Latar belakang penelitian ini berakar pada fenomena kemajuan yang tidak merata di antara indikator pembangunan di Sumatera Utara, di mana Indeks Pembangunan Manusia (IPM), meskipun diklasifikasikan dalam kategori “tinggi”, belum secara konsisten berkontribusi pada penurunan tingkat pengangguran. Tujuan utama penelitian ini adalah untuk menguji pengaruh IMB, tingkat kemiskinan, dan tingkat pengangguran terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi di Provinsi Sumatera Utara. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kuantitatif dengan analisis regresi linier berganda menggunakan data deret waktu dari tahun 2010 hingga 2025 yang bersumber dari BPS. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa secara simultan, IPM, kemiskinan, dan pengangguran secara signifikan mempengaruhi pertumbuhan ekonomi daerah. Secara parsial, IMB memiliki pengaruh positif dan signifikan, menunjukkan bahwa investasi dalam kualitas modal manusia meningkatkan produktivitas ekonomi. Sebaliknya, baik tingkat kemiskinan maupun tingkat pengangguran terbuka menunjukkan pengaruh negatif dan signifikan, yang menyiratkan bahwa peningkatan variabel-variabel ini cenderung menghambat ekspansi ekonomi. Lebih lanjut, variabel independen yang dimasukkan dalam model ini menjelaskan 49,49% variasi pertumbuhan ekonomi, sedangkan proporsi sisanya dijelaskan oleh faktor eksternal di luar cakupan penelitian ini. Hasil ini menyoroti pentingnya penerapan kebijakan yang menyelaraskan pengembangan sumber daya manusia dengan tuntutan pasar tenaga kerja untuk mengatasi masalah pengangguran terdidik.

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 investigates the impact of board characteristics on the financial performance of non-financial companies listed in the JII70 index in Indonesia. Motivated by the ongoing debate on the effectiveness of corporate governance mechanisms in enhancing firm outcomes, particularly within Sharia-compliant markets, this study focuses on three key board attributes: board size, board independence, and female representation on the board. Using a quantitative causal approach and panel data from 25 companies over the period 2020–2023, the study employs a fixed effect model to evaluate the relationship between board structure and financial performance measured by Return on Assets (ROA). The results show that board size has a positive and significant effect on firm performance, indicating that larger boards may enhance oversight capacity and provide broader resources beneficial to strategic decision-making. Conversely, board independence and board female representation do not exhibit significant effects on financial performance, suggesting that their roles may be more symbolic or constrained by institutional and contextual factors in the sampled companies. These findings highlight the importance of understanding corporate governance not merely in structural terms, but in relation to functional effectiveness and contextual maturity. The study offers implications for regulators, companies, and governance reform initiatives, particularly regarding strengthening substantive roles of independent and female commissioners in improving firm performance within Sharia-compliant markets.

This study aims to estimate changes in the Indonesian Sharia Stock Index (ISSI) from 2020 to 2025 using the Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model. The growth of the Islamic stock market in Indonesia has increased rapidly, driven by public awareness of investments that follow sharia principles, as well as changes in macro and microeconomic conditions, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic which has had a significant impact on the financial market. This study relies on monthly ISSI data taken from official sources and analyzed with a quantitative approach using the time series method using EViews version 13 software. Statistical analysis and stationarity tests indicate that the ISSI data exhibits an increasing trend pattern and quite high volatility, so that a differentiation process is necessary to achieve stationarity. Based on the results of model testing and the selection of optimal information criteria, the ARIMA (1,1,1) model was selected as the most appropriate to capture the autocorrelation pattern and produce accurate short-term predictions. Projections indicate a stable growth trend until the end of 2025, with an estimated index of more than 8.3 million. The findings of this study indicate that the ARIMA model is an effective tool for forecasting ISSI movements and can be a strategic consideration for investors, financial institutions, and policymakers in developing sustainable investment strategies in the Indonesian Islamic stock market.

Poverty, according to the World Bank (2000), is defined as "poverty is pronounced deprivation in well-being," meaning that poverty is the loss of well-being. This study aims to analyze the impact of income distribution inequality and the Human Development Index (HDI) on poverty in Indonesia. The research utilizes data sourced from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) report. The study focuses on 34 provinces in Indonesia between 2022 and 2024, examining income inequality and human development quality. The data analysis method used is panel data regression, which allows for analyzing the effects of these variables simultaneously. The findings of this study are: (1) income distribution inequality has a significant impact on poverty levels, indicating that the higher the income inequality, the higher the poverty rate in Indonesia; and (2) the Human Development Index (HDI) also affects poverty levels. The higher the HDI, the lower the poverty rate, suggesting that improvements in education, health, and well-being can reduce poverty. These findings emphasize the importance of reducing income inequality and improving human development quality as effective strategies to decrease poverty in Indonesia. Policies focused on equitable development and improving the quality of life for communities are essential for achieving more widespread well-being across all provinces.

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 aims to determine whether there is a significant difference in stock returns before and after stock splits among companies listed in the LQ-45 Index on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2019–2023 period. A stock split is a corporate action believed to provide a positive signal to investors. This research uses a quantitative approach with an event study method. The sample consists of 14 companies that carried out stock splits while being listed in the LQ-45 Index. Stock returns are calculated using an 11-day event window and a 60-day estimation period. The data analysis technique employed is the paired sample t-test to examine the difference in returns. The results show a significant difference, with a p-value of 0.006 < 0.05. However, the difference is negative, as most companies experienced a decline in stock returns after the stock split. This decrease may be caused by investors engaging in profit-taking after the stock split euphoria, or due to the short observation period, which may not have fully captured the market’s response. The author recommends that companies carefully consider the timing and implications of stock splits and ensure transparent communication with investors.

