| Abstract: | Little attention has been paid to the impacts of institutional–human–environment dimen- sions on the outcome of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) abatement. Through the diagnostic social–ecological system (SES) framework, this review paper aimed to investigate what and how the multifaceted social, physical, and governance factors affected the success level of seven selected Asia-Pacific countries (namely, South Korea, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Indonesia, and New Zealand) in combatting COVID-19. Drawing on statistical data from the Our World In Data web- site, we measured the COVID-19 severity or abatement success level of the countries on the basis of cumulative positive cases, average daily cases, and mortality rates for the period of 1 February 2020 to 30 June 2020. A qualitative content analysis using three codes, i.e., present (P), partially present (PP), and absent (A) for each SES attribute, as well as score calculation and rank ordering for govern- ment response effectiveness and the abatement success level across the countries, was undertaken. Not only did the standard coding process ensure data comparability but the data were deemed substantially reliable with Cohen’s kappa of 0.76. Among 13 attributes of the SES factors, high facility adequacy, comprehensive COVID-19 testing policies, strict lockdown measures, imposition of penalty, and the high trust level towards the government seemed to be significant in determining the COVID-19 severity in a country. The results show that Vietnam (ranked first) and New Zealand (ranked second), with a high presence of attributes/design principles contributing to high-level government stringency and health and containment indices, successfully controlled the virus, while Indonesia (ranked seventh) and Japan (ranked sixth), associated with the low presence of design principles, were deemed least successful. Two lessons can be drawn: (i) having high number of P for SES attributes does not always mean a panacea for the pandemic; however, it would be detrimental to a country if it lacked them severely, and (ii) some attributes (mostly from the governance factor) may carry higher weightage towards explaining the success level. This comparative study providing an overview of critical SES attributes in relation to COVID-19 offers novel policy insights, thus helping policymakers devise more strategic, coordinated measures, particularly for effective country preparedness and response in addressing the current and the future health crisis. |

The research design used in research is quantitative research, by using model Lerner Index, PR-H Statistics Model, and multiple regression. Based on the results of the study, 1. Using the Lerner index model, for 10 Indonesian sharia banks, especially murabahah products with observation period 2010 - 2016, shows that the competitiveness of Indonesian sharia banks is still very low. The Lerner index for each sharia banks with competitiveness of murabahah products is Bank Mega Sharia, Bank BRI Sharia, Maybank and BSM. As for other sharia banks is still very low; 2. The measurement of market forces using the PR-H Statistics model, murabahah products of Indonesian sharia banks during 2010-2016 fall into the category of the monopolistic competition market. This indicates that, the murabahah product of each sharia banks is basically almost the same, only slightly differentiated by the deficited products in such a way between one bank and another bank; 3. Regression result model of factors affecting competitiveness, only ROA variable that influence to competitiveness, it shows that ROE variable, capitalization and efficiency not become determinant of competitiveness of a bank, especially for murabahah product. |

| Abstract: | Objective - This article aims to examine the influence of content dimensions of Organization Change Theory, such as CEO Expertise, Free Assets, Debt to Equity Ratio and Growth of Sales, on a company's turnaround ability when it is experiencing financial distress. The companies examined are listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX). Methodology – The population used in this study is companies from sectors excluding the finance sector that were listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange between 2013 and 2018. The sample size was determined using purposive sampling method. From the 109 companies that experienced financial distress, 57 have successfully turned their business around. The research data was collected from the ICMD (Indonesian Capital Market Directory), which was then analysed using multi regression technique analysis, using SPSS software to examine the determinants of company turnaround ability. Findings – The results indicate that CEO Expertise, Debt to Equity Ratio and Growth of Sales have a negative relationship on a company's turnaround ability. Meanwhile, Free Assets has a positive and significant relationship on a company's turnaround ability. Novelty – Previous studies have been conducted in many western countries, giving rise to researchers' doubts about the generalizability of research based on previous research findings when applied in developing countries such as Indonesia, particularly due to differences in regulations, conditions of distress, culture, financial systems and strategies used in overcoming distress.

| Abstract: | Objective - The number of participants in the labor social security program in Indonesia managed by BPJamsostek, namely the Labor Social Security Administering Body, is still relatively low compared to the number of people working in Indonesia. Labor social security practitioners, or Account Representatives, are tasked with carrying out the process of acquiring new participants. The competence of practitioners needs to be further investigated to ensure their performance in increasing membership coverage. Methodology/Technique - This study involved 335 practitioners in BPJamsostek branch offices in major cities throughout Indonesia. The sampling method used was purposive random sampling and the analytical tool used was descriptive statistical methods to map the perceptions and opinions of practitioners regarding their competence. Findings & Novelty - It is found that the practitioners are bachelor's degree graduates who have various educational backgrounds. This is very useful for making acquisitions of potential participants who also have diverse work professional backgrounds from both formal and informal sector workers. Career opportunities up to the highest level in the institution for practitioners are also wide enough to become Director, even as President Director. It was also found that the majority of respondents, 93.1%, stated that they were ready to face future jobs in the context of participation in social security programs for employment. However, this readiness must be supported by the competencies that must be possessed by them, because 94.0% of the respondents stated that the competency development process was important and 52.5% stated that the opportunity to obtain competency development programs was not evenly distributed among practitioners. Type of Paper - Empirical. |

