| Abstract: | " Objective - This study examines how financial literacy affects Indonesia's millennial generation's financial behavior and investment decisions. This study will also look at the influence of financial literacy as mediated by financial behavior on the millennial generation's investment decisions. Methodology/Technique - This research utilizes quantitative methods. The demography for this study is the millennial generation in Jakarta, Indonesia, which comprises 15, 575 people. A non-probability and purposive sampling strategy were used to sample 100 people. The analytical tool makes use of path analysis and Smart-PLS. Result - According to the study's findings, basic financial literacy does not impact the millennial age's investment decisions or financial behavior. Advanced financial literacy cannot impact the investment decisions of the millennial generation in Jakarta, but it can influence their financial behavior. The millennial generation's financial behavior might impact investing decisions. Basic financial knowledge does not influence Millennial investing decisions as mediated through financial behavior. Advanced financial literacy can influence Millennial investing decisions as mediated through financial behavior. Novelty - This research is expected to be a reference for the millennial generation in making investment decisions. The millennial generation is expected to increase financial literacy and improve financial behavior in making investment decisions. Type of Paper - Empirical" |

| Abstract: | To recognize the importance of investment flows as one of the components of development, ASEAN member countries have created the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) 2015 blueprint as guidelines for setting up a free and open investment regime in ASEAN. The enactment of AEC makes the issue of foreign direct investment (FDI) in Indonesia more attractive. However, an increase in FDI is followed by uneven absorption of FDI in various regions of Indonesia. The implementation of regional autonomy, which gives more authority to governors, allegedly influence investors’ decision to invest. This study aims to determine whether the disclosure of openness and the presidential election have an influence on FDI inflows across 30 provinces of Indonesia. This study employs panel data regression with a fixed effect model. The findings suggest that the level of openness and political variables contribute to the absorption rate of FDI inflows in the regions. |

| Abstract: | This study was conducted to analyze and measure the impact of land registration on economic growth in provinces in Indonesia. The study suggests that there is a possibility of unobserved heterogeneity that may influence the outcome variable, namely geographical conditions, which include land area in each province and the number of land areas that have not been certified. Further information regarding these two factors still needs to be sought. Using panel data from 34 provinces in Indonesia for ten years (2010-2019) and a fixed effect panel method to overcome the unobserved heterogeneity bias, this study found that a 1 percent increase of land registration increases a province’s gross domestic product per capita by a significant 0.12 percent, after controlling for other factors. These findings align with previous studies that suggest that land registration influences society's welfare through increased access to financial credit. |

| Abstract: | " Objective - The purpose of this study is to empirically analyze the impact of the power status of audit committees and multiple blockholders on accrual earnings management. Methodology – This study applied a quantitative research method with secondary data from the annual report. In this research, manufacturing companies were used as samples listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange with a total of 4 years ranging from the period of 2018 – 2021. This research used multiple regression with fixed effect driscoll-kraay standard error. Findings – It is revealed that multiple blockholders have a positive impact on accrual and real earnings management, while the power status of the audit committee has no impact on accrual and real earnings management. It can be implied that in Indonesia, multiple blockholders play a significant role in increasing earnings management, and audit committees' power cannot reduce earnings management in the presence of multiple blockholders. Novelty – Previous literature argues that the power of audit committees should be bigger than management to control earnings management. However, in the context of Indonesia, where a concentrated ownership structure is prevalent, multiple blockholders can play a significant role in earnings management. This study is the first to analyze the negative effect of multiple blockholders in the country, which is dominant with a concentrated ownership structure. If multiple blockholders enjoy the private benefits of control through earnings management, the audit committee's power over management would be useless." |

| Abstract: | " Objective - This study aims to prove whether the earnings quality of family businesses is better than non-family businesses to address two conflicting theories regarding the quality of family business earnings: agency theory and socioemotional wealth theory. Methodology/Technique - This research uses a regression model to examine the influence of family business/non-family business characteristics on earnings quality. To obtain robust results, this research measures earnings quality using 5 measurement proxies, including measurements of available opportunities for earnings management, earnings management practices, earnings persistence, earnings restatement, and investor responsiveness to earnings quality. The screening sample was carried out on firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the period 2016–2020, resulting in 932 research observations. Findings - Overall, this research proves that FB earnings quality is better than NFB earnings quality. The results of this study extend the implementation of socioemotional wealth theory in explaining the characteristics of FB, in which the characteristics of FB and non-FB have an impact on earnings quality. Novelty - Financial statement analysts can utilize the results of this study in interpreting earnings quality based on the characteristics of FB and NFB. Type of Paper - Empirical" |

