Inflation could likely cause devastating impacts where high inflation can harmful economic and social circumstances. However, only limited studies try to find the impact of inflation on the quality of air. The aim of this study is to investigate the empirical linkage between inflation and air pollution in Indonesia covering the period of 1981 until 2017 by using an error correction model (ECM) methodological approach. The result of study suggests that in the short run, higher inflation is causing the lower level of air pollution. Similarly, in the long run, higher inflation is also affecting the lower level of air pollution. While there are a lot of negative impacts of inflation in Indonesia, the finding in this study indicates a positive impact of inflation in Indonesia, which is higher inflation can reduce the air pollution. The results seem contradict with the target of central bank of Indonesia to have a low but positive rate of inflation. Based on the findings, the study suggests the policymakers in Indonesia to support a robust role of inflation stability in achieving targets related to the reduction of air pollution.
The purpose of the study was to analyze the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on lecturer productivity based on functional positions. The research case study conducts at the Faculty of Economics, State University of Semarang. Respondents amounted to 129 lecturers who were divided based on functional positions. Collecting data is a questionnaire and analysis tools used Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA). The results of the study show that there is a significant difference in the productivity of lecturers who did Work from Office (WFO) and Work from Home (WFH) before and during the Covid-19 pandemic among lecturers who held functional positions as head lectors and teaching staff(not yet have a functional position). Providing motivation, especially for teaching staff related to career paths, must be carried out continuously and sustainably. Planning and mapping human resources according to competencies are essential through lecturer competency training.
