Nevertheless, this region is still faced with the performance of industrial development, which has yet to increase consistently, thereby worsening efficiency and economic growth. As a result, this paper aims to investigate the causes and consequences of capital efficiency in the context of East Java. This paper produces three results by employing the 3SLS simultaneous equation estimation method. First, this paper demonstrates that industrial development in East Java improves efficiency. Second, improving the education level has a positive effect on capital efficiency. Lastly, an increase in capital inefficiency leads to a negative effect on economic growth in East Java. This study suggests three key policies for accelerating economic growth in East Java: providing incentives to industries that can increase capital efficiency, developing innovations to increase capital efficiency, and improving education quality to encourage increased human resource productivity.JEL Classification: D24, O14, O4How to Cite:Santoso, D.

The efficiency of Islamic banks in Indonesia should be maintained by balancing the distribution of assets, ensuring portfolio diversification, maintaining sufficient liquidity, and paying attention to management quality. The originality of this study, to the best of the author's knowledge, is that it is the first study to examine the determinants of efficiency in Indonesian Islamic commercial banks using quarterly data from the period of 2015-2020.

The principal component analysis (PCA) and the cross-section threshold regression are employed. The main findings revealed that the threshold levels of public debt-to-GDP ratio for developed and developing countries in 2014 were 100.37% and 63.04%, while that in 2017 were 90.09% and 84.28%, respectively.

This study investigate the role of financial inclusion on household energy poverty in Indonesia. The energy poverty variable is measured by using multidimensional approach with five dimensions and six indicators which are cooking fuels, indoor pollution, lighting, ownership of household appliances, and supporting equipment for basic services such as education, entertainment, and communication. Financial inclusion is measured by using multidimensional approach based on household accessibility to financial institution such as banking, credit, and insurance services. Linear Probability Model (LPM) and Probit model was used to investigate the association between financial inclusion and energy poverty. The result finds that financial inclusion has a negative association with household energy poverty.