| Abstract: | " Objective - A Bank is a financial institution that collects and distributes funds to the public to obtain Profitability. The Covid-19 pandemic has affected the economic sector, especially the banking sector. The intermediation function needs to run optimally, increasing investment in secondary reserves, decreasing operational efficiency, increasing credit risk, and reducing bank profitability. The research aimed to determine the effect of Banking Intermediation, Secondary Reserves, Operational Efficiency, and Credit Risk on Profitability at Regional Development Banks in Indonesia for the 2019 – 2022 period, partially and simultaneously. Banking Intermediation is measured by the ratio of credit to total third-party funds (Loan to Deposit Ratio/LDR), Secondary Reserve is measured by the percentage of securities held to third-party funds (TPF), Operational Efficiency is measured by the ratio of operating expenses to operating income (OEOI), Credit Risk is measured by Non-performing Loans (NPLs), and Profitability is measured by Return on Assets (ROA). Methodology – Descriptive and verification methods with a quantitative approach will be used in this study with secondary data from published financial reports from 22 Regional Development Banks in Indonesia. The data analysis technique used is multiple linear regression. Findings – The study's findings show that partially LDR has a positive and significant effect on ROA; Secondary reserve has a positive but not significant impact on ROA; OEOI and NPLs ratios have a negative and significant effect on ROA. While simultaneously, LDR, Secondary Reserve, OEOI Ratio, and NPLs substantially impact ROA. Novelty – Compared to previous studies, bank profitability is not only influenced by banking intermediation, operational efficiency, and credit risk but also by secondary reserves, although not significantly.

| Abstract: | This study examines the daily time series data of the short-term rental market, including Airbnb room bookings, rental supply, and asking rents, from 2015 to 2022 in 16 Asia-Pacific cities. The analysis employs a Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) approach to investigate the causal relationships among the variables and to estimate the short-run and long-run dynamics of the market. The study reveals that the short-term rental market exhibits a high degree of volatility, with considerable fluctuations in rental supply and asking rents across the cities and over time. Furthermore, the study shows that Airbnb bookings have a significant impact on rental supply and asking rents, indicating the importance of the platform in the market. The findings also suggest that the COVID-19 pandemic has had a substantial effect on the short-term rental market, with reduced bookings, supply, and rents during periods of strict pandemic control measures. The study provides insights into the dynamics of the short-term rental market in the Asia-Pacific region over an extended period, highlighting the importance of considering both short-term and long-term factors, including pandemic-related effects. |

| Abstract: | We analyze the optimal cigarette excise tax rate based on the optimal tax theory. We find that the optimal tax is different when there is an illegal production of cigarettes. We find that, without illegal production of cigarettes, the government can achieve the first best optimum condition by fully internalizing externality. The government can optimally choose the amount of tax on legal cigarettes that is equal to the marginal cost of health care. When there is an illegal production of cigarettes, we find that the rate of cigarette excise tax is not equal to the marginal cost of health care. Therefore, the government need more policy instruments to achieve the optimal tax rate in this case. We also find that an increase in the work hours of a legal cigarette production reduces illegal cigarette productions. Policymakers can use marginal income tax policy as an incentive to reduce illegal production of cigarettes. |

| Abstract: | " Objective - The COVID-19 worldwide pandemic disrupted our lives with unprecedented predicaments. Obtaining external sources for most business entities to sail through these challenges is extremely challenging. Research has documented that organizational resources could be strategically managed to thrive and foster organizational resilience. (Low, 2023) and (Jordão et al., 2023) have unanimously agreed that human capital is the fundamental building block of organizational resilience. Methodology/Technique - This study explores the potential of employee-centered CSR in driving business resilience in times of crisis. Additionally, workplace well-being was tested for its mediator roles in augmenting the interrelationship between employee-centered CSR and business resilience. A quantitative approach was utilized with a self-administered questionnaire distributed to the fully employed employees during and after the post-COVID-19 period to reflect this study's research objective. Finding - The responses were tested by structural equation modeling (SEM) and revealed that employee-centered CSR is significant and positively related to business resilience. Workplace well-being also significantly mediated the relationship. The finding inspires that business entity can strategically reallocate their internal resources, particularly human capital, for Mathew effects. Novelty - Apart from organizational resilience, implementing employee-centered CSR acts as the protagonist of a business organization to attract and retain talented employees.

