This study empirically investigates how the degree of transparency in sustainability reporting influences earnings management practices among listed companies in Indonesia's energy sector on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, covering the period from 2021 to 2024. Grounded in three theoretical perspectives Agency Theory, Stakeholder Theory, and Legitimacy Theory this study argues that when companies disclose their sustainability information more comprehensively, management's capacity to manipulate reported earnings becomes increasingly constrained, owing to reduced information asymmetry and heightened external scrutiny. The independent variable is measured through the Sustainability Reporting Disclosure Index (SRDI), constructed based on the GRI Standards 2021, while earnings management is proxied by the absolute value of discretionary accruals derived from the Modified Jones Model. Firm size and leverage are incorporated as control variables. Using purposive sampling, 32 companies were selected, generating a total of 128 observations. The data were analysed through panel data regression employing a Random Effects Model with White's cross-section robust standard errors. The results reveal that sustainability reporting transparency does not exert a statistically significant effect on earnings management. This finding suggests that, within Indonesia's energy sector, sustainability reporting tends to function more as a legitimacy-seeking tool rather than a genuine expression of corporate transparency. Firm size was found to have a significant negative effect on earnings management, whereas leverage did not demonstrate a meaningful influence. This study contributes to the growing body of literature examining the relationship between sustainability reporting and earnings management, with particular relevance to the energy sector in the Indonesian context.

This study aims to analyze the effect of government expenditure, wages, inflation, education, and unemployment on the economy and their impact on poverty in the Tomini Bay Region. The study uses panel data from 10 regencies/cities with secondary data obtained from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS). The analytical method employed is a simultaneous equation model. The results show that government expenditure and education have a positive and significant effect on the economy. Wages have a negative and insignificant effect, while inflation and unemployment have a positive but insignificant effect on the economy. The economy has a positive and significant effect on poverty, indicating that economic growth has not yet been inclusive. Wages have a negative and significant effect on poverty, whereas inflation and unemployment have a negative but insignificant effect. These findings indicate that economic growth has not been fully capable of reducing poverty evenly, therefore policies focusing on equitable social welfare are needed.

This study aims to analyze the influence of gold prices, inflation rates, BI Rate, and exchange rates on the distribution of pawn products (Rahn) at PT. Bank Riau Kepri Syariah Pekanbaru Arifin Ahmad. The research uses a quantitative approach with associative methods, data collection techniques through documentation, and panel data regression analysis using Eviews 12 software. The results of the study show that the price of gold has a significant effect on the distribution of Rahn financing. The higher the price of gold, the greater the amount of financing that can be disbursed because the value of collateral increases so that the risk of Islamic banks is more controlled. Inflation also has a significant effect, where rising inflation encourages people to seek short-term financing through Rahn products  to maintain liquidity and purchasing power. The BI Rate has a significant negative effect, meaning that the increase in the benchmark interest rate reduces interest in interest-bearing financing and encourages customers to choose  interest-free Rahn products  . Conversely, the exchange rate has no significant effect on  the distribution of Rahn, as exchange rate fluctuations do not affect the stability of the value of gold collateral. Overall, Rahn's financing distribution  is more influenced by internal product factors and customer needs than external factors. Rahn's products are proven to be a short-term financing instrument that is safe, fast, and in accordance with sharia principles.  

The implementation of PSAK 73, which adopted IFRS 16, brought fundamental changes to lease financial reporting, triggering various challenges for financial performance and corporate policy. The primary issue examined in this literature was the impact of lease capitalization on financial ratios, dividend policy, and potential earnings management. The overall objective of this study was to evaluate the differences in financial performance before and after the implementation of the new standard, as well as to identify the determinants of dividend policy across various sectors. The dominant method employed was a quantitative approach using comparative analysis and panel data regression on companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Key findings indicated that the implementation of PSAK 73 significantly increased total assets and liabilities (leverage), yet tended to decrease profitability ratios such as Return on Assets (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE). Furthermore, dividend policy was found to be significantly influenced by profitability and the new capital structure resulting from lease capitalization  

