Purpose -This study aims to assess the efficiency and stability of Indonesia Islamic Commercial Banks, and then the results are used as a projection in the Covid-19 period. It uses the sample from 14 Islamic Commercial Banks in Indonesia and its quarterly data from 2017 to 2020.Methodology -The DEA method analyses VRS and CRS scale using output orientation. The Panel ARDL also uses two models from the specifications in DEA, with the inputs as independent variables and the outputs as dependent variables.Findings -The result of DEA is visualized in four quadrants from each CRS and VRS model. Respectively in each model, 1 and 5 banks are highly efficient and stable, 5 and 2 banks have high efficiency but low stability, 4 and 2 banks have low efficiency but high stability, 4 and 5 banks have low efficiency and stability. In the Panel ARDL, third party fund, operational expenses, and total financing have significant and stable long-run effect in both models. In the short-run, only operational expenses significantly affect operational earnings, whereas only total financing significantly affects total assets.Practical implications -Banks may use strategies such as absorbing workforces as marketing representatives, utilizing cooperative agreements, crowdfunding, improving banking technology, creating provisions on expected credit loss, and deferring profit.Research limitations -The limitation of this study is the small sample size because only 14 Islamic commercial banks are used as the sample, without considering the Islamic business units of the conventional banks so the predictive strength of the result only constrained in the Islamic commercial banks.Originality -The study uses two different methods in assessing Islamic Commercial Banks especially in the Covid-19 period, hence adding insights on Islamic Commercial Banks in the pandemic period and further contributes to the Islamic banking field of study.

<p>This study aims to assess the technology-based service effectiveness on bank profitability as well as to evaluate the efficiency and stability of Islamic Commercial Banks in Indonesia. The model was analyzed by using multiple linear regressions with generalized least square estimation technique and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) with data are gathered from Q1 2017 to Q2 2020. The exogenous variables included were Branchless Banking (BB), Third-party Funds (DPK), and Technology Service Quality (TSQ), with banking operational income (PENDOP) as endogenous variable.<strong> </strong>The DEA method analyses the VRS and CRS scale while using output orientation. Using the inputs of DPK, operational expenses, and total funding, with the outputs of operational earnings and total assets. The main finding suggests that DPK played as a dominant variable, following by TSQ and BB on bank operational income. Moreover, the results of the DEA models showed in four quadrants in each CRS and VRS model. Respectively, 1 and 5 banks are highly efficient and stable, 5 and 2 banks have high efficiency but low stability, 4 and 2 banks have low efficiency but high stability, 4 and 5 banks have low efficiency and stability in the CRS and VRS model. <strong></strong></p>

Purpose – This research investigates the factors of foreign investment inflows (PMA) that are encouraged in the member countries of the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council).Methodology - The sample selection for observations was based on six countries, including the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia. The data for this study were obtained from the World Bank and Asian Development Bank (ADB) database for the period 2002-2018. This study adopts panel regression analysis and uses the Random Effect Model.Findings - This research reveals that GDP and Inflation are positive and play a significant role in driving FDI inflows in GCC countries. Meanwhile, Political Stability (PSAV) does not have a substantial impact on FDI inflows in the GCC countries. This study shows that the GCC countries must provide a conducive investment environment that is represented by higher GDP growth and is involved in various international trade agreements as these factors have a higher likelihood of impacting inflows FDI. Other than that, rules describing investment priorities among members should be ratified immediately to reduce the percentage of FDI inflows out of GCC countries. Thus, this research provides significant insights for policymakers for the GCC countries to attract FDI inflows into the country.Keywords: Foreign Direct Investment, Gulf Cooperation Council Panel Regression.

Problematika yang dihadapi negara Indonesia adalah dimana tren pertumbuhan impor Indonesia lebih besar daripada ekspor Indonesia. Hal ini terbukti bahwa hingga tahun 2018, jumlah nilai ekpor mencakup Migas-NonMigas mencapai $180.012,7 sedangkan nilai Impor Migas-NonMigas lebih tinggi sebesar $188.711,2 terdapat selisih sebesar $8.699 dalam satuan Juta US$, dalam kondisi tersebut, dikhawatirkan akan terjadi defisit neraca perdagangan. studi ini mencoba menganalisis ketahanan dari sektor ekonomi perdagangan secara internasional dengan model gravitasi. Metode penelitian pada studi ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan regresi panel menggunakan teknik pengambilan sample purposive sampling dengan kriteria khusus pada negara mitra dagang Indonesia yang tergabung dalam ASEAN+3 yaitu negara Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, dan Philippines selama tahun 2010 - 2018. Dengan variabel dependennya adalah total impor alat transportasi ringan dan besar, kemudian variabel independennya adalah gross domestic product harga konstan negara Indonesia, gross domestic product harga konstan negara mitra dagang, jarak, dan investasi asing langsung. Hasil dari penelitian ini variabel independen berdampak signifikan secara simultan dengan variabel dependen, dan secara parsial variabel jarak tidak berdampak secara signifikan. Salah satu alternatif ketahanan nasional sektor ekonomi perdagangan adalah dengan menciptakan ekosistem arus penanaman modal asing yang ramah secara kebijakan sehingga dapat mengurangi ketergantungan impor di negara Indonesia dengan negara mitra dagang.

Background: Stunting is included in the category of chronic nutritional problems in children which is currently a top priority for nutritional problems in Indonesia. The condition of stunting can be described through the nutritional status of under-five during the growth and early development period of life caused by a lack of child nutrition at the age of the golden period or the 1000 HPK period (the first 1000 days of life). The prevalence of stunting in Indonesia reached 24.4% in 2021, which has decreased from 2018, which was 30.8%, this figure is high when compared to the world's stunting prevalence of (21.7%). The stunting prevention and control program (children born shortly) during the Covid-19 pandemic still needs to be reviewed and re-evaluated to optimize efforts to reduce the incidence of stunting. Objective: Knowing the description of the evaluation of the stunting prevention program as an effort to optimize the reduction in the incidence of stunting in the Covid-19 Pandemic era. Discussion: This journal article was written with inclusion criteria related to the stunting prevention program from 2021 to 2022 during the Covid-19 pandemic. The focus of the stunting prevention program led to the selection of ten journal articles for review in the writing of this journal article. According to the findings of the literature review, the evaluation of stunting prevention programs during the Covid-19 pandemic was quite good when implemented offline. Directly implemented programs effectively increase understanding of the intended research objectives. The results obtained through the stunting prevention program are aimed at research objectives, namely, the aim is to understand and understand the dangers of stunting in children, how to treat and prevent stunting in children, and how to prepare solid complementary food or healthy complementary food for stunted children. Conclusion: The health coaching approach to stunting targets uses various educational media and the provision of MP-ASI and PMT, which has been extensively researched, and is considered very effective in increasing public awareness paying attention to health, especially fulfilling nutrition during the Covid-19 pandemic, so that efforts to reduce the incidence rate of stunting can be optimized.