| Abstract: | Vietnam has integrated into global value chains through the establishment of special economic zones (SEZs). This paper examines the local labour-market impacts of this programme, building on a unique dataset of SEZs in combination with labour force survey (LFS) data. Using historical satellite imagery, we trace the built-up area of SEZs over time to construct a continuous measure of SEZ exposure, which we link to the LFSs at the districtyear level for 2013-2019. In a difference-in-differences design with continuous treatment, we find that SEZs have led to a rapid shift in employment from agriculture and services to manufacturing and to an improvement in the quality of employment through higher wages and more formal employment. Foreign firms drive these effects, but there are positive spillovers to workers in domestic firms in agriculture and services. The effects are particularly strong for women, and younger individuals with low and medium levels of education. |

| Abstract: | This abstract discusses the increasing importance of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors in the real estate industry in Asia and Malaysia, where many listed property companies have begun to adopt ESG practices. However, the effectiveness of these initiatives on company performance remains unclear. This problem statement aims to investigate the potential benefits of integrating ESG practices into the operations of listed real estate companies and to identify the specific ESG factors that are most important in driving performance. Previous studies have shown mixed results, and there is a need to investigate the specific ESG factors that are most important in driving the performance of listed real estate companies in Asia and Malaysia. While academic research has been supportive of the increased value of ESG in real estate investing, this research aims to examine major real estate challenges and topics such as climate change risk issues, energy efficiency, and decarbonization frameworks. The significance of ESG in real estate investment decision-making for real estate investors globally moving ahead has been established, notably around the topics of climate risk reduction, climate resilience, and zero-carbon initiatives. |

| Abstract: | Analysis of the international network of double tax treaties reveals a large potential for tax avoidance. Developing countries are not, on average, more likely to suffer from tax revenue losses than other countries. Yet, this average masks that several countries, such as Bangladesh, Egypt, Kenya, Indonesia, Uganda and Zambia, are all vulnerable to substantial potential losses of withholding tax revenue by treaty shopping. The treaties responsible for this are referred to as potentially aggressive tax treaties. This is concluded by two Dutch economists and tax scholars, in a study commissioned by ICTD.

| Abstract: | The authors regret errors in transforming district and province locations from one coordinate system to another. The authors are indebted to Joan Barceló, Toan Luu Duc Huynh, and Edmund Malesky for bringing these errors to our attention. This note documents the errors and provides corrected text, tables, and figures, and we have also created replication statistical code reflecting these updates. Concretely, the coordinate transformation for data points presented in the published article mistakenly assumed an incorrect projection system rather than appropriately converting from UTM, Zone 48N (the original projection system of the data points for provinces and districts) to latitude and longitude coordinates on the WGS84 reference ellipsoid. This error resulted in location points being off by approximately 2° latitude north of their actual location. See Appendix A of this corrigendum for the location of districts (Panel A) and provinces (Panel B) in the original published paper versus the corrected version. This error also affected the classification of two provinces (namely, Hue and Quang Tri) and 17 districts as belonging to South Vietnam, which we have also corrected in what follows in the construction of the South Vietnam indicator variable. A regression of the corrected instrumental variable measure at the district level, [Formula presented], on the IV used in the original published paper [Formula presented], in a specification that also includes a constant term and the original indicator for former South Vietnam, yields a coefficient estimate of [Formula presented] = 0.901 (SE = 0.005), indicating that they are highly correlated. See Appendix B for a more detailed output of this regression. As a result, in the updated econometric analysis, the regression coefficient estimates and standard errors change only modestly. In all, the substantive findings of the original published article remain largely unchanged. Below we present the corrected tables and figures and all relevant instances in the main text that needed to be updated. The authors think it is important to promptly correct the scientific record and sincerely apologize for our error. The authors would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused. |