| Abstract: | Indonesia is the largest country in Southeast Asia. This Thousand Island Country also ranks 15 in the list of the largest countries in the world. Where Indonesia has a very large marine area, geographically surrounded by waters and seas, has many islands, most of the population works as fishermen and has large natural and marine resources. Minister of Marine Affairs and issued regulation No. 12 of 2020 Concerning The Management Of Lobster (Panulirus spp.), Crab (Scylla spp.), And Rajungan (Portunus spp.) In The Region Of The Republic Of Indonesia.

| Abstract: | We study the labor market effects of domestic migration in Indonesia on the employment outcomes of the natives and the migrants. To address the endogeneity of migrants’ settlement decisions, we use the information on the historical migration patterns from the Indonesian censuses to construct an internal migration version of the Bartik shift-share instrument. The instrument, used widely in the study of international migration, is based on the observation that even within countries, migrants tend to move to regions with a large migrant population from their region of origin. However, if the migration patterns are unchanged over time, past migration may affect current labor market outcomes directly, violating the exclusion restriction. To overcome this, we use a multi-instrument approach that lets us account for the long-term effects of migration separately. We find that internal migration is associated with an increase in migrant employment and a decrease in native employment. Less-educated natives in loweducation regencies are most-affected. The findings suggest that policies aiming to minimize the adverse effects of internal migration should aim at improving the human capital of natives. |

| Abstract: | Tulisan ini bertujuan membawa studi atas Undang-undang Pokok Agraria (UUPA) ke arah yang lebih empirik dengan menggunakan teori-teori implementasi kebijakan publik, seperti yang dikenalkan Grindle (1980) tentang variabel konten dan konteks kebijakan. Juga teori para peneliti implementasi yang kritis yang menggunakan perspektif bottom-up dan menyoroti tindakan birokrat pelaksana. Penelitian menggunakan metode kualitatif melalui studi literatur dan fokus pada kebijakan eksekutif, tindakan birokrat dan serta konteks yang melingkupinya. Penelitian menemukan bahwa kebijakan eksekutif dengan terbitnya Peraturan Presiden Republik Indonesia Nomor 86 Tahun 2018 justeru tidak selaras dengan beberapa ketentuan UUPA. Peraturan presiden tersebut memiliki paradoks, ingin mengakomodir banyak variabel tetapi mengalami kebingungan atas tujuan utama reforma agraria. Sebagai kebijakan yang relatif top down, implementasi UUPA sebenarnya memerlukan adanya aktor yang dominan. Namun tindakan birokrat pelaksana (street level bureaucrat) telah lama mereduksi tujuan undangundang menjadi sekedar tindakan legalisasi terhadap pembukuan transaksi atas tanah yang berjalan sesuai mekanisme pasar. Kini, semakin banyaknya penduduk Indonesia yang tinggal di wilayah perkotaan membuat isu tentang tanah lebih kompleks, terkait dengan alih fungsi lahan dan berbagai tantangan pembangunan berkelanjutan. Berbagai kondisi tersebut membuat prospek implementasi reforma agraria di Indonesia setelah terbitnya Peraturan Presiden 86/2018 masih belum menggembirakan. Masih diperlukan kebijakan yang mengakomodir misi utama UUPA dan perkembangan perkotaan. |

| Abstract: | Governments seeking to provide food assistance have a choice between providing in-kind food directly to beneficiaries, or providing vouchers that can be used to purchase food on the market. To understand the differences between these policies, the Government of Indonesia randomly phased in the transition from in-kind delivery of subsidized rice to approximately equivalent vouchers usable to buy rice and eggs across 105 districts comprising over 3.4 million beneficiary households. We find the transition led to substantial changes in the allocation of aid in practice. The vouchers provided concentrated assistance to targeted households, who received 45 percent more assistance in voucher areas than in in-kind districts. As a result, for households in the bottom 15 percent at baseline, poverty fell by 20 percent. Vouchers also allowed households to purchase higher-quality rice, and led to increased consumption of egg-based proteins. We find vouchers have little effect on aggregate rice prices, although we observe modest price increases in remote villages. Overall leakage from the program was not affected, but the administrative costs of benefits delivery substantially fell. In short, the results suggest that the change from in-kind food aid to vouchers led to substantial impacts on poverty through the way it changed how programs were implemented on the ground. |

