The impacts were analyzed both directly and indirectly.</p> <p><strong>Design/methodology/approach</strong></p> <p>Using Partial Least Squares, natural disaster, regional economic growth, poverty, unemployment, and human development index as the variables with their own indicators.</p> <p><strong>Findings</strong></p> <p>This study finds that the direct effects of natural disasters are a significant reduction in regional economic growth, an insignificant increase in poverty, and a significant increase in unemployment. Furthermore, natural disaster have varying results in indirect effects.</p> <p><strong>Research limitations/implications </strong></p> <p>The limitation of this research is the use of natural disasters which only involves three types of natural disasters, as well as thirty provinces in Indonesia.</p> <p><strong>Originality/value</strong></p> <p>This study uses regional economic growth, unemployment, and poverty variables as intervening variables to determine the effect of natural disasters on the human development index which there are still not many similar studies on the disaster economics approach.</p> Aulia Puja Ilham Copyright (c) 2023 Journal of Indonesian Applied Economics https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://jiae.ub.ac.id/index.php/jiae/article/view/1196 Tue, 28 Feb 2023 00:00:00 +0000 The Effect of the Effective Corporate Tax Rate Toward Investment Decision in Indonesian Public Company https://jiae.ub.ac.id/index.php/jiae/article/view/1236 <p><strong>Purpose</strong></p> <p>This research aimed to determine the effect of the effective tax rate in public company investment in Indonesia.</p> <p><strong>Design/methodology/approach</strong></p> <p>The research was conducted using firm data during 2008-2020 and considered the long-term investment concept. Meanwhile, the cross-section of 672 companies and the ordinary least square technique were used to get the estimation.</p> <p><strong>Findings</strong></p> <p>The estimation result showed that the effective tax rate has significant negative effect on fixed asset investment. If effective tax rate decrease, it can be because the company gets tax rate reduction incentives, conduct accelerated depreciation, fiscal reconciliation on the financial statement which can increase fixed asset investments. Moreover, the estimation also showed that the age of the company is able to strengthen the relationship between effective tax rate and company investment. The difference in domestic and foreign companies does not affect the elasticity ETR toward investment.</p> <p><strong>Research limitations/implications </strong>Based on the estimation result mentioned, it is expected to provide guidance in implementing incentive tax, which can encourage public company investment.</p> <p><strong>Originality/value</strong></p> <p>There are many studies on the effect of income tax rates, but the results cannot be used specifically in Indonesia since the tax sensitivity may be different based on the development level of the country and the characteristics of the company.</p> Yasinta Wahyu Pratiwi, Khoirunurrofik Copyright (c) 2023 Journal of Indonesian Applied Economics https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://jiae.ub.ac.id/index.php/jiae/article/view/1236 Tue, 28 Feb 2023 00:00:00 +0000 Measuring the Effectiveness of Electricity Distribution in Indonesian Provinces using DEA Bootstrap https://jiae.ub.ac.id/index.php/jiae/article/view/1237 <p><strong>Purpose</strong></p> <p>The aims of this research are to measure the efficiency of electricity distribution in 33 Indonesian provinces from 2010 to 2019.</p> <p><strong>Design/methodology/approach</strong></p> <p>The efficiency was measured using a two-step bootstrap analysis, i.e. DEA BCC and DEA Bootstrap.</p> <p><strong>Findings</strong></p> <p>This study finds that the efficiency estimation uses DEA BCC overestimate and that the proximity between electrical sources and customers becomes one of the supporting factors for the electricity distribution process and reduces losses. Furthermore, workforce input, nameplate capacity, and network length will be adjusted to customers; electricity demand needs as a component of the electricity distribution process from plants to consumers.</p> <p><strong>Research limitations/implications</strong></p> <p>This study uses the output of the number of customers and the amount of electricity distributed while the input variables use the amount of labor, installed capacity, and length of the distribution network.</p> <p><strong>Originality/value</strong></p> <p>This study uses DEA Bootstrap and the variables used in the study is a combination of variables that have been proven to affect electricity distribution and have never been applied in Indonesia.</p> Amalia Rahmawati, Setyo Tri Wahyudi, Rachmad Kresna Sakti Copyright (c) 2023 Journal of Indonesian Applied Economics https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://jiae.ub.ac.id/index.php/jiae/article/view/1237 Tue, 28 Feb 2023 00:00:00 +0000 Role of Commuting Time on Explaining Gender Wage Gap in Indonesia https://jiae.ub.ac.id/index.php/jiae/article/view/1223 <p><strong>Purpose</strong></p> <p>This research aims to identify the role of commuting time on explaining gender wage gap in Indonesia</p> <p><strong>Design/methodology/approach</strong></p> <p>Using dataset from National Labor Survey (Sakernas) 2019, this research estimated 33.6% wage gap between men and women.</p> <p><strong>Findings</strong></p> <p>The inclusion of commuting characteristics showed an increase of explained gender wage gap proportion from 14.2% to 22.6%. The commuting time variable contributes to 14.6% of the explained wage gap.</p> <p><strong>Research limitations/implications </strong></p> <p>From the results it can be identified that the increase of women’s commuting time has the potential to reduce gender wage gap in Indonesia.</p> <p><strong>Originality/value</strong></p> <p>Gender wage gap is a labor market discrimination issue that persists worldwide, including Indonesia. Previous researches pointed out that the gender wage gap in Indonesia is mainly composed of parts unexplained by demographic, human capital, and job characteristics. While the commuting characteristics have the potential to explain more of the gender wage gap, it is still underexplored in Indonesia.</p> Biyan Shandy Paramayudha Copyright (c) 2023 Journal of Indonesian Applied Economics https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://jiae.ub.ac.id/index.php/jiae/article/view/1223 Tue, 28 Feb 2023 00:00:00 +0000 New Face of Job Quality Challenge in India: Gig Worker Studies https://jiae.ub.ac.id/index.php/jiae/article/view/1246 <p><strong>Purpose</strong></p> <p>This research aims to describe the gig worker challenge and opportunity including job quality in India remembering that gig work is spreading rapidly among nations and has been the source of earning for most of the destitute population.</p> <p><strong>Design/methodology/approach</strong></p> <p>This research uses qualitative method with descriptive approach.

The three aggregate dimensions mainly focussing towards, economic, psychological and social well-being of employees.</p> <p><strong>Research limitations/implications </strong></p> <p>This research may use for government to improve the job quality of GIG worker. If nations could not come up with formal and permanent employment opportunities, the job quality of gig economy can at least be enhanced.</p> <p><strong>Originality/value</strong></p> <p>This study describes comprehensively by using interview to reveal challenge and opportunity in gig worker job quality in India.</p> Farhat Haque, Abdul Rahman Dard Copyright (c) 2023 Journal of Indonesian Applied Economics https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://jiae.ub.ac.id/index.php/jiae/article/view/1246 Tue, 28 Feb 2023 00:00:00 +0000
