HAPPINESS AND ISLAMICITY

This paper analysis relation andimpacts of Islamicity on happiness, with human development and global competitiveness as moderating variables.Cross-nations data on Islamicity, human development, global competitiveness and happiness were collected from 123 countries and employed in a path analysis model. The result showed that there were positive and very strong correlations between Islamicity and happiness (r14= 0.81), between global competitiveness and happiness (r34= 0.76), and between human development and happiness (r24= 0.82). Path coefficients indicated that direct impact of Islamicity on happiness was positive and significant (P41= 0.36), direct impact of global competitiveness on happiness was positive and significant (P43= 0.06), direct impact of human development on happiness was positive and significant (P42= 0.46). Indirectly, the impact of Islamicity on happiness, through global competitiveness was positive, but statistically not significant (P43-P31= 0.04), the impact of Islamicity on happiness through global competitiveness and human development was positive, but statistically not significant (P43-P32-P21= 0.01) and the impact of Islamicity on happiness through human development was positive and significant (P42-P21=0.39). Implication of this finding was that applying Islamic teaching and implementing the practice of human development would be very important to make people happy and to maintain happiness

Technical Efficiency and Return to Scale in the Indonesia Economy During the New Order and the Reformation Governments

This paper analyses technical efficiency and return to scale in the Indonesia economy during the year of 1967 to 2013. These range of years covering two eras of Indonesian government; the New Order era that lasted between the year of 1966 to 1998 and the Reformation era during the year 1998 to 2014. The analysis was also based on the Indonesia economy's business cycle those categorised as Oil Booming Phase (1967-1981), Recession Phase (1982-1986), Deregulation Phase (1987-1996), Multidimension Crisis Phase (1997-2001) and Economic Recovery Phase (2002-1013). Using data on Gross Domestic Product based on constant price of the year 2000, capital stock with the same based year and employment (1967-2013), Cobb-Douglas production functions were exercised to calculate technical efficiency and return to scale employing regression analysis tehniques. The results show that technical effiency during the New Order Goverment were better than those during Reformation Goverment

THE IMPACT OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE ON POVERTY ALLEVIATION IN INDONESIA

This paper examined the impact of technological change on poverty alleviation, with unemployment rate and economic growth as moderating variables, in Indonesia during the period of 10 years (2004-2013). This period was coincided with the two period of Yudhoyono Administration. Technological change was measured by total factor productivity (TFP) growth, unemployment was measured by open unemployment rate, economic growth was measured by the growth of Gross Domestic Product based on the year of 2000 constant price, and poverty alleviation was measured by the percentage of poor people. Impact analysis was conducted using SEM-Path Analysis techniques. Most data were directly gathered from the National Statistics Agency, except data on TFP growth. The results showed that first, technological change,directly, had a not significant positive impact on poverty alleviation (Path-1). Second, technological change, indirectly, had a positive significant impact on poverty alleviation (Path2). Third, technological change, indirectly, had a positive significant impact on poverty alleviation (Path-3). Fourth, technological change, indirectly, had positive significant impact on poverty alleviation (Path-4)
