significant impact; however, both trends show a negative correlation with poverty.
Implications: Poverty alleviation strategies should prioritize income growth through domestic investment optimization and enhancing workforce quality.

Currency Risk and Debt Maturity: Their Effects on the Resilience of Indonesia’s Foreign Exchange Reserves
Full text linkResearch Originality: This study uncovers the unexpected negative impact of long-term external debt on Indonesia’s foreign exchange reserves, challenging conventional beliefs about debt stability.
Research Objectives: This study provides important—and occasionally surprising—new insights into the dynamics of Indonesia\u27s external debt and its impact on the country\u27s foreign exchange reserves.
Research Methods: Using recent time series data from 2013–2024 and the tried-and-true OLS regression method, this study provides a thorough and timely analysis of the relationship between Indonesia\u27s foreign exchange reserves and the structure of its external debt.
Empirical Results: The empirical results indicate that long-term debt has a negative impact on foreign exchange reserves, whereas Rupiah and foreign currency-denominated debts have positive effects. Notably, short-term debt shows no significant impact. These findings offer practical guidance for Indonesia’s external debt management, supporting better debt prioritization and enhanced financial resilience.
Implications: These novel insights offer valuable guidance for optimizing debt management to strengthen Indonesia’s financial resilience and economic stability.

Spending More, Fewer Casualties? Leveraging Governance in Local Disaster Management
Full text linkResearch Originality: This research introduces a quantitative framework for evaluating the effectiveness of local government disaster management strategies in Indonesia, specifically during the pre-disaster and emergency response stages—an area previously underexplored in existing qualitative-focused literature.
Research Objectives: This study evaluates the effectiveness of disaster management in reducing losses from natural disasters, focusing on two main stages: the pre-disaster and emergency response stages. Pre-disaster is measured by the documented availability of the Disaster Management Plan and the emergency response aspect through emergency spending.
Research Methods: This study employs fixed-effect estimation using panel data from districts and cities across Indonesia spanning 15 years, from 2008 to 2022.
Empirical Results: The study\u27s results indicate that RPB effectively reduces the death rate from natural disasters, whereas the realization of BTT shows the opposite result.
Implications: These findings indicate that local governments should improve the quality of their RPBs and regularly prepare them to mitigate disaster risk effectively. Additionally, the government needs to assess and improve the flexibility of the BTT implementation mechanism, enabling its immediate use during the initial emergency response stage and thereby reducing death rates from natural disasters.