| Abstract: | Banks in developing countries are highly dependent on funding sources from abroad, and such high dependency on external funding could cause vulnerability to the sector by channeling the effects of foreign monetary policies to domestic bank lending. In this paper, we study the international transmission of monetary policy of US and banks’ major shareholders’ home countries into bank lending in Cambodia, using data on banks’ loan disbursement and balance sheets from 2013Q1 to 2019Q2. Cambodia is one of the least developed countries in the south-east Asian region, while its economy is highly dollarized and capital movement is free. This environment is likely to allow banks to transmit financial shocks into domestic lending. As a result, we find that US monetary policy affected domestic lending through the channel of foreign funding exposure, suggesting that Cambodian banks with foreign funding exposure are likely to reduce lending when there is a rise in the cost of funding from abroad. We also find that an increase in the US monetary policy rate is associated with increases in loan disbursements in secured loans, USD currency loans, and retail loans, suggesting the monetary transmission also affected loan reallocations by changing risk-taking behavior in bank lending. In addition, we find that these results are robust for US monetary policy effects, but weak and not robust for monetary policies of banks’ major shareholders’ home countries. |

| Abstract: | The best alternative for companies in Indonesia to survive in the midst of global economic uncertainty is by transforming their business and human resources, given that changes in business concepts are highly driven and patterned by advances in information technology that are exponentially increasing. The innovative steps of transformation, however, should refer to Good Corporate Governance, as an operational foundation and guarantee trust from stakeholders. The era of economic disruption requires companies in Indonesia to always generate new values in all aspects so that performance can increase and the companies are able to survive in the market by gaining positive profits. |

With this development it helps create jobs. East Java has great potential and is a major supplier of food crops, animal and horticultural needs compared to other regions in Indonesia. Therefore East Java has a higher comparative advantage because the area of East Java has adaptive climatic, soil, and topophographical conditions. For example, in Malang, Pacet, Pasuruan, Probolinggo, Kediri, and Lumajang, which have areas suitable for the development of fruits and vegetables.

| Abstract: | The absorption of quality human resources is needed by companies along with the development of investment in Indonesia and industries that meet the domestic market and increase export production. In Indonesia alone, there are nearly 50 million workers with low levels of welfare such as street vendors, manufacturers, farmers. The quality of human resources itself is influenced by the level of poverty in the country. In this case the poverty rate affects education, training and the human resource environment which is an important basis for becoming a quality workforce. A total of 18 provinces that have a medium or low HDI category include Papua, West Papua and East Nusa Tenggara, among others. Access to technology and education as well as a fairly high infant mortality rate are the main causes of the low Human Development Index, including government policies that have not prioritized the development of the quality of human resources. |

| Abstract: | So based on the results of the research that has been done, it is found that information is a deficiency in tourism development in Indonesia. Lack of information makes tourists not interested in visiting Indonesia. The government has made development in Indonesia by making an advertisement in the form of "Pesona Indonesia" by developing several new tourism spots and named as "10 new Bali destinations". It is admitted that the government's strategy in making “Pesona Indonesia” advertisements is very strategic and almost attracts tourists. However, it is unfortunate that the lack of communication and promotion makes this marketing only temporary. |

| Abstract: | The existence of Regulation of the Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries Number 12 of 2020 provides pros and cons for the government and the people of Indonesia, especially for fisheries and marine animal cultivation businesses. On the one hand, this regulation benefits several parties and on the other hand is detrimental to shrimp and lobster cultivation business actors due to complicated regulations. In fact, this policy is also related to Government Regulation Number 75 of 2015 concerning Types and Rates of PNBP so that this government regulation cannot be enforced. |

| Abstract: | Perairan Indonesia kaya akan sumber daya hayati laut, salah satunya adalah rumput laut. Rumput laut mengandung berbagai komponen yang dapat dimanfaatkan bagi kehidupan manusia. Rumput laut mempunyai berbagai jenis senyawa polisakarida diantaranya alginat, agar- agar, dan karaginan. Selain beberapa kandungan polisakarida dan senyawa bioaktif, rumput laut juga mengandung senyawa lain yaitu pigmen. Rumput laut mempunyai tiga jenis pigmen utama, yaitu klorofil, karotenoid, dan fikosianin. Setiap jenis pigmen tersebut mempunyai berbagai manfaat khususnya bagi kesehatan (Lila, 2004). Bibir merupakan salah satu bagian wajah yang penampilannya mempengaruhi persepsi estetis wajah. Kulit bibir tidak memiliki folikel rambut dan tidak ada kelenjar keringat yang berfungsi untuk melindungi bibir dari lingkungan luar. Bibir sangat rentan terhadap pengaruh lingkungan serta berbagai produk perawatan kesehatan, kosmetik dan produk perawatan kulit lainnya yang dapat menyebabkan kerusakan kulit yaitu bibir menjadi kering, pecah-pecah, dan warna yang kusam. Untuk menghindari hal tersebut, dibutuhkan antioksidan eksogen yang dapat menunda atau menghambat reaksi oksidasi oleh radikal bebas atau menetralkan dan menghancurkan radikal bebas yang dapat menyebabkan kerusakan sel. |

