Analysis of Taxpayer Compliance Levels in The Payment of Motor Vehicle Tax (PKB) at The Samsat Office of Bantaeng Regency

Natasya, M.Ridwan Tikollah, Mukhammad Idrus
Abstract: This study aims to analyze the level of taxpayer compliance in paying Motor Vehicle Tax at the Samsat Office of Bantaeng Regency. The research uses a descriptive quantitative and qualitative approach with data collection… techniques through documentation, interviews, and observation. Quantitative analysis is carried out by measuring the formal compliance ratio based on the number of taxpayers who pay on time compared to the number of registered taxpayers, while qualitative analysis is conducted through indicators of awareness, compliance with due dates, compliance with regulations, willingness to pay, and views on Samsat services. The results of the study indicate that the level of taxpayer compliance is relatively high, but it shows a tendency to decrease from year to year. The decrease is influenced by the increasing number of registered vehicles that is not matched by an increase in awareness, the economic factors of the community, and delays in payment due to other priority needs. Service innovations such as mobile services and digital convenience contribute positively, but have not fully encouraged optimal compliance. This study confirms that improving compliance requires continuous education strategies, strengthening public services, and consistent supervision

Susanto, Muh. Asra’ul Khairi, Astuty, Sri, Syafri, Muhammad, Andriani, Shadry, Bado, Basri
Abstract: Poverty remains one of the major development challenges in South Sulawesi, particularly in regencies with relatively high poverty rates. This study aims to examine the effects of Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) growth,&#8230; owth, educational attainment, and the open unemployment rate on poverty across nine regencies in South Sulawesi during the 2016–2025 period. This research employed a quantitative approach using panel data obtained from the Statistics Indonesia. The research sample consisted of nine regencies that consistently recorded high poverty rates, namely Selayar Islands Regency, Jeneponto Regency, Pangkajene and Islands Regency, Bone Regency, Enrekang Regency, Luwu Regency, Tana Toraja Regency, North Luwu Regency, and North Toraja Regency. The analytical method applied was panel data regression using the Common Effect Model (CEM), Fixed Effect Model (FEM), and Random Effect Model (REM), with the optimal model selected through the Chow test and Hausman test. The findings reveal that GRDP growth has a negative effect on poverty, educational attainment has a negative and statistically significant effect on poverty, whereas the open unemployment rate has a positive effect on poverty. Simultaneously, GRDP growth, educational attainment, and the open unemployment rate significantly influence poverty in South Sulawesi. These findings suggest that poverty alleviation policies should prioritize equitable economic growth, improvements in educational quality, and the expansion of productive employment opportunities.

Determinants of Net Interest Margin in Indonesian Conventional Banks: Evidence from 2020–2024

Zannah, Cindy, Parlina, Nurhana Dhea
Abstract: This study aims to analyze the effect of Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), Non Performing Loan (NPL), and Operating Expenses to Operating Income (BOPO) on Net Interest Margin (NIM) in conventional banks listed on the Indonesia&#8230; ia Stock Exchange during the 2020-2024 period. This study uses a quantitative approach with an associative research design. The sample was selected using purposive sampling and consisted of 11 conventional banks, resulting in 55 firm-year observations. The data were obtained from annual financial reports, official publications, and relevant banking sources. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with IBM SPSS Statistics 25, while the Cochrane-Orcutt method was applied to correct positive autocorrelation in the final model. The results show that CAR has a positive and significant effect on NIM, while NPL and BOPO have negative but insignificant effects on NIM. Simultaneously, CAR, NPL, and BOPO have a significant effect on NIM. The adjusted R-square value of 0.099 indicates that the independent variables explain 9.9% of the variation in NIM. These findings imply that capital adequacy remains an important internal factor in maintaining net interest margins, while credit risk control and operational efficiency should continue to be improved.

Linking Product Quality to Electric Vehicle Purchase Decision: The Mediating Role of Brand Image in Makassar

Wardhana Haeruddin, Muhammad Ilham
Abstract: The purpose of this study is to examine how product quality influences consumers' decisions to buy electric cars in Makassar City, using brand image as a mediating factor. The swift expansion of electric vehicle adoption&#8230; necessitates a comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing customer purchasing behavior in this nascent sector. A quantitative methodology utilizing an explanatory study design was implemented to examine the causal links among the variables. The population comprised consumers who had acquired or utilized electric vehicles in Makassar City, while the precise population size remained unspecified. A purposeful non-probability sampling strategy was employed, resulting in 105 respondents who completed a structured online questionnaire sent using Google Forms. The data were analyzed utilizing SEM-PLS with SmartPLS to investigate both direct and indirect effects among the constructs. The findings demonstrate that product quality positively and significantly impacts purchase decisions, product quality positively and significantly influences brand image, and brand image positively and significantly affects purchase decisions. Additionally, brand image serves as a partial mediator in the correlation between product quality and purchasing decisions. The findings indicate that superior product quality in electric vehicles is more influential in influencing purchasing decisions when it concurrently cultivates a favorable brand image in consumers' perceptions, thus offering strategic insights for manufacturers and distributors in formulating marketing strategies that enhance both product quality and brand image.

Economic Loss Due To Mental Fragility in The Analysis of Provincial Economic Productivity in Indonesia

Taqwa, Muhammad, Soesilowati, Etty, Mukhlis, Imam
Abstract: Mental health is a strategic issue in economics because it affects the quality of human resources and regional economic productivity. This study aims to analyze the impact of schizophrenia, depression, and suicidal ideation&#8230; ion on economic losses across provinces in Indonesia and to examine the role of depression treatment as a mediating variable. The study employs a quantitative approach using explanatory research and a cross-sectional design based on secondary data from 2023. Data were obtained from the Indonesian Health Survey (SKI) by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia and Regional Gross Domestic Product (PDRB) data from the Central Statistics Agency, with 38 provinces in Indonesia as the units of analysis. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, multiple linear regression, and causal mediation analysis. The results of the study indicate that schizophrenia, depression, and suicidal ideation have a significant negative effect on economic loss, as proxied by per capita GRDP. Depression is the variable with the greatest negative impact on regional economic productivity. Furthermore, treatment for depression was found to act as a significant mediator capable of mitigating the negative impact of depression on economic loss. These findings indicate that improved access to mental health services contributes to increased community economic productivity and a reduction in regional economic losses. This study makes a theoretical contribution to the development of development economics and health economics research through the integration of mental health variables and regional economic productivity. Practically, the research results underscore the importance of integrating mental health services into regional development policies to improve the quality of human resources and reduce economic loss in Indonesia.