This study aims to analyze the effect of Average Years of Schooling (RLS), school index, teacher index, student index, and Expected Years of Schooling (HLS) on the equalization of educational access proxied by the Net Enrollment Rate (APM) in disadvantaged, frontier, and outermost (3T) regions of Eastern Indonesia. This study employed a quantitative approach using panel data regression methods in six provinces in Eastern Indonesia during the 2016–2024 period. The data used were secondary data obtained from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology, and other official sources. The results showed that Average Years of Schooling (RLS), school index, teacher index, student index, and Expected Years of Schooling (HLS) had a positive and significant effect on the equalization of educational access. These findings indicate that improving educational attainment, the quality of educational facilities, the availability of teachers, student participation, and educational expectations can increase the Net Enrollment Rate (APM) in the 3T regions of Eastern Indonesia. This study implies that education policies should focus on equalizing the quality of educational services, improving school infrastructure, ensuring a more equitable distribution of teachers, and strengthening educational sustainability to reduce disparities in educational access across regions.

Tourism regulations play a critical role in shaping destination competitiveness and influencing tourist travel decisions, yet empirical evidence on their effectiveness across different institutional contexts remains limited. This study investigates the impact of tourism regulations on tourist visit performance through a comparative quantitative analysis of Indonesia and Singapore. Using panel data covering the period 2010–2023, this research employs a fixed-effects regression model to examine the relationship between regulatory quality and tourist arrivals, while controlling for economic conditions and transport infrastructure. The findings reveal that tourism regulations have a positive and statistically significant effect on tourist visit performance in both countries. However, the magnitude of the effect is substantially stronger in Singapore, indicating higher regulatory efficiency and institutional effectiveness in translating policy interventions into tourism demand. These results support institutional and tourism demand theories, emphasizing that regulatory quality, rather than regulatory volume, is a key determinant of tourism performance. The study contributes to the tourism policy literature by providing cross-national empirical evidence on regulatory impacts and highlighting the importance of governance capacity in tourism development. From a policy perspective, the findings suggest that countries should prioritize regulatory coherence, administrative efficiency, and adaptive governance to enhance tourism competitiveness and resilience.

This research aims to explore the satisfaction–revenue nexus by examining the effect of tourist satisfaction on Revenue Per Available Room (RevPAR) performance in three-star hotels across Southeast Asia. Grounded in Expectation–Confirmation Theory and the Service-Profit Chain framework, the study conceptualizes tourist satisfaction as a strategic intangible asset that contributes to financial performance through both direct and indirect mechanisms. A mixed-methods sequential explanatory design was employed. Quantitative panel data were collected from 312 three-star hotels in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines over the period 2019–2024 and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) and panel regression techniques. The results indicate that tourist satisfaction has a positive and statistically significant direct effect on RevPAR. Furthermore, occupancy rate partially mediates this relationship, suggesting that satisfaction enhances revenue performance primarily through demand stabilization and increased room utilization. Qualitative findings from managerial interviews further confirm that guest satisfaction strengthens online reputation, repeat visitation, and revenue consistency. This study contributes empirical evidence to the literature on satisfaction-driven financial performance in mid-scale hospitality markets and offers strategic implications for revenue optimization in competitive Asian contexts.  