| Abstract: | Objective - The disruption has been occurring in financial services. Thus, rethinking a new strategy for banking is needed to make a sustainable innovation in organizations. Studies mentioned that formulating strategy is a very costly, time-consuming, and comprehensive analysis. The purpose of this study is to present an integrated intelligence algorithm for estimating the bank's strategy in Indonesia. Methodology – This study used the integration model between two modules. The algorithm has two basic modules, called Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). AHP is capable of handling a multi-level decision-making structure with the use of five expert judgments in the pairwise comparison process. Meanwhile, ANN is utilized as an inductive algorithm in discovering the predictive strategy of the bank and used to explain the strategic factors which improved in forward. Findings and Novelty – The empirical results indicate that ANN and AHP integration was proved to predict the business strategy of the bank in five scenarios. Strategy 5 was the best choice for the bank and Innovate Like Fintechs (ILF) is the most factor consideration. The strategy choice was appropriate for the condition of the bank's factors. This framework can be implemented to help bankers to decide on bank operations. Type of Paper - Empirical |

| Abstract: | In the midst of uncertainty in the world today, one of the best alternatives can be used by companies to stay afloat and generate profits is by transmuting businesses and their workforce in keeping with changing information and technology developments business patterns. The downward trend in export and import values from 2015 has made business a big deal business development in Indonesia in 2018 is limited. Economic conditions in 2018 tends to be slowing down and volatile, accompanied by the uncertainty that originates of global finance. In conditions of economic disruption (until 2020), companies are required to continue innovating and creating diversified products. But in reality, there are many companies in Indonesia still don't know what action to take. From years 2016 to 2018, business competition is becoming increasingly fierce which requires leaders or corporate boards to convert company resources into values added which is beneficial for the stakeholders. This can be done as is Good Corporate Governance (GCG) which is a set of regulations organize, process, and supervise the relationship between company managers and stakeholders increase the value and market valuation of the company. |

| Abstract: | Referring to the SWOT analysis table, the government can formulate a lobster trade and management strategy into an effort to preserve lobsters and improve the welfare of fishermen and lobster cultivators. The best step that can be taken by the government is to postpone the implementation of Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries Regulation No.12 of 2020 which is a factor in the inefficiency of production factors. Through this Regulation of the Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries, the market is very likely to experience failure in carrying out its function as a force in the allocation of production factors. Of course, this will decrease the probability of increasing the maximum social welfare for many parties. Through the postponement of Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries Regulation No.12 of 2020, the government can consider economic management strategies for lobsters, namely developing upstream-downstream supply chains, reviewing and revising all regulations related to lobster cultivation and trade, and preventing and avoiding fishing practices. illegal fish. In addition, the government can strengthen and develop the lobster sector in Indonesia by conserving lobsters in the red and yellow zones. Through this explanation, it can be concluded that Regulation of the Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries Number 12 of 2020 has a negative effect on the sustainability of lobsters in Indonesia. The negative effects that arise consist of the emergence of turmoil in power holders, the trapping of lobster cultivators on the disadvantageous side, the more dominant profits of investors, and causing the scarcity of lobster seeds in the future. The government sould consider filed condition and all the possibilities that occur before implementing a new policy. Based on the government's negligence, this failure can be considered as a failure of government intervention. Therefore, delaying the implementation of the Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries Regulation is the best way to restore the position and welfare of domestic lobster cultivators and fishermen, while reconsidering the economic management strategy for lobsters. |

| Abstract: | In the industrial era 4.0 this is an era where all companies or organizations must be preparing themselves to developing their human resources. Some global companies use a wide variety of businesses and strategies to keep their human resources ahead of others. In the 4.0 era this will definitely provide a different experience because in this industrial era the competition will be tighter and also difficult. Therefore, leaders and stakeholders of the company must always think how to maintain their human resources by innovating and competing globally. In addition, companies also need to personally shape the human resources they have through specialized training in order for them to become superior and competent individuals. |

