Investment decisions in pharmaceutical manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) are influenced by fundamental analysis and stock price fluctuations. Stock prices reflect market perceptions shaped by profitability, liquidity, and capital structure. This study examines the effects of Return on Assets (ROA), Current Ratio (CR), and Debt-to-Equity Ratio (DER) on stock prices, both partially and simultaneously. Using a quantitative approach, the study analyzes secondary data from audited financial statements and stock prices of 12 pharmaceutical companies during 2022–2024, totaling 36 observations. Panel data regression with EViews 12 is applied. Results show that ROA and DER have positive and significant effects on stock prices, while CR has a negative but insignificant effect. Simultaneously, all three variables significantly influence stock prices, with an adjusted R² of 73%, indicating strong explanatory power. Profitability (ROA) is the most influential factor, followed by capital structure (DER), while liquidity (CR) shows no significant impact.

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.

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 aims to analyze the influence of interest rates, exchange rates, and coffee production on the value of coffee exports in South Sulawesi. The background of this study is based on the condition of South Sulawesi coffee exports which have experienced significant fluctuations in recent years despite coffee production tending to increase. This study uses a quantitative approach with time series data for the period 2009-2023 sourced from the World Bank, International Monetary Fund and the Directorate General of Plantations, the Food Crops, Horticulture and Plantation Service of South Sulawesi Province. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression through the EViews 12 application with the classical assumption test as a model prerequisite. The results show that partially interest rates have a significant effect on coffee exports, while exchange rates and coffee production do not have a significant effect. Simultaneously, the three independent variables do not have a significant effect on the value of coffee exports. This finding indicates that external factors, especially interest rates, are more dominant in determining the performance of South Sulawesi coffee exports than internal factors of production and exchange rates.

This research aims to: 1) examine the development of the Human Development Index (HDI), Labor Force Participation Rate (LFPR), population size, economic growth, and the poverty gap index in the regencies/cities of Jambi Province from 2020 to 2024; and 2) analyze the influence of the Human Development Index, Labor Force Participation Rate, population size, and economic growth on the poverty gap index in the regencies/cities of Jambi Province. The research method employed is descriptive quantitative. The analytical tool used is Panel Data Regression through the Fixed Effect Model (FEM) approach, processed with EViews 12 software. The results show that the Human Development Index, population size, and economic growth have a significant influence on the poverty gap index in the regencies/cities of Jambi Province during the 2020-2024 period. Conversely, the LFPR does not have a significant effect on the poverty gap index in the region during the same period. These findings imply the importance of strengthening human resource quality through HDI improvement and more inclusive economic growth policies in Jambi Province. Furthermore, the government needs to evaluate the quality of available employment, as the high Labor Force Participation Rate (LFPR) has not yet been able to significantly reduce the depth of poverty.

The primary focus of this research is to evaluate the influence of Good Corporate Governance (GCG), profitability levels, and entity scale on the market value of coal mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) between 2021 and 2023. This study adopts a quantitative design by utilizing secondary data from the official IDX website, where 8 companies were selected as samples from a total population of 34 coal sub-sector companies through purposive sampling techniques. Data processing was carried out through panel data regression analysis using Eviews 12 software. The research data indicates that, independently, the implementation of good corporate governance and the level of profit acquisition do not contribute significantly to determining the value of the entity. Conversely, company size is proven to have a significant negative impact. Simultaneous testing confirms that these three independent variables collectively have a significant effect on company value. These findings indicate the need for strategies that consider factors beyond good corporate governance and profitability in efforts to increase company value, such as operational efficiency and proper asset management.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors that lead to poverty in different Indonesian regions between 2018 up to 2024. The Gross Regional Domestic Product per capita, the Human Development Index, and the Open Unemployment Rate are the independent factors used in this study, whereas poverty levels are the dependent variable. The Central Statistics Agency provided secondary data that was used in a quantitative manner. Using EViews 12 software, panel regression techniques were used to process the data. The study's conclusions show that, at a significance level of less than 0.05, economic and human development factors simultaneously significantly affect poverty rates across Indonesian regions. The coefficient of determination indicates that the variables in the model can account for the majority of the variations in poverty levels. These findings demonstrate how important a region's economic status and level of human development are to efforts to reduce poverty. It is anticipated that this research will help the government develop more effective and long-lasting methods for reducing poverty.

