The aim of this research is to investigate the effects of the free trade agreement between ASEAN-India (AIFTA) and ASEAN-Korea (AKFTA). The Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model was applied in this paper with a Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) database version 8. The GTAP simulations results show that AIFTA provides a greater positive impact than the AKFTA for each region. The greater improvement in terms of welfare, GDP, trade and investment is generated under the AIFTA scheme. Implication of this research is required of any reallocation of resources shared by each country heading on sectors which have a comparative advantage. AbstrakTujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menguji dampak kerjasama perdagangan bebas antara AEAN-India (AIFTA) dan ASEAN-Korea (AKFTA). Analisis penelitian ini menggunakan model Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) dengan pendekatan Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) versi 8. Hasil simulasi dengan GTAP menunjukkan bahwa AIFTA memberikan dampak positif yang lebih besar daripada AKFTA untuk setiap negara. AIFTA menghasilkan perubahan kesejahteraan, PDB, nilai perdagangan internasional dan investasi yang lebih besar. Implikasi dari penelitian ini adalah perlu adanya realokasi sumber daya dari tiap-tiap negara terhadap sektor-sektor yang memiliki keunggulan komparatif. Kebijakan yang mendukung FTA dimana memberikan keuntungan yang lebih besar sangat diperlukan.
Most upper-semester students who fail to graduate have an issue with their perceived academic writing competence (PAWC). PAWC is associated with writing self-efficacy (WSE) and writer's block (WB). Thus, improving WSE and decreasing WB are crucial for succeeding in the final project writing of the upper-semester students. Only limited studies focused on exploring academic writing practice for vocational students by survey strategy. This study used a quantitative approach to test the hypothesis that WSE and WB positively affect PAWC. Respondents were selected using random sampling involving 200 students from a vocational school in Surakarta. Respondents filled survey about PAWC, WSE, and WB consisting of 18 items. The hypothesis was tested by multiple regression analysis. The study results revealed that WSE and WB are positively correlated with PAWC. This research implies that faculty members are advised to focus on encouraging WSE and reducing WB to improve AW competence through curriculum improvements. With the increase in students' academic writing skills, the classic problem of late completion of studies due to late writing of the final project can be solved.
This study aims to examine the influence of economic, environmental, and social factors on manufacturing sustainability, which subsequently affects community development as reflected by well-being and social capital. The research was conducted at Kampung Batik Laweyan, one of the oldest batik industry communities in Indonesia. Data were obtained using questionnaires and analyzed using Structural Equation Model (SEM). The results showed that economic, environmental, and social factors significantly influence manufacturing sustainability, community well-being, and social capital. It also shows that the presence of the batik industry largely determines the existence of the Kampung Batik Laweyan community as a manifestation of the stability of the Triple Bottom Line concept, namely, economic, environmental, and social factors. This study is expected to be a model for interested parties in preserving the existence of Laweyan as a batik village in Indonesia.