| Abstract: | This paper examines to determine whether there is an effect of the human development index (HDI), the open unemployment rate, economic growth, and regional GRDP per capita on poverty levels in Sumatera Island. In general, the trend of the poverty rate by the province in Sumatera decreased during 2010-2019 period, however, there are five provinces which on average have a poverty rate above 11 percent (above the national average poverty rate), namely Aceh, Bengkulu, Lampung, South Sumatera, and North Sumatera. This study used a dynamic panel approach with the Random Effect Model (REM). The data source was obtained from Statistics Indonesia (BPS) for the period 2010-2019. The results showed that the HDI variables and economic growth had a negative and significant effect on poverty levels in Sumatera Island. Meanwhile, the variables of the open unemployment rate and regional GDP per capita have a negative and insignificant effect on poverty levels in Sumatera Island. Simultaneously, it is concluded that the independent variables overall affect the poverty level. The coefficient of determination is 65.6370 percent, which means that variations in the level of poverty can be explained by the independent variables by 65.6370 percent and the remaining 34.3630 percent is explained by other factors out of the model. |

| Abstract: | This paper examines the effects of the imposition of an interest rate ceiling in the microfinance sector in Cambodia in 2017, based on a household survey undertaken in 2019. Evidence indicates that the average interest rate was reduced after the imposition of the ceiling. Although this reduction is partially offset by the increase of the average loan assessment and processing fee, the average effective interest rate (i.e., credit cost) declined. The results also show the increase in the average loan size from formal sources at a relatively small level and the increase in the percentage of loans from informal sources by a few percentage points. Moreover, we find that relatively low-income households face a higher probability of being rejected for loans and a higher debt service ratio is positively associated with a larger loan amount. This implies the possibility of the increase of the debt burden occurring among relatively small borrowers, given that an increase of the average loan size at relatively small loan levels is observed. The evidence supporting the important role of financial literacy in reducing household debt burden is also confirmed. |

| Abstract: | This paper introduces a new dataset of commodity-specific, bilateral import data for four large Asian economies in the interwar period: China, the Dutch East Indies, India, and Japan. It uses these data to describe the interwar trade collapses in the economies concerned. These resembled the post-2008 Great Trade Collapse in some respects but not in others: they occurred along the intensive margin, imports of cars were particularly badly affected, and imports of durable goods fell by more than those of non-durables, except in China and India which were rapidly industrializing. On the other hand the import declines were geographically imbalanced, while prices were more important than quantities in driving the overall collapse. |

| Abstract: | Abstract Rural communities of origin play an important role in harnessing the development potential of overseas remittances. This role is to enable and ensure an economically competitive locality for all entrepreneurs and investors (including town mates working and residing abroad). This qualitative case study research illustrates the local economic competitiveness conditions of two rural municipalities in the Philippines. Assessing local economic competitiveness will help ascertain the roles being played by local communities and their authorities. Findings here can also provide indications on how overseas town mates’ remittances have changed in response to prevailing local competitiveness conditions. Qualitative findings here were part of a mixed methods tool, called the Remittance Investment Climate Analysis in Rural Hometowns (RICART), which employed the rapid rural appraisal (RRA) method. A global framework and a nationally applied index on local economic competitiveness were used as guides to analyze RRA findings. It was found that these municipalities have prevailing bottlenecks that limit the economic competitiveness of the locality—and the situation may deter prospective migrant town mates abroad from investing and doing business in their hometowns. Not surprisingly, interventions of local governments to improve their local investment conditions matter. |

| Abstract: | A randomized experiment among poor entrepreneurs tested the impact of exogenously inducing higher financial aspirations. In theory, raising aspirations could have positive effects by inducing higher effort, but could also reduce effort if unmet aspirations lead to frustration. Treatment resulted in more ambitious savings goals, but nearly all individuals fell far short of reaching these goals. Two years later, treated individuals had not saved more, and actually had lower borrowing and business investments. Treatment also reduced belief in the amount of control over one’s life. Setting aspirations too high can lead to frustration, leading individuals to reduce their economic investments. |

| Abstract: | We follow 3,512 (of 1.4 million) applicants to a government lottery that randomly allocated visas to Bangladeshis for low-skilled, temporary labor contracts in Malaysia. Most lottery winners migrate, and their remittance substantially raises their family's standard of living in Bangladesh. The migrant's absence pauses demographic changes (marriage, childbirth, household formation), and shifts decision-making power towards females. Migration removes enterprising individuals, lowering household entrepreneurship, but does not crowd out other family members' labor supply. One group of applicants were offered deferred migration that never materialized. Improved migration prospects induce pre-migration investments in skills that generate no returns in the domestic market. |

| Abstract: | Indonesian business competition in the era of 4.0 has flocked to prepare to improve human resource development to advance in the global market. This is certainly a smart thing for company leaders to take new steps in the era of technological developments with shifting demographic patterns. That it will be experience changes in the science-based economy in increasing the urge to continue to innovate. In the last 3 years, the Indonesian economy has grown to more than 5% and for Pandemic COVID-19 2020 will be at the 6% level. The government has committed to building the global competitiveness of the manufacturing industry in accelerating the implementation of industry 4.0. In the fourth wave of the industrial revolution era, it requires connections and interactions with integrated technology intervention, information and communication in order to achieve efficiency and product quality improvement of productivity. Business of towards competition in this global market is in the form of superiority in the use of technology that leads to efficiency. Industry 4.0 is characterized by the use of information technology, artificial intelligence, and automatic machines or vehicles since 2011. |