| Abstract: | Non-state armed actors (NSAAs) come in a variety of shapes and sizes, including warlordled groups, insurgencies, militias, and organised-crime syndicates to name just the most prominent examples hereof. In war or lower-level armed conflict, as well as violence-prone contexts, these groups pose acute problems for peacebuilding, democratic governance, and sustainable development. They control resources and territories, as well as compete, cooperate, or align with political and economic elites both within and beyond the state to promote the unstable status quo that serves their interests. Various challenges arise when dealing with NSAAs. Prevailing strategies vary between repression, co-optation, and submission to the rule of law. This analysis maps cross-regional trends regarding NSAAs based on available datasets. On this basis we develop a typology for NSAAs and a conceptual frame for their transformation. We then apply this to three paradigmatic case studies - Colombia, Mali, the Philippines - and formulate recommendations for the designing of improved strategies vis-à-vis development cooperation and other external actors |

| Abstract: | Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) is gaining wide acceptance by many state’s governments in Malaysia due to its potential to create a liveable neighbourhood with enhanced mobility. Therefore, the present study to examine criteria that are considered critical for the success of TOD adoptions based on integrated perceptions from residents and retail operators who live nearby or work at the selected northern KTM commuter stations in Malaysia. The data for this study were gathered from a survey on 360 residents who used the Northern KTM commuter train service. Descriptive and inferential technique was performed to analyse the data and produce the findings. The findings of this study shown that there were significant differences in travel behaviour patterns (companions, frequencies, and walking durations) with respect to respondents’ travel purposes. Moreover, it was revealed that land-use diversity and walkable design as important TOD principles that contribute to their quality of life. Besides residents’ perspectives, the present study also considered the retail operators’ viewpoints in estimating the impact of TOD adoption on quality of life. Unlike residents’ perspectives, retail operators’ quality of life was assessed in terms of business performance and business well-being. “Density” principle showed positive impacts on both retailers’ business performance and business well-being. The findings of this research would serve as a base but critical information to direct future National Estate Development Plan. |

| Abstract: | This research investigates the nexus between environmental compliance, innovation, and Total Factor Productivity convergence. We use two measures of environmental practices: the firm environmental standard certification and environmental treatment. As for innovation, it has three increasing-levels: no innovation, product or process innovation, and both types of innovation. Using a sample of Vietnamese small-and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises from 2007 to 2015, the environmental practices are not correlated with total factor productivity. By contrast, there is a strong correlation between innovation and environmental treatment. Factors contributing to the firm productivity growth rate, and consequently the speed of convergence, are innovation, firm size, and legal form. |
| Abstract: | Cette recherche examine le lien entre la conformité environnementale, l'innovation et la convergence de la productivité totale des facteurs. Nous utilisons deux mesures de pratiques environnementales : la norme de certification environnementale et le traitment environnemental. Quant à l'innovation, il s'agit d'une variable qualitative ayant trois modalités croissantes : aucune innovation, innovation de produit ou de procédé et deux types d'innovation. En utilisant une base de données des petites et moyennes entreprises manufacturières vietnamiennes entre 2007 et 2015, les pratiques environnementales ne sont pas corrélées avec la productivité totale des facteurs. En revanche, il existe une forte corrélation entre l'innovation et le traitement environnemental. Les facteurs qui contribuent au taux de croissance de la productivité des entreprises, et par conséquent à la vitesse de convergence, sont l'innovation, la taille de l'entreprise et la forme juridique. |

| Abstract: | " Objective - This study seeks to comprehensively analyze the determinants influencing the digitalization process within the creative economy subsectors in the Southern Sumatra region, with particular emphasis on Jambi City and Pangkal Pinang City. Additionally, it aims to assess policies and offer recommendations for sustaining digitalization initiatives within the creative economy sub-sector, particularly through the Digital Entrepreneurship Academy, to bolster long-term digital economic growth, particularly in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methodology - The research employs a quantitative analysis approach, specifically employing panel data regression techniques. The dataset encompasses both primary and secondary sources. Primary data is derived from a meticulously conducted survey that involved the distribution of structured questionnaires and in-depth interviews with Small and Medium-sized Enterprise (SME) entrepreneurs who have participated in the Digital Entrepreneurship Academy programs in Jambi City and Pangkal Pinang City. Findings - The analysis indicates a positive correlation between population growth and the Human Development Index (HDI), signifying that an increase in population corresponds to an enhancement in HDI. Moreover, Our findings reveal a significant negative relationship between the presence of SMEs and HDI. Novelty - This suggests that regions with a higher concentration of SMEs, characterized by potentially lower adherence to legal frameworks and lesser developmental efforts, tend to exhibit lower HDI values. In alignment with established scholarly research, a larger labor force positively influences HDI, underscoring the role of workforce magnitude in bolstering human development. Type of Paper - Empirical" |