This study aims to determine the effect of financial performance, capital structure, and company size on company value in healthcare companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the 2020-2024 period. This study uses an associative quantitative approach with secondary data obtained from the company's financial statements. The sample was determined using purposive sampling, resulting in 9 healthcare companies with 45 observations. Data analysis was performed using EViews 12. Panel data regression analysis was applied using the Random Effect Model (REM), selected based on the Chow test, the Hausman test, and the Lagrange multiplier test. Furthermore, classical assumption testing and hypothesis testing were carried out. The test results show that partially Financial Performance has a significant positive effect on Company Value with a calculated T value of 2.137061 > T table 2.01954 with a prob value of 0.0386 < 0.05, Capital Structure does not have a significant effect on Company Value with a calculated T value of 0.4770233 < T table 2.01954 with a prob value of 0.6407 > 0.05, Company Size has a significant positive effect on Company Value with a calculated T value of 2.134309 > T table 2.01954 with a prob value of 0.0388 < 0.05. Simultaneously, the three independent variables have a significant positive effect on Company Value with an Fcount value of 3.059588 > Ftable 2.83 with a prob value of 0.038758 < 0.05, with a contribution of 12.31% while the remaining 87.69% is influenced by other factors outside this study.

Three-phase induction motors are essential components in industrial cooling systems that require reliable overcurrent protection to maintain operational continuity and prevent equipment damage. In the Cooling Tower Pump panel at PT DongJin Indonesia, a limitation was identified where the terminal of the Electronic Overcurrent Relay (EOCR) could not accommodate the 50 mm² power cable, preventing direct current measurement. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of integrating a 200:5 A Current Transformer (CT) with the EOCR as an adaptive protection solution that is both safe and efficient. The research employs a case study approach through field observation, motor current measurement using a Fluke 303 Clamp Meter, and descriptive analysis of the recorded data. The results indicate that the three motors operate under stable load conditions, with current values ranging from 236.7 A to 275.7 A, while the secondary current detected by the EOCR ranges from 3.7 A to 3.9 A, consistent with the CT transformation ratio. During the starting phase, the current surged to 600.4 A without causing false tripping, demonstrating that the EOCR effectively distinguishes temporary inrush current from actual fault conditions. Therefore, the integration of CT–EOCR is proven to enhance measurement safety, maintain motor operational stability, and support efficient system maintenance in industrial environments.

Tax is a major source of government revenue; however, tax avoidance remains a significant issue, particularly in the property and real estate sector, which is characterized by high growth and complex financial structures. This study examines the effects of leverage, profitability, and sales growth on tax avoidance, with firm size as a moderating variable. The study employs a quantitative approach, using secondary data from the annual financial statements of property and real estate companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2020–2024 period. The sample was selected using purposive sampling, and the data were analyzed using panel data regression techniques. Tax avoidance is proxied by the Cash Effective Tax Rate, leverage is measured by the Debt-to-Equity Ratio, profitability is measured by Return on Assets, sales growth is calculated as the annual change in sales, and firm size is measured using the natural logarithm of total assets. The results indicate that leverage and profitability significantly affect tax avoidance, whereas sales growth does not. Firm size is found to moderate the relationship between leverage and tax avoidance as well as between profitability and tax avoidance, but it does not moderate the relationship between sales growth and tax avoidance. The novelty of this study lies in the inclusion of sales growth as an independent variable and the positioning of firm size as a moderating variable within the property and real estate sector during the post-pandemic period. These findings provide practical implications for corporate tax management strategies and offer insights for regulators in strengthening tax supervision based on firm characteristics.

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Online Travel Agent (OTA) distribution channels in influencing room sales volume and net profit for hotels in Java. Although OTAs have become a primary distribution choice that successfully boosts sales figures, there is still a lack of research highlighting the impact on net profitability due to high commission costs.Using a quantitative associative method through panel data regression analysis, this study examines the causal relationship between the proportion of sales made via OTAs and two performance indicators over a two-year period (2021–2023). The primary findings reveal a dual effect:OTA Distribution Channels have a positive and significant influence on Room Sales Volume (supporting Hypothesis H1).Conversely, OTAs have a significant negative impact on Hotel Profit Margins (supporting Hypothesis H2), indicating a substantial financial trade-off.The contribution of this research is to provide balanced empirical evidence regarding volume gains versus margin losses resulting from OTA usage. The managerial implications suggested by these findings are that hotels need to implement distribution strategies focused on Net Revenue Management and channel mix optimization to achieve a balance between volume requirements and profitability.