| Abstract: | Sustainable food systems are fundamental to ensuring that future generations are food secure and eat healthy diets. To transition towards sustainability, many food system activities must be reconstructed, and myriad actors around the world are starting to act locally. While some changes are easier than others, knowing how to navigate through them to promote sustainable consumption and production practices requires complex skill sets. This handbook is written for "sustainable food systems innovators" by a group of innovators from Asia, Africa, the Americas and Europe who are leading initiatives to grow, share, sell and consume more sustainable foods in their local contexts. It includes experiences that are changing the organizational structures of local food systems to make them more sustainable. The handbook is organized as a "choose your own adventure" story where each reader – individually or in a facilitated group – can develop their own personalized learning and action journeys according to their priorities. The topics included in this handbook are arranged into four categories of innovations: engaging consumers, producing sustainably, getting products to market and getting organized. |

| Abstract: | This study examines the correlation of economic policy uncertainty (EPU) across countries and regions. Using correlation analysis, the findings reveal that some countries have a positive EPU correlation while other countries have a negative EPU correlation. The economic policy uncertainty index is positively correlated and jointly significant for EU member-countries. There is evidence of cross-regional positive correlation. Also, the EPU correlations are significant for Europe, non-EU countries and the region of the Americas during the global financial crisis, which suggest that financial crises are a contributory factor that drives the correlation of economic policy uncertainty in certain regions. |

| Abstract: | This article investigates why gig economy workers who see themselves as self-employed freelancers also engage in collective action traditionally associated with regular employment. Using ethnographic evidence on the remote gig economy in North America, the United Kingdom, and the Philippines, we argue that labour platforms increase the agency of workers to contract with clients and thus reduce the risk of false self-employment in terms of the worker-client relationship. However, in doing so, platforms create a new source of subordination to the platform itself. We term this phenomenon ‘subordinated agency’, and demonstrate that it entails a ‘structured antagonism’ with platforms that manifests in three areas: fees, competition, and worker voice mechanisms. Subordinated agency creates worker desire for representation, greater voice, and even unionisation towards the platform, while preserving entrepreneurial attitudes towards clients. |

| Abstract: | Population growth and increasing public awareness of health increases demand for fruit and vegetables from year to year, both in quality and quantity. However, the increase in demand for fruit and vegetables has not been supported by supply or supply from production centers, thus increasing the increase in imports of fruits and vegetables to meet domestic demand. Several factors cause a reduction in the supply of products to the market each year between the price of the harvest of the product which doubles, but falls, so that fruit and vegetables are not sold and become spoilage. The problem, the government revealed that the problem occurred because of the bad trading system and limited innovation or technology. Where, the trading system is still controlled by economic actors (wholesalers) who can control prices. The limited information received by the farmers and the existence of a transportation and distribution network channel means that the products harvested cannot be sent to other areas quickly, so that most fruits and vegetables are easily damaged. |

| Abstract: | Climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing policymakers worldwide, and the stakes are particularly high for Asia and the Pacific. This paper analyzes how fiscal policy can address challenges from climate change in Asia and the Pacific. It aims to answer how policymakers can best promote mitigation, adaptation, and the transition to a low-carbon economy, emphasizing the economic and social implications of reforms, potential policy trade-offs, and country circumstances. The recommendations are grounded in quantitative analysis using country-specific estimates, and granular household, industry, and firm-level data. |

| Abstract: | Successful mangrove tree regeneration is required to maintain the provision of wood for silviculturally managed mangrove forest areas and to ensure mangrove rehabilitation in disturbed areas. Successful natural regeneration of mangroves after disturbance depends on the dispersal, establishment, early growth and survival of propagules. Focusing on the Matang Mangrove Forest Reserve (MMFR) in Peninsular Malaysia, we investigated how the location of a mangrove forest patch might influence the early regeneration of mangroves after clear-felling events that regularly take place on an approximately 30-year rotation as part of local management. We used Landsat-derived Normalized Difference Moisture Index (NDMI) annual time series from 1988 to 2015 to indicate the recovery of canopy cover during early regeneration, which was determined as the average time (in years) for the NDMI to recover to values associated with the mature forests prior to their clear felling. We found that clear-felled mangrove patches closer to water and/or to already established patches of Rhizophora regenerated more rapidly than those farther away. In contrast, patches located closer to dryland forests regenerated slower compared to patches that were farther away. The study concludes that knowledge of the distribution of water, hydro-period and vegetation communities across the landscape can indicate the likely regeneration of mangrove forests through natural processes and identify areas where active planting is needed. Furthermore, time-series comparisons of the NDMI during the early years of regeneration can assist monitoring of mangrove establishment and regeneration, inform on the success of replanting, and facilitate higher productivity within the MMFR. |