This study empirically examines the effects of ownership structure, including managerial, institutional, and public ownership, on tax avoidance practices, using profitability as a moderating variable. The population in this study consists of manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX), from which a sample was selected using purposive sampling. A total of 330 observations were collected from 110 manufacturing companies for the period 2022–2024. The variables were tested using multiple linear regression in EViews 12. This study expands on previous research by using profitability as a moderating variable that can influence the relationship between ownership structure and tax avoidance. The results show that institutional ownership has a negative and significant effect on tax avoidance practices. An increase in institutional share ownership can reduce tax avoidance practices. Meanwhile, managerial and public ownership do not affect tax avoidance practices. In the moderation test, profitability strengthened the effect of managerial and institutional ownership on tax avoidance. Still, it did not moderate the impact between public ownership and tax avoidance.

This study aims to analyze the development of debit card, credit card, and e-money usage and inflation in Indonesia, while also examining the effect of these three payment instruments on inflation from January 2015 to July 2025. The method used is the Error Correction Model (ECM) with the help of Eviews 12 software, while data was obtained from Bank Indonesia (BI) and the Central Statistics Agency (BPS). The results show that in the long term, debit cards do not have a significant impact on inflation. Conversely, credit cards have a positive and significant impact, indicating that increased credit card usage can drive up inflation. On the other hand, e-money has a negative and significant effect on inflation in the long term, so that increased e-money transactions actually tend to suppress inflation. In the short term, these three payment instruments—debit cards, credit cards, and e-money—do not show a significant impact on inflation in Indonesia. These findings provide insight into the dynamics of non-cash payment instruments and provide assurance regarding price stability.

Every year, companies are required to prepare financial reports that include information on their financial condition, performance, and cash flow. This report demonstrates management's accountability for the resources they manage. One of the most important elements in this report is profit. This profit figure is closely monitored by report users, as it is considered a key measure of management's achievements and performance. However, in their financial management, manufacturing companies often face problems related to earnings management practices. Earnings management is an attempt by company management to manipulate or arrange financial reports, especially profits, for specific purposes. This practice can be carried out to demonstrate better financial performance, meet market targets, or reduce tax burdens. The purpose of this study is to determine the determinants of earnings management, such as intellectual capital, inflation, and third-party funds. This study utilizes information taken from the financial reports of manufacturers listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) using a purposive sampling method that meets the exploratory steps. This research period was taken over three years, with 78 observations used from 26 manufacturing companies. This research method used Eviews 12 with secondary data types. The results of the study show that there is a positive influence between intellectual capital on profit management, and there is no influence of inflation on profit management, and third party funds do not have a significant influence on profit management..

This study aims to: (1) identify and analyze the development of Third Party Funds (DPK), inflation, savings interest rates, Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) at constant prices, and regional expenditure across Indonesian provinces during 2019–2023; and (2) examine the influence of inflation, savings interest rates, GRDP at constant prices, and regional expenditure on Third Party Funds in the same period. The research employs panel data regression analysis using EViews 12 for data processin.The results show that (1) the highest average growth of Third Party Funds (DPK) was recorded in South Kalimantan (11.89%), while the lowest was in Banten (-10.87%). The highest average inflation occurred in East Java (3.7%) and the lowest in Papua (2.1%). The savings interest rate peaked in 2019 at 1.17% and declined to its lowest level in 2022 at 0.37%. The highest GRDP growth was found in North Maluku (16.41%) and the lowest in West Papua (1.16%). Similarly, North Maluku also recorded the highest regional expenditure growth (14.08%), while West Papua experienced the lowest (-17.24%), reflecting economic disparities across regions in Indonesia. (2) The regression analysis reveals that GRDP at constant prices and regional expenditure have a significant and positive effect on Third Party Funds, while the savings interest rate has a significant and negative effect. In contrast, inflation shows no significant effect on Third Party Funds.

