Pricing Strategy for a Smart-Tourist Area: Does Location Matters?
Full text linkThis study aims to investigate the effect of hotel characteristics, particularly their locations, on room pricing strategy for hotels in the Bogor Area, Indonesia. The author applies the quantile hedonic regression model on a dataset of Bogor Hotels collected through a travel agent’s website. A total of 194 hotels were collected and used as data samples. Our findings suggest that locations near tourist attractions are a significant factor in explaining hotel room prices in the Bogor area, while in contrast, the city center location is not. In addition, we also find that hotel room size and stars-awarded have significant positive effects on room rates. The outcomes of this study advocate for the continuation of fine-tuning the existing pricing strategy adopted by hoteliers to optimize revenue
The Effect of Corporate Governance Regulation on the Profitability of Insurance Companies in Indonesia
Full text linkThis study is driven by the growing importance of insurance companies in Indonesia and corporate governance as determinants of their profitability. Corporate governance is crucial in insurance companies as they provide instruments for risk transfers and savings mechanisms and promote investments in an economy. Our research examines the impact of implementing good corporate governance regulation POJK 73/2016 on the profitability of insurance companies in Indonesia. Using samples of all listed Indonesian insurance companies across 200 observations by employing LSDV panel data and 2SLS models, we found that the regulatory reform is negatively related to the company’s profitability and thus reduces performance. The outcomes of this study advocate for the continuation of fine-tuning of existing regulations so it could deliver the stated objectives
The Effect of Covid-19 Pandemic on Stock Market Volatility: Tales from Two Sectors
Full text linkThis study investigates the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the volatilities of two sectoral indices in Indonesia. The primary objective is to empirically examine the relationship between the occurrence of the pandemic, volatility, and trading volume. The authors employ GARCH modeling to analyze the two measurements, incorporating the Covid-19 variable as an external regressor. Data samples from two distinct sector indices of the Energy and Technology sectors in the Indonesian Stock Exchange are utilized, encompassing the periods before and after the initial Covid-19 case in Indonesia
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
The Role of Credit Guarantee Schemes for Financing MSMEs: Evidence from Rural and Urban Areas in Indonesia
No full textMicro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) play a significant role in the Indonesian
economy, however most MSMEs have difficulties in accessing finance. The Credit Guarantee
Scheme (CGS) is a popular program for guaranteeing bank lending to MSMEs by the
government. The objective of this research is to evaluate and compare the performance of the
CGS in rural and urban areas of Indonesia. The data used in this research are from the
Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) 2007 and 2014. We looked at the role of microfinance
as a bridge for MSMEs to access credit, however our results show that this role does not
function optimally for MSMEs that have no credit guarantee. MSMEs that do not have a credit
guarantee do not have much opportunity to access credit from formal microfinance institutions.
In addition, MSMEs in rural areas have significantly fewer opportunities to gain access to credit
from formal institutions than MSMEs in urban areas