| Abstract: | Identity norms are an important cause of inequalities and talent misallocation. I lever- age a unique opportunity to observe students exogenously allocated to classes across a close-to-nationally-representative set of Vietnamese schools to show that more exposure to female peers during childhood causally decreases the extent of agreement with tradi- tional gender roles in the long-run. This shift in attitudes is accompanied by changes in actual behavior: employing friendship nominations I find that male children have more female friends and spend more time with them outside school. Moreover, both their intensive and extensive margin contributions to home production increase in the short- and the long-run. These results are novel in the attitudes formation and in the long- term effects of peers literature and are important in informing optimal class allocation. Academic spillovers from female classmates are much weaker. |

| Abstract: | In a more skillful parlance, sustainable livelihood thinking can be likened to the reality of sustainability agenda, which according to Mores et al. (2009) incorporate: (i) A set of guiding principles for development intervention within communities or directed at individuals, which should be evidence-based through meaningful involvement of those directly affected; and (ii) An appreciation of available assets and their vulnerability, and the role of institutions in regulating access to assets, capable of helping thought stimulation on what ‘is’ and what ‘can’ be done in pursuit of livelihood needs analysis. As the incidence of COVID-19 unveil itself in the world economy, there is a need to focus attention in deconstructing discourses pertaining to the Sustainable Livelihood Framework (SLF) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) in a bid to address ways of minimising human vulnerabilities in the world economy. The concept of sustainable livelihoods has dominated developmental efforts in under-developed economies, typically in Africa, Latin America and some parts of Asia (Cline-Cole and Robson, 2016; Clarke and Carney, 2008; Amalric, 1998; Cline-Cole, 1998). Decent living condition has been a challenge for people in the under-developed economies; this is partly due to the peculiarity of structural bottlenecks experienced by individual economies, which include poor management of state owned enterprises and institutionalized corruption that impede citizens’ access to essential livelihood assets (Jackson and Jabbie, 2020; Jean, 2002; Thompson and Porter, 1997). In cognisance of these issues, poor people are mostly left to settle in shanty locations, usually associated with poverty, while the means of access to livelihood assets like arable land and social capital are almost nonexistent for the poor to utilise (DFID, 2000). |

| Abstract: | This paper extends previous literature by assessing the drivers of tax effort in a large panel of 122 countries over the period 1980 to 2017 and refining the analysis to regions, periods, income group, and economic development level. Our focus is on five blocks of determinants, namely: economic, fiscal, openness, structural, and political. We find that tax effort is influenced by all blocks, although results differ per income group. Tax effort in advanced economies is driven by all blocks of drivers, except political variables, while openness, structural, and political blocks prevail in developing economies. There is no consistency regarding the determinants across the four regions (Latin America, Africa, Europe and Asia). We also find that during the first two decades under analysis, tax effort is mainly associated with both higher levels of countries’ tax revenues and the role of the agricultural sector in the economy, while from 1999 onwards the determinants are mainly driven by left-wing ruling governments and the economic and fiscal blocks of variables. Our results are robust for a battery of sensitivity and robustness tests. Taken all together, our findings suggest the existence of heterogeneous impacts, which implies that policies resulting in improvements in the level of tax effort can affect countries in different ways. |

| Abstract: | This report focuses on two categories of homeworkers in the Philippines: industrial homeworkers, who assemble or fabricate goods for factories, retailers or their agents under subcontracting arrangements; and online workers, who render services to their clients or employers via telecommunications technologies and digital platforms. Using new data generated from focused group discussions and interviews with industrial homeworkers, an online survey of online “freelance” workers, and interviews with key informants, this report provides valuable insights into workers’ motivations for engaging in homework, patterns of employment relationships, and working conditions, while comparing the two types of homework, and female and male workers. Entry into homework remains gendered. Child care and family care continue to be the principal driving force for women regardless of income level and educational attainment. Women dominate industrial and digital homework, even as many men take up online work as a principal occupation due to its flexible work schedule and higher pay. Issues of job insecurity, precarious and irregular earnings, exclusion from statutory health insurance and social security, disguised employer-employee relationships, and lack of legal recourse for nonpayment of wages cut across both types of homeworking. Fairly high salaries and output- based payments coexist with meagre and volatile earnings in online work, while poverty wages are the mainstay of industrial homework. The value to women of earning, no matter how small, while caring for their children and family cannot be ignored. For them, this is vital and empowering. Nonetheless, the absence of effective governance that ensures homeworkers of fair working conditions and income security, combined with the lack of alternative care support and arrangements, exposes women and men to risks of exploitation, robs them of bargaining power, and traps many in poor quality jobs. An appropriate governance framework for homework is indispensable but not sufficient. Through self- organization and collective action, homeworkers can demand for better governance and State action, claim their legal rights, raise their bargaining position, and minimize a race to the bottom among their ranks. |