This study aims to examine the effect of the Current Ratio (CR), Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), and Return on Assets (ROA) on firm value (Tobin’s Q) in property and real estate companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period 2020-2024. Using a descriptive quantitative method with purposive sampling, this study involves 6 companies and 97 data observations. Data analysis was performed using panel data regression, t-test, F-test, and coefficient of determination tests. The results show that CR has a negative and significant effect on firm value with a t-value of -3.760941 and a significance level of 0.0011. Meanwhile, DER has a positive but insignificant effect on firm value with a t-value of 0.508701 and a significance level of 0.6163. ROA also has a negative but insignificant effect with a t-value of -1.254781 and a significance level of 0.2233. Simultaneously, the F-test results show a significant effect from all three variables on firm value, with an F-value of 14.37946 (greater than the F-table value of 2.975) and a significance level of 0.000001. The Adjusted R-Square value of 78.69% indicates that the independent variables explain 78.69% of the variation in firm value, while the remaining 21.31% is explained by other factors.

This research focuses on examining the relationship between environmental accounting practices and firm value creation, considering the role of profitability as an intermediary mechanism. The study was conducted on companies in the basic and chemical industry subsectors listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2020–2024 period. Green Accounting in this study is represented through environmental cost disclosure, while firm value is proxied by Price to Book Value (PBV), and profitability is measured by Return on Equity (ROE). The analysis used a panel data regression approach, complemented by a mediation test using the Sobel test. Empirical results indicate that the implementation of Green Accounting has not had a significant impact on profitability or firm value. Conversely, profitability has been shown to have a positive and significant relationship with firm value. Furthermore, the mediation test indicates that profitability plays no role in channeling the influence of Green Accounting on firm value. These findings lead to the interpretation that Green Accounting practices in the studied sectors still reflect regulatory compliance and efforts to gain social legitimacy rather than a strategy to increase short-term economic value.

Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis pengaruh Good Corporate Governance (GCG), Financial Risk, dan Capital terhadap Opini Audit, dengan Earning sebagai variabel intervening dan Reputasi Kantor Akuntan Publik (KAP) sebagai variabel moderasi, pada perusahaan perbankan yang terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia (BEI) periode 2020–2024. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif kausal dengan data panel dari 15 bank yang dipilih secara purposive sampling, sehingga diperoleh 75 observasi bank-tahun. GCG diproksikan dengan jumlah Dewan Direksi dan Komite Audit; Financial Risk diproksikan dengan Non-Performing Loan (NPL) dan Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR); Capital diproksikan dengan Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) dan Debt to Asset Ratio (DAR); Earning diproksikan dengan Return on Assets (ROA) dan Return on Equity (ROE); dan Opini Audit diukur dengan skor 1–5 berdasarkan jumlah catatan tambahan auditor. Data dianalisis menggunakan Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) berbantuan SmartPLS dengan konstruk formatif dan prosedur bootstrapping 5.000 resample. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan Financial Risk dan Capital berpengaruh negatif signifikan terhadap Earning, sedangkan GCG tidak berpengaruh signifikan. GCG dan Capital berpengaruh signifikan meskipun dengan arah negatif terhadap Opini Audit, sementara Financial Risk dan Earning tidak berpengaruh signifikan. Earning tidak terbukti memediasi pengaruh variabel eksogen terhadap Opini Audit, dan Reputasi KAP tidak terbukti memoderasi hubungan Earning-Opini Audit, meskipun berpengaruh positif secara langsung terhadap Opini Audit. Temuan ini mengindikasikan bahwa pada industri perbankan yang sangat teregulasi, opini audit lebih ditentukan oleh kewajaran penyajian laporan keuangan dan kredibilitas auditor dibandingkan kinerja profitabilitas semata.