This study aims to analyze the effect of the distribution of Zakat, Infak, and Sadaqah (ZIS) funds, economic growth, unemployment rate, and Regional Original Revenue (PAD) on the poverty rate in West Sumatra Province during the period 2020–2024. The data used are secondary data obtained from BAZNAS, BPS, and the Directorate General of Fiscal Balance (DJPK), covering 12 regencies/cities in West Sumatra Province. This study employs panel data regression analysis using EViews 12 software to examine the relationships among the variables. The results indicate that, partially, the distribution of ZIS funds and PAD have no significant effect on the poverty rate. In contrast, economic growth and unemployment rate have a negative and significant effect on the poverty rate. Simultaneously, all four independent variables are found to have a significant influence on the poverty rate. The coefficient of determination (Adjusted R²) is 0.123, indicating that 12.30% of the variation in the poverty rate can be explained by the variables in the study, while the remaining 87.7% is influenced by factors outside the model. The study provides policy implications suggesting that optimizing ZIS management, promoting inclusive economic growth, expanding employment opportunities to reduce unemployment, and utilizing PAD more effectively are crucial strategies for local governments and relevant institutions to effectively reduce the poverty rate in West Sumatra.

This study aims to analyze the effect of dividend policy and profitability on shareholder wealth in companies listed in the High Dividend 20 Index on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2019–2023 period. The research adopts a quantitative approach using secondary data obtained from the official IDX website (www.idx.co.id ).The population includes all issuers in the High Dividend 20 Index during the research period, and purposive sampling was applied to select 12 companies as the final sample. Data analysis techniques involved classical assumption testing, multiple linear regression, and hypothesis testing to determine the influence of independent variables on shareholder wealth. The statistical analysis was performed using EViews 12 Student Version software.The findings reveal that the Dividend Payout Ratio (DPR) does not have a significant effect on shareholder wealth, implying that dividend distribution is not the main factor influencing investor value in the observed companies. In contrast, Return on Assets (ROA) demonstrates a significant positive effect, which highlights the importance of profitability in driving shareholder wealth. These results suggest that investors may place greater emphasis on a company’s ability to generate earnings rather than its dividend distribution policy when assessing firm value. The study contributes to the literature on dividend policy and corporate performance by providing evidence from the Indonesian capital market, particularly within firms that consistently distribute high dividends.

This study aimed to determine and analyze the influence of financial ratios on profit changes in telecommunications companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2019–2023 period. The financial ratios used in this study encompass four main groups: liquidity ratios, solvency ratios, activity ratios, and profitability ratios. This study employed a quantitative approach with an associative nature because it attempted to examine the relationship and influence between these financial variables on profit changes. The population in this study comprised all telecommunications companies listed on the IDX, while the sample selection was conducted using a purposive sampling technique with specific criteria, resulting in 15 eligible companies. The research data were then analyzed using panel data regression using EViews 12 software, with the best model selected being the Random Effect Model (REM). The results showed that simultaneously, liquidity, solvency, activity, and profitability ratios significantly influenced profit changes, thus concluding that the company's overall financial performance plays a significant role in determining the dynamics of profit generated. However, partial test results showed that the influence of each ratio was different. The solvency ratio has a significant negative effect on profit changes, indicating that the higher a company's debt level, the greater the risk of profit decline. Conversely, the profitability ratio has a significant positive effect, confirming that a company's ability to generate net profit is a major factor in increasing profit changes. Meanwhile, the liquidity ratio and activity ratio were not shown to have a significant effect on profit changes, indicating that short-term liquidity and operational efficiency are not sufficient to be the primary determinants in driving profit changes in the telecommunications sector.

This study examines the connection between the growth of tourism and the income generated locally in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, focusing on the period before and after the operation of Yogyakarta International Airport in 2019. The research problem lies in understanding whether the expansion of transportation infrastructure has altered the determinants from Regional Own-Source Revenue (PAD), especially derived from the tourism sector. The objective is to analyze the influence of tourist numbers, tourist attractions, labor force participation rate (LFPR), and the number of restaurants on PAD across five districts/cities. The study employs panel data regression using data from 2013–2024 and the EViews 12 statistical tool. The findings reveal that the amount of tourists consistently exerts a positive and substantial impact on PAD in both periods, though its magnitude declined after the airport’s operation. Tourist attractions, however, became positively and significantly associated with PAD only in the post-airport period, suggesting a stronger role of destination availability in revenue generation. In contrast, LFPR and the total of restaurants show no significant effect on PAD during either period. These findings highlight a structural shift in PAD sources, with tourism remaining relevant but gradually overshadowed by other emerging sectors such as logistics after the airport’s establishment. The study concludes that while the airport contributed to diversifying economic activity, local governments should optimize tourism potential in parallel with new growth sectors to sustain balanced revenue generation