| Abstract: | Objective - The research objective of this paper is to establish an efficient awareness model of emergency supplies dispatching for tropical cyclone disasters, so as to timely deliver emergency supplies to each disaster area at the lowest cost. Methodology/Technique - Taking the disaster caused by super typhoon No.1409 "Rammasun" to cities and counties in Guangxi as an example, 24 counties (districts) belonging to 7 prefecture-level cities with more than 1000 people in need of emergency transfer and resettlement are selected as the research objects. Findings - The linear programming method is used to establish two kinds of emergency supplies dispatching models: level-by-level centralized dispatching model and unified dispatching model of provincial emergency management center. By comparing the calculation results of the two models, it is found that the level-by-level centralized dispatching model adopted by Guangxi government departments is relatively high in cost although it is simple and convenient. Novelty - The total cost of the improved unified dispatching model of provincial emergency management center is 31.72% less than that of the level-by-level centralized dispatching model, which has greater promotion value. The research results can provide a better reference for the government departments at all levels in Guangxi to formulate the emergency supplies dispatching scheme for tropical cyclone disasters. Type of Paper - Empirical. |

| Abstract: | In this study we explore whether more complex economies are better shielded against exogenous shocks. We contribute to the empirical literature on determinants of output volatility by introducing a relatively new index on productive capabilities of export goods, the Economic Complexity Index (ECI), developed by Hausmann et al. (2014). The ECI measures the productive capabilities of countries by explaining the knowledge accumulated in a population based on the goods they produce and export and to which countries they export. As such, not only does this measure capture diversification but also the technology embedded in the products. Using panel data analysis for a cross section of countries from 1984 to 2016, we find variations in the effects of ECI on output volatility between high and low income countries. For high income countries, increases in ECI reduce output volatility in the short to medium term (under 3 years), whereas we observe a longer delay in output volatility moderation for low income countries. The findings suggest that low income countries have less diversified and less complex export goods which leave them open to external shocks and reduce their ability to adjust quickly to the shocks. Furthermore, disaggregation by regions reveals that economic complexity in Asia is relatively more effective at reducing output volatility than in Africa. The difference between the two regions could be due to Africa’s primary production and exports being in relatively homogenous goods with no differentiation and subject to the volatility of world markets. |

| Abstract: | Objective - To explore the impacts of monetary and fiscal policies, the appropriateness of both policies and how the stock market is affected by their adoption and implementation in the United States (US). Hence, this study aims to determine the short and long run relationships between monetary and fiscal policies and stock market performance as well as establish potential factors and policies contributing to the highs and lows. Methodology/Technique - We use autoregressive distribution lag (ARDL) developed by Pesaran et al. (2001) to achieve the objective. In this study, annual time series data from the Federal Reserve, World Bank, and International Monetary Fund, from 1986 to 2017 pertaining to the American economy, was used. Findings - The results show that both policies play a significant role in the stock market. We find a significant positive effect of real gross domestic product (RGDP) and the interest rate on the US stock market in the long run and significant negative relationship effect of the consumer price index (CPI) and broad money on the US stock market both in the short run and long run. On the other hand, this study only could support the significant positive impact of tax revenue and significant negative impact of real effective exchange rate on the US stock market in the short run while in the long run are insignificant. Novelty - As the US stock market heavily depends on the Tax Revenue in the short run, any changes in TR can impact on the US stock market considerably. Thus, shareholders can benefit from these results when they look at macroeconomic data in order to enhance their investment strategy. Type of Paper - Empirical. |

| Abstract: | In this study, we introduce a mixed copula-based vector autoregressive (VAR) model for investigating the relationship between random variables. The one-step maximum likelihood estimation is used to obtain point estimates of the autoregressive parameters and mixed copula parameters. More specifically, we combine the likelihoods of the marginal and mixed Copula to construct the full likelihood function. The simulation study is used to confirm the accuracy of the estimation as well as the reliability of the proposed model. Various mixed copula forms from a combination of Gaussian, Student-t, Clayton, Frank, Gumbel, and Joe copulas are introduced. The proposed model is compared to the traditional VAR model and single copula-based VAR models to assess its performance. Furthermore, the real data study is also conducted to validate our proposed method. As a result, it is found that the one-step maximum likelihood provides accurate and reliable results. Also, we show that if we ignore the complex and nonlinear correlation between the errors, it causes significant efficiency loss in the parameter estimation, in terms of Bias and MSE. In the application study, the mixed copula-based VAR is the best fitting Copula for our application study. |