| Abstract: | The recent accelerated growth in PropTech and real estate innovation has created enormous opportunities for investors and entrepreneurs. Data from Unissu (2022) reveals that in 2010, PropTech attracted an investment capital of approximately $900 million and by 2021, the PropTech sector attracted approximately $18 bn. As expected, PropTech investment capital flow has been uneven across world economies. A huge proportion of this capital is concentrated in North American, Western European and core Asian economies, suggesting an uneven distribution of PropTech capital across world regions and economies. Research has shown that macroeconomic, demographic, geopolitical, institutional, and legal factors influence real estate capital flow. However, the impact of these factors on PropTech capital flow has not been explored. This research, therefore, aims to explore some of the key factors that attract PropTech investors to various countries and world regions. The study uses OLS models to explore core PropTech investment pull forces and further uses machine learning algorithms to forecast future PropTech capital concentration. |

| Abstract: | This study attempts to propose ecosystem valuation approach for river by using contingent valuation. This study offers a thorough yet straightforward and useful framework for valuing ecosystem products and services. In addition, this study provides a survey based on contingent valuation methodology for estimating the non-use benefits of Malaysia's Johor River's improvement in ecosystem services. As far as the literature review is concerned this will be the first study of such kind in Malaysia. This study is also unique because it will utilise the freely available satellite data and advanced image classification technique of deep learning to classify different land use types. This study combineD economic valuation of ecosystem services to better highlight the importance of ecosystem services. The study findings on spatial and temporal distribution of ecosystem services can help guide future land-use policy i.e development of appropriate land use options and water resources management to enhance ecosystem services. |

| Abstract: | What are the effects of rebel taxation? Along arterial roads in north-east India, various non state armed groups collect ‘tax’ – of different types and amounts, with varied degrees of coercion and systematisation. Based on extensive fieldwork, including 100 interviews with non-state armed groups, businesspeople and state actors, this paper uses the lens of the transit economy in the Indian state of Manipur along the Indo-Myanmar border to identify the long-term effects of rebel taxes and the taxation ecosystem. It finds that taxation by armed groups shapes the business environment, has pervasive implications on the legitimacy of state governance, and creates a political order that lies between active conflict and peace. The paper further shows that these effects of rebel taxation can be best understood through an interplay of institutional factors, the number of groups present, and the relationship between the state and rebel groups. |

| Abstract: | Small states all over the globe have peculiar challenges foisted on them by their meagre population which may make some unviable and inconsequential in the comity of nations. While this can be said to be normatively politically correct, the realities have proven otherwise. Countries like Singapore, Qatar, Oman, Switzerland, etc., have crafted enviable statecraft that positioned them in strategic socio-economic and political vantage positions. For the Caribbean country of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana, the quest to succeed as a strong and virile small state has remained daunting due to a lot of intervening internal and external dynamics. This study is therefore poised to evaluate the Guyanese national trajectory towards a sustainable and stable Caribbean nation in the face of precarious post-colonial history, political alliance and nuances of intra and inter-regional influences on a country with great economic and geo-strategic potentials and the contradictions of a small population. In achieving this, the study relied on historical research design which is qualitative and explorative in nature. Study therefore relied extensively on secondary source of data via literature survey of books, reports from dailies and periodicals, government official publications, conference papers, journal publications and internet sources. Study also proffers policy options that can ameliorate the Guyanese post-colonial political challenges occasioned by the precarious colonial experiences, internal and external security challenges. |

| Abstract: | The study investigates the effect of the spouse's access to financial services (credit or savings) through membership in a self-help group on adopting technology, technical efficiency, and managerial gaps. To estimate the empirical model, we use farm-level data from rice farming households in eastern India, propensity score matching method, and selectivity-corrected stochastic production frontier. Results show that families with access to financial services via a spouse's membership in self-help groups have slightly higher technical efficiency than their counterparts. Both technology and managerial gaps are higher for farms where spouses have access to financial services via SHGs than their counterparts. With access to financial services via spouses, rice farmers used more hired labor, about 1.3 person-days/ha for crop establishment. Thus, women joining self-help groups can increase farm productivity, and extension agents should also focus on spouses and their role in farming decision-making, not just financial management. |