The purpose of this study was to determine and analyze the effect of wage levels, economic growth, and the Human Development Index (HDI) on income inequality through labor absorption in the Districts/Cities of Jambi Province from 2020-2024. The research method used is a quantitative descriptive analysis using panel data regression with the Fixed Effect Model approach.  The analysis method used Eviews 12. The results showed of that partially, income inequality in the Districts/Cities of Jambi Province is significant positive influenced by the wage level variable, while economic growth does not have a significant effect on income inequality. In addition, the Human Development Index (HDI) has a significant negative effect on income inequality. This implies that wage increases are actually followed by in income inequality. Meanwhile, economic growth has not been able to provide a broad income redistribution effect. Conversely, improving the quality of human development proves to be the most effective factor, as it is capable of significant reducing inequalirt levels. Simultaneously, the results show that the variables of wage levels, economic growth, and the Human Development Index (HDI) collectively have a significant influence on income inequality in Districts/Cities of Jambi Province.

This study examines the mediating role of SDG disclosure in the relationship between ESG score and financial performance within the mandatory reporting context of non-financial firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during 2021-2023. Using a purposive sample of 59 companies (177 observations), the analysis employs panel data regression and the Sobel test to evaluate ESG metrics from Refinitiv Eikon alongside disclosure and financial data from corporate reports. Empirical results show that ESG score does not significantly predict SDG disclosure nor directly affect financial performance measured by ROE. Furthermore, SDG disclosure shows no significant association with financial performance and fails to mediate the ESG-ROE relationship. Firm size is the only variable positively related to SDG disclosure, suggesting that reporting practices are more strongly driven by organizational resources and public visibility than by substantive ESG performance. Overall, the findings reveal a decoupling phenomenon, where sustainability reporting in Indonesia tends to reflect symbolic compliance rather than value-creating integration. The study concludes that a credibility gap exists in the capital market, as SDG disclosure has not yet functioned as an effective mechanism for converting ESG performance into financial gains. This study provides evidence on the limitations of SDG disclosure as a value transmission mechanism in emerging market, offering insights for regulators and market participants seeking to enhance the economic relevance and credibility of SDG reporting.

This research try to examine how investment choices in property and real estate sector businesses listed on IDX (2020-2024) are impacted by the cost of debt and equity.For the accuracy of the analysis, this study also uses firm size and profitability as controler. Purposive sampling was used in the sampling process, which produced seven qualifying organizations with a total of 35 observations over a five-year period. Panel data regression was used for data analysis, and the Common Effect Model was shown to be the best estimation model. The findings show that investment decisions are significantly influenced by firm size, profitability, cost of debt, and cost of equity all at the same time. Nonetheless, investment choices are not much impacted by the cost of debt. Similarly, it has been demonstrated that the cost of equity has no appreciable effect on the capital expenditures of the businesses. Firm size has a favorable and substantial impact, making it the main motivator for investment activity in the real estate industry. During the study period, investment decisions were not significantly impacted by profitability. These results show that, especially in the post-pandemic economic recovery era, asset capacity and economies of scale are more important for the viability of real investment projects for property firms on the IDX than yearly variations in capital costs.

This study investigates the factors influencing export performance in five ASEAN countries Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand during the 2014-2023 period. The topic is highly relevant given the vital role of exports in sustaining monetary stability and promoting long-term economic growth. The novelty of this research lies in its integrated approach, which simultaneously examines key export-related macroeconomic variables, namely foreign direct investment and inflation, while incorporating foreign exchange reserves as a moderating variable an approach that remains limited in existing ASEAN-focused studies. This analysis uses secondary data obtained from the World Bank and processed using panel data regression methods, including the Common Effect Model, Fixed Effect Model, and Random Effect Model, strengthened by a Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) approach. The results show that foreign direct investment and inflation significantly influence foreign exchange reserves. Furthermore, foreign exchange reserves have been shown to play a strategic role in strengthening the economic resilience of ASEAN countries and can be used as a reference in formulating monetary and international trade policies.
