This study aims to analyze the effect of government expenditure and Regional Own-Source Revenue (PAD) on the Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) of Surabaya City during the period 2014–2022. The background of the study stems from the crucial role of regional fiscal policy in promoting economic growth and the observed mismatch between the increase in regional expenditure and PAD with the development of GRDP. The research employs a quantitative approach using multiple linear regression analysis based on time-series data obtained from BPS and DJPK. The findings show that government expenditure and PAD simultaneously have a significant effect on GRDP. Partially, government expenditure has a positive and significant effect, while PAD has a positive but not significant effect on GRDP. The coefficient of determination (R²) value of 0.998 indicates that both variables can explain most of the variation in GRDP. These results confirm that government expenditure is the dominant fiscal instrument in driving economic growth in Surabaya, while the contribution of PAD still needs to be strengthened to effectively enhance fiscal capacity and stimulate productive economic activities. This study is expected to serve as a reference for local governments in formulating more targeted budget policies

Batu City, as a major tourist destination, has experienced rapid growth in tourism infrastructure development, leading to the conversion of agricultural land and green open spaces into commercial areas. Using a case study methodology and a qualitative approach, this study gathers data in many sub-districts through documentation, in-depth interviews, and observation, including Sidomulyo, Songgokerto, and Oro-Oro Ombo. The findings indicate that the decline in Green Open Space (GOS) has negatively impacted environmental quality (such as rising temperatures and increased flood risk), disrupted the livelihoods of agricultural communities, and caused economic disparities due to the dominance of the tourism service sector. While tourism contributes to regional income, without sustainable environmental management, the long-term economic potential may decline. Therefore, a tourism development strategy that balances economic growth with environmental preservation is essential.

Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) have great potential as centers for community-based economic empowerment, but the entrepreneurial mindset of students is often not optimally developed. This community service program aims to improve the entrepreneurial mindset of students at Al-Inayah Islamic Boarding School through experience-based training and intensive mentoring. The methods used include a participatory approach, interactive training, practical training on organic fertilizer production, strengthening Islamic entrepreneurial values, and mentoring in developing business ideas. This activity was attended by 30 students and evaluated using pre- and post-training instruments. The results showed a 36% increase in entrepreneurial mindset scores, accompanied by significant developments in creativity, risk-taking, and the ability to recognize market opportunities. The program also produced three initial business groups: organic fertilizer processing, agricultural product marketing, and agricultural equipment rental services, which serve as initial steps towards the economic independence of the Islamic boarding school. These findings confirm that experience-based training and ongoing mentoring are effective in shaping the entrepreneurial mindset of students and encouraging the optimization of the Islamic boarding school's productive assets as an effort to strengthen the economy based on Islamic values ​​and sustainability.

This study examines the role of religious moderation as an ethical foundation for economic practices in sustainable community empowerment in Bintang Meriah Village. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach with a participatory model through the Community Service Program (KKN) of the State Islamic University of North Sumatra. The values of religious moderation were integrated into various social, economic, and environmental programs, including anti-bullying campaigns, Islamic financial literacy, eco-print training, and the use of papaya leaf extract as an organic pesticide. Religious moderation serves as an ethical basis for fostering tolerance, social responsibility, and economic balance, while eco-theology strengthens ecological awareness and sustainability. The findings indicate an increase in community awareness of the importance of ethical and spiritual values in economic and environmental activities. The synergy between students, the community, and local government created empowerment practices that are not only economically beneficial but also uphold spiritual values and social sustainability.

The Community Service Program (KKN) of the Faculty of Islamic Economics and Business, State Islamic University of North Sumatra, in Aek Kota Batu Village, North Labuhanbatu Regency, was carried out as a form of community service focusing on digital-based economic empowerment. This program originated from the low level of digital literacy and the limited ability of micro-entrepreneurs to utilize technology as a means of promotion and financial transactions. The main objective of this activity is to enhance the community’s ability to use digital maps and the QRIS (Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard) payment system as a strategy to expand market reach and create transaction efficiency. The method used is the Participatory Rural Appraisal approach, with stages including observation, socialization, training, mentoring, and evaluation. The results of the activity show that the community experienced an increased understanding of digital technology and was able to apply digital mapping to ten local business units. In addition, several business actors have implemented QRIS in daily transactions, which has proven to improve convenience and security in financial dealings. From the perspective of Islamic economics, this activity represents the values of maslahah (public benefit), itqan (excellence), and tawazun (balance) in the community’s economic life. Thus, this program successfully created a socio-economic transformation based on Islamic values and can serve as a model for digital economy-based community service programs at the village level.

Generation Z is recognized as a group that is adaptive to technological developments; however, they still face serious challenges in terms of financial management. Based on the National Survey of Financial Literacy and Inclusion by the Financial Services Authority (OJK) in 2022, the level of financial literacy in South Kalimantan is still far below the national average, at only 42.88% compared to 49.68%. This low level of financial literacy often triggers consumptive behavior and lack of responsibility in financial decision-making. This community service activity aims to enhance comprehensive understanding of financial literacy, build skills in financial management and recording, and foster interest in safe investment through education digitalization. The implementation method includes material delivery through socialization, followed by discussion and question-and-answer sessions, as well as evaluation using Pre-Test and Post-Test instruments. The results of the activity demonstrate an increase in understanding, as reflected by the increase in the average scores from 75,33 in the Pre-Test to 100 in the Post-Test, indicating a 24,67% improvement. Thus, this activity not only enhanced understanding but also fostered awareness of the importance of wise financial management in the face of digital economic challenges.