This study aims to analyze the factors influencing the success of development in Kesiman Kertalangu Village. The factors examined include village institution revenue, labor force, investment, and community participation. Development, in general, can be defined as efforts to enhance the productivity of resources owned by a region, such as natural resources, human resources, and financial resources. However, development in Kesiman Kertalangu Village faces challenges, namely changes in economic structure and land use conversion, which impact the regional development. This research employs a quantitative approach with multiple linear regression analysis to examine the relationship between independent variables (village institution revenue, labor force, investment, and community participation) and the dependent variable (village development success). The data used are secondary time series data collected annually from 1995 to 2024. Data were gathered through literature review by obtaining information from credible official sources, including government agencies, the Central Bureau of Statistics, and the Kesiman Kertalangu Village Office. Data analysis was conducted using Eviews 12 software. The results indicate that village institution revenue, labor force, investment, and community participation simultaneously have a significant effect on the success of development in Kesiman Kertalangu Village. Moreover, labor force, investment, and community participation have a positive and significant partial effect on development success, while village institution revenue has a positive but not significant partial effect. The findings also reveal that investment is the most dominant factor influencing the success of development in Kesiman Kertalangu Village. Theoretically, the finding that investment has a dominant influence on the success of Kesiman Kertalangu Village development strengthens the Solow growth model, Robert Chambers' participatory theory, and Amartya Sen's capacity building concept. Practically, the research results provide strategic direction for village governments and stakeholders in designing participation- based development policies, increasing fiscal capacity, and empowering local workers.

This research investigates the influence of profitability, the independent board of commissioners, and the audit committee on sustainability report disclosure, with managerial ownership as a moderating variable. A quantitative approach was employed in this study. The research population comprised companies listed in the LQ45 index on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during 2018–2021. A purposive sampling method was applied, resulting in a sample of 30 companies with 120 observational data points. The analytical techniques utilized included descriptive statistics and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA), conducted using the EViews 12 software. The findings reveal that profitability and audit committee presence do not significantly impact the disclosure of sustainability reports, whereas the independent board of commissioners positively influences such disclosures. Furthermore, managerial ownership does not moderate the relationship between profitability, the independent board, and the audit committee with sustainability reporting. This study contributes to the literature by incorporating managerial ownership as a moderating variable in examining the determinants of sustainability report disclosure.

Financial distress refers to a company’s persistent inability to meet financial obligations, signaling severe monetary strain that precedes formal bankruptcy or liquidation proceedings. This study investigates the impact of intellectual capital (VAICTM), operational capacity (TATO), capital structure (DER), and operating cash flow (OCF) on financial distress (Altman Z-Score), with profitability (ROA) serving as a mediating variable. The theoretical framework of this research is grounded in signaling theory, agency theory, and resource-based view theory. The study focuses on basic materials companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) between 2019 and 2023. The study utilized criterion-based sampling to select qualified respondents. Secondary datasets were analyzed through panel regression and path analysis, with Eviews 12 as the computational tool. Key findings include: (1) intellectual capital and operating capacity demonstrate a statistically significant positive influence on profitability; (2) capital structure exerts a significant adverse impact on profitability; (3) operating cash flow exhibits no statistically discernible impact on profitability; (4) both operating cash flow and profitability are positively and significantly associated with increased financial distress; (5) capital structure displays a significant inverse relationship with financial distress severity; (6) intellectual capital and operating capacity show no statistically significant associations with direct financial distress prediction; (7) profitability partially mediates the influence of intellectual capital, operating capacity, and capital structure on financial distress; and (8) profitability does not serve as a mediating variable between operating cash flow and financial distress.
