The Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) model is the model chosen to explain the influence between variables. The variables used in projecting the tourism sector in this study are foreign exchange receipts in the tourism sector, the number of workers in the tourism industry, and travel services. The results showed that foreign exchange receipts in the tourism and travel services sectors positively influence Indonesia’s economic growth. Conversely, the variable number of workers in the tourism industry is detrimental to economic growth in Indonesia. Furthermore, it is known that foreign exchange receipts in the tourism sector and workers in the tourism industry significantly impact economic growth in Indonesia. Meanwhile, the increase in travel services in Indonesia has not been able to contribute to Indonesia’s economic growth in the 2006–2021 time period.","PeriodicalId":510668,"journal":{"name":"WSEAS TRANSACTIONS ON BUSINESS AND ECONOMICS","volume":" 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140992404","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Indonesia has great potential, but can the potential be maximized by the government in the direction of a better and environmentally friendly energy policy. This study analyzes the movement of renewable energy and CO2 emissions to the Indonesian economy from 1990-2021, using the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) statistical method by considering short-term and long-term results in the model. The results show that in the long and short-term economy the role of GDP per unit of energy use for the economy is needed and has a positive effect, the role of carbon emissions in the short and long term CO2 has a positive and significant direction, non-renewable energy in the long term and short term is still moving negative and significant, this indicates that renewable energy in Indonesia tends to be low, energy replacement must be carried out slowly and gradually, shock response conditions conclude when GDP energy use and CO2 are affected by a negative shock will disrupt economic development, meanwhile, if there is a negative shock on consumption Renewable energy still tends to be stable and positive for the development of the Indonesian economy.","PeriodicalId":510668,"journal":{"name":"WSEAS TRANSACTIONS ON BUSINESS AND ECONOMICS","volume":"66 S14","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141017905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In today’s world, where globalization and competition are running high, making smart financial moves is crucial for a company’s success. Most studies on traditional finance have been mostly focused on analyzing how a company’s everyday performance is connected with the amount of debt. These studies try to investigate the complex relationship between financial leverage and the factors that make a company successful. Deferent researchers have been looking into the basic details of financial leverage, focusing on theories like the pecking order, which suggests that companies Fprefer using their own money rather than borrowing from outside. Despite having an assembly of theories, there’s no one answer for how a company should balance its money or which financial moves guarantee success. Every business is different, dealing with unique challenges in its way. Understanding how a company acquires its funding and where it originates plays a crucial role for businesses aiming to economize while trying to achieve substantial growth. This highlights how important it is to set up a money plan that looks out for the company’s interests. Interestingly, in a market where there’s no tax on money moves, the way a company sets up its money doesn’t seem to change how much it’s worth. Businesses have room to refine how much debt they carry, both in the short and long term, based on big investment decisions and the need for quick cash. The exact effect of leverage depends on several variables, such as the firm’s risk appetite, the state of the economy, and the dynamics of the industry. To summarize, the main goal of this empirical investigation is to clarify the relationship between financial leverage and the performance curve of Albania’s second-level banks throughout the ten years from 2012 to 2022. This investigation seeks to clarify if financial leverage methods were modified by Albanian banks, especially second-level banks, in response to changing market dynamics and regulatory changes, and how these modifications affected the banks’ overall performance.","PeriodicalId":510668,"journal":{"name":"WSEAS TRANSACTIONS ON BUSINESS AND ECONOMICS","volume":"93 S1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141021936","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When building the model, the authors used the method of correlation and regression analysis, including calculations of pairwise regression, as well as the method of building statistical equations. Statistical data on the volume of financing of SMEs in agriculture by way of own funds, government resources (concessional lending, subsidies, and leasing), and non-state sources of financing such as borrowed funds from banks, microfinance organizations, credit partnerships, and leasing companies were used as the factors. Firstly, the results of the study showed that such factors as bank lending and leasing financing by private companies do not have a significant impact on production volumes. Secondly, of all the factors analyzed, the greatest impact on gross output was made by financing by microfinance organizations and credit partnerships, which determines and indicates the need for the development of non-state sources of financing. Thirdly, a comprehensive approach combining state financial support as well as available non-state financial resources is needed to achieve the strategic objectives of economic development and ensure the required level of food security.","PeriodicalId":510668,"journal":{"name":"WSEAS TRANSACTIONS ON BUSINESS AND ECONOMICS","volume":"5 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140083268","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