Education has long been recognized as a primary determinant of economic progress and human development , yet in the context of a global economy characterized by rapid technological change and the sustainability imperative, the focus shifts from the mere quantity of investment to its effectiveness in fostering sustainable economic growth. Current education systems face significant challenges, including a persistent global "learning crisis" , governance inefficiencies , and a misalignment between curricula and the demands of the labor market, particularly the green and digital economies. Given that existing literature often treats education investment as a static input and fails to holistically integrate sustainability and governance into the optimization process , this conceptual article aims to bridge these theoretical and empirical gaps by proposing an integrated model for the optimization of education investment for sustainable economic growth. The method involves a conceptual analysis that synthesizes human capital theory , endogenous growth theory , and the economics of sustainability , emphasizing the roles of governance, innovation, and inclusivity as mediating factors. The key finding of the study indicates that optimization necessitates a paradigm shift from input-oriented budgeting toward an outcome-based investment framework that holistically balances three crucial dimensions: efficiency (maximizing learning outcomes) , equity (ensuring inclusive access) , and relevance (alignment with sustainability needs). The resulting policy implications are delineated across the Macro (fiscal integration and sustainability strategies through performance-based funding) , Meso (institutions transform into adaptive innovation centers) , and Micro (enhancement of reskilling, upskilling, and human capital capacity) levels; by achieving this alignment, education successfully transitions from a cost center to a strategic catalyst driving sustained prosperity.

Penelitian ini menjelaskan perbedaan pemahaman tentang utang dari sudut pandang ekonomi Islam dan ekonomi konvensional, serta tantangan yang dihadapi dalam penerapannya di masyarakat dan institusi keuangan. Dalam ekonomi konvensional, utang dianggap sebagai perjanjian keuangan yang melibatkan bunga, digunakan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan konsumsi dan investasi. Sementara, dalam ekonomi Islam, utang dipahami sebagai alat sosial yang berlandaskan nilai kemanusiaan, solidaritas, dan larangan riba, sehingga perjanjian utang harus bebas dari bunga serta ketidakadilan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif dengan pendekatan kajian literatur untuk meninjau konsep, prinsip, serta berbagai hambatan yang dijumpai dalam penerapan kedua sistem. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui analisis dokumen dari buku, jurnal, dan penelitian terdahulu, yang kemudian dianalisis dengan menggunakan pendekatan analisis konten. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk memahami secara mendalam konsep utang menurut perspektif Islam dan konvensional, mengidentifikasi tantangan dalam pengelolaan utang di kedua sistem ekonomi, dan menyajikan perbandingan aspek moral, akad, risiko, serta tujuan penggunaan utang. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dalam ekonomi Islam, utang menekankan pada prinsip keadilan dan etika syariah yang melarang riba, berfokus pada kerja sama, serta mengutamakan perjanjian yang jelas dan tertulis dengan disertai saksi. Sementara itu, utang dalam ekonomi konvensional lebih mengedepankan aspek keuntungan dengan penggunaan bunga sebagai sumber utama profit. Dalam praktiknya, manajemen utang syariah menghadapi tantangan seperti rendahnya pemahaman masyarakat tentang keuangan syariah, terbatasnya akses ke instrumen syariah, dan kurangnya regulasi yang tegas. Di lain pihak, pengelolaan utang konvensional berhadapan dengan risiko suku bunga, ketidakstabilan fiskal, serta masalah transparansi dan akuntabilitas. Penelitian ini memberikan sumbangan akademis untuk pengembangan sistem keuangan yang lebih adil dan berkelanjutan di masa mendatang.

The economy of West Sumatra Province has shown a significant decline in recent years, with the lowest growth rate on the entire island of Sumatra. This study aims to examine the influence of capital expenditure, unemployment, and the Human Development Index on economic growth in this region between 2014 and 2024. Using multiple linear regression and data sourced from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) and the Directorate General of Fiscal Balance, the analysis shows that capital expenditure and unemployment have a significant negative impact on economic growth, while the Human Development Index (HDI) has no significant impact. Although capital expenditure varies, the decline in unemployment indicates a change in labor market conditions. This information indicates that government efforts to increase spending on infrastructure and public services are still ineffective in driving growth. Therefore, it is recommended that the government prioritize budget allocations in productive sectors such as infrastructure, tourism, and MSME development to help small businesses grow and advance through training, capital support, and technology implementation to ensure competitiveness and sustainability. Therefore, this study is expected to provide deeper insight into the elements that influence economic growth in West Sumatra and serve as a guide for further, more comprehensive research.  

The research intends to formulate an integrative approach for designing the Merdeka Curriculum based on Deep Learning in the Economics subject at SMA N 1 Boyolali.

Using a an exploratory research approach supported by a structured assessment of prior studies (SLR), this research synthesizes theoretical perspectives and previous studies related to curriculum design, deep learning, and educational innovation. The results reveal that the incorporation of Deep Learning into the Merdeka Curriculum offers a more responsive and data-driven framework, enabling deeper conceptual understanding, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills in Economics learning. However, several challenges were identified, including teachers limited digital competence, insufficient infrastructure, and minimal curriculum innovation training. The study emphasizes the significance of combining technological and pedagogical innovation to strengthen learning quality. The results provide a conceptual model that educators can adopt to design an adaptive curriculum aligned with students’ characteristics and contemporary educational demands.