This study analyzes the effect of Total Asset Turnover (TATO), Earnings per Share (EPS), and Dividend Payout Ratio (DPR) on the stock prices of firms listed in the SRI-KEHATI Index during 2020–2024, employing a quantitative approach and multiple linear regression. The sample was selected purposively based on the following criteria: firms consistently included in the SRI-KEHATI Index throughout 2020–2024, availability of complete annual financial statements, and availability of dividend and stock price data for the observation period. The results indicate that TATO, EPS, and DPR jointly have a significant effect on stock prices, with R²=0.666, meaning 66.6% of the variation in stock prices is explained by the model, while 33.4% is influenced by other factors outside the model. Partially, EPS and DPR have positive and significant effects on stock prices, whereas TATO is not significant at the 5% level. The findings imply that investors in SRI-KEHATI constituents should prioritize per-share profitability (EPS) and dividend policy (DPR) in fundamental assessments, while TATO should be evaluated with regard to sectoral characteristics and each firm’s operational context.

This study aims to examine the influence of the Gini Ratio, Human Development Index (HDI), and Labor Force Participation Rate (LFPR) on the open unemployment rate in Lampung Province during the 2019–2023 period. The method used in the analysis is a fixed effect model approach with panel data regression, based on secondary data obtained from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) of Lampung Province. The results of the partial test (t-test) indicate that the three independent variables—the Gini ratio, HDI, and LFPR—do not have a significant effect individually on the open unemployment rate in the region. However, the adjusted coefficient of determination (adjusted R²) value of 88.95% indicates that the model can explain almost all the variation that occurs in the open unemployment rate. This shows that although these variables are statistically insignificant in the model, theoretically they still have an important role in explaining unemployment dynamics in Lampung, along with other factors not yet included in the model. This research provides a strong basis for further analysis in formulating unemployment reduction policies, particularly in regions with economic and social characteristics such as Lampung. Recommendations from this study point to the need for a more comprehensive policy approach that considers other macroeconomic variables such as investment, industrial sector growth, and the quality of education and job training to effectively and sustainably reduce unemployment at the regional level.

This article examines the impact of poverty and unemployment on the Human Development Index (HDI) in the West Java region. Poverty and unemployment are two key factors that play a role in reducing people's quality of life. This research utilizes secondary data from the Central Statistics Agency and other sources to analyze the relationship between poverty levels, unemployment levels and HDI developments in the region. The findings show that increasing poverty and unemployment have a significant negative effect on HDI, which includes health, education and income indicators. These results highlight the importance of comprehensive intervention policies to address the problems of poverty and unemployment in order to improve the quality of life and welfare of people in Indonesia.

This study aims to analyze the effect of unemployment rate and health on the Human Development Index (HDI) in Lampung. This study uses a quantitative method with multiple regression analysis to test the effect of independent variables (unemployment rate and health) on the dependent variable (HDI). The results of the study indicate that the unemployment rate has a significant positive effect on the HDI, where an increase in unemployment has the potential to increase the HDI figure. On the other hand, the health variable does not show a significant effect on the HDI, indicating that although the health program is running, other factors such as the economy and education are more dominant in determining the HDI. Simultaneously, unemployment and health contribute to changes in the HDI, but the dominance of unemployment appears stronger.

Securities companies are one of the key pillars in the capital market system. The performance of securities companies can be influenced by dynamic market conditions, particularly the fluctuations of Bitcoin, Indonesia Composite Index (ICI), and gold prices. This study aims to analyze the influence of Bitcoin, ICI, and gold prices on the financial performance of securities companies in Indonesia. The financial performance is measured using the profitability ratio, Net Profit Margin (NPM). The sample consists of quarterly secondary data from 24 securities companies that meet the research criteria during the 2021–2024 period. The analytical method used is multiple linear regression after passing classical assumption tests. The results show that gold prices have a negative and significant effect on the NPM of securities companies, while Bitcoin and ICI had no effect. This indicates that an increase in gold prices tends to be followed by a decrease in the NPM of securities companies, and vice versa. This research is expected to assist the management of securities companies in formulating business strategies and risk management that are more responsive to fluctuations in Bitcoin, ICI, and gold prices.  

Many regions in Indonesia face structural problems such as economic inequality. Economic inequality remains a significant obstacle to the development process, especially in developing countries such as Indonesia. The objective of this study is to determine the influence of Unemployment Rate, Education Index, and Poverty Rate on Economic Inequality in East Java Province. This study employs a quantitative method using secondary data analysis from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) for the years 2010–2023. The analysis method used is multiple regression with classical assumption tests. The results of the study indicate that the Education Index and Percentage of Poor Population variables have a significant and positive impact on economic inequality, while the unemployment rate has a significant but negative impact on economic inequality in East Java Province. These findings suggest the need for further analysis of other factors influencing economic inequality to achieve equitable welfare for the community. The implications of this study can serve as a reference for the government in formulating inclusive development policies to reduce economic inequality in East Java.
