The theory captures the impact of subsidies for schooling, and the impact of the income tax. The second objective is to provide empirical tests using Indonesian data focus on the differences among income groups in investing in schooling and the differences in this decision as between primary and junior secondary levels of education.The model that is developed here is an intergenerational life-cycle model which is dynamic in nature. There are six basic assumptions of the model. First, the unit analysis is the family and parents are the decision maker for the family. Second, the time period is that of the parents' lifetime. Third, there is no market for borrowing or lending for purposes of financing human capital investment. Fourth, the financial sources for children's schooling therefore are parents' disposable income, the children's disposable income, and government subsidy. Fifth, the costs of education are including both the direct costs and the indirect costs. Sixth, the interest rate for consumption purposes, r, is exogenous.The empirical results are obtained by using two Indonesian cross-section data sets, the 1992 National Socio-Economic Survey and the 1992 National Labor Force Survey. Three methods of estimation are used, two-stage logistic regression, the Cox-Proportional Hazard Method and two-stage least squares.The results conclude that: first, the family in Indonesia regards their demand for children's schooling not only as a consumption good but also as an investment for the family. Therefore, the children's expected earnings are very important factors in the household decision concerning children's formal schooling in primary and junior secondary school. Second, the higher the tuition and fees, the lower both the probability of enrollments in school and the duration of schooling. The sensitivity of this probability of enrollment and duration to tuition is greater in the lower income groups. These effects also are stronger at the junior secondary level, where fees in general has been higher.Made available in DSpace on 2011-05-07T13:15:38Z (GMT).

    Undang-undang No. 22 tahun 1999 tentang otonomi daerah yang luas telah menyadarkan dan menggugah pemerintah daerah akan pentingnya menggali dan mengembangkan potensi daerah yang selama ini belum tergali secara maksimal. Rencana pengembangan Pelabuhan Niaga merupakan salah satu upaya yang dapat mempercepat laju pertumbuhan ekonomi dan kesejahteraan untuk masyarakat Kabupaten Rembang dan sekitarnya. Posisi Kabupaten Rembang berada di antara 1110.00’–1110.30’ BT dan 60.30’–70.60’ LS yang diapit oleh dua pelabuhan besar, yaitu Pelabuhan Tanjung Emas Semarang dan Pelabuhan Tanjung Perak Surabaya, menyebabkan posisi Pelabuhan Rembang menjadi cukup strategis. Untuk mengetahui kelayakannya,maka dalam studi ini di susun sebuah rencana pengembangan pelabuhan dengan pentahapan jangka awal (Tahun 2008–2020), jangka menengah (Tahun 2021–2030) dan jangka akhir (Tahun 2031–2038). Untuk menilai kelayakan secara ekonomi dipergunakan indikator Benefit Cost Ratio (B/C Ratio), Internal Rate of Return (IRR) dan Pay Back Period (PBP). Berdasarkan analisa pertumbuhan/proyeksi arus barang, arus kapal, pendapatan dan biaya investasi selama periode tahun 2008 sampai tahun 2038 diperoleh hasil bahwa nilai NPV positif (NPV > 0), nilai B/C = 1,014 (B/C >1), nilai IRR = 12,2951% (IRR >I = 12%), jangka waktu pengembalian investasi atau Pay Back Period selama 11 tahun atau pada tahun 2019. Dari hasil perhitungan tersebut secara financial Pengembangan Pelabuhan Niaga di Kabupaten Rembang layak untuk di laksanakan

    The rapid transition to distance education caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has forced some higher education institutions to implement distance learning systems as soon as possible. The period, prior to the  implementation, to select the appropriate software was in some cases  limited in time. A partial consequence of his limitation was the lack of  an integrated approach for selecting criteria and their subsequent use  to assess the benefits of a particular system. Under such conditions the decisions should be made on an imperative base without considering the requirements of some user groups. Objective. The study  aims to assess the effectiveness of choosing a learning management system using a matrix of criteria, which  significance degree determined by only a key group. Besides, the article evaluates the effectiveness of applying general criteria to choose  software in modern market of distance learning systems. Method. As an assessment method, the author uses a multi-criteria selection based on  a matrix of criteria. Each of the criteria’s weight and significance are determined analytically based on a survey of university teachers. Results. The work results are expressed in specific data - ranking  systems using the chosen method, as well as recommendations to select criteria taking into account their expert or analytical assessment.  Conclusions. The conclusions drawn from the study indicate the  inadequacy of applying criteria, which significance confirmed by a focus group involved in the software product operation and maintenance. The  author marked the necessity to use unique selection criteria reflecting each educational institution capabilities and needs individually.Стремительный переход к дистанционной системе образования, вызванный пандемией COVID-19, вынудил ряд учебных заведений высшего образования в кратчайшие сроки внедрить системы удаленного обучения. Предшествующий внедрению период выбора соответствующего программного обеспечения в ряде случаев был ограничен. Частным следствием такого ограничения стало отсутствие комплексного подхода к выбору критериев и их последующему использованию для оценки преимуществ той или иной системы. Решения в подобных условиях могли приниматься в императивном порядке и не  учитывать требования некоторых групп пользователей. Целью исследования является  оценка эффективности выбора системы управления обучением с применением матрицы критериев при условии, что степень значимости критериев определена лишь одной ключевой группой. Кроме того, в статье оценивается эффективность применения общих критериев выбора программного обеспечения в условиях сегодняшнего рынка систем дистанционного обучения. В качестве метода оценки применялся многокритериальный  выбор на основе матрицы критериев. Вес и значимость каждого из критериев определены аналитически, на основании опроса преподавателей высшего учебного заведения. Результаты работы выражены в конкретных данных – ранжировании систем с применением  выбранного метода, а также рекомендациях по выбору критериев с учетом их экспертной  или аналитической оценки. Выводы, сделанные в результате исследования,  свидетельствуют о недостаточности применения критериев, значимость которых определяется одной из нескольких фокус-групп, участвующих в эксплуатации и  обслуживании программного продукта. Также отмечена необходимость использования  специальных критериев выбора, отражающих возможности и потребности каждого учебного заведения в отдельности
