The Indonesian real estate market has shown promising development in recent years, attracting investors seeking lucrative opportunities. This research aims to increase the success rate of real estate investments in Indonesia by examining the connection between macroeconomic factors and consumer behavior. This study employs vector autoregression (VAR) models to investigate the influence of macroeconomic data on the Indonesian house price index (HPI). We intend to determine the primary determinants of the HPI by analyzing various macroeconomic indicators, including GDP growth, CPI, crude oil, interest rates, and the unemployment rate. In addition, the research investigates the role of consumer behavior in Indonesian real estate searches. Real estate developers and investors can gain valuable insight into the effect of consumer preferences, motivations, and decision-making processes on demand functions by understanding consumer preferences, incentives, and decision-making processes. A comprehensive analysis of historical data and econometric modeling techniques are employed to accomplish research objectives. The research is conducted using pertinent macroeconomic indicators, real estate market data, and consumer surveys.

One time series model developed to predict economic data is Spatial Vector Autoregressive with Exogenous Variables (SpVARX). This model can accommodate simultaneously the interrelationships between variables, the impact of exogenous variables, and Inter-regional linkages. However, this model has not adjusted the nonlinearity relationships between variables. The relationship between economic variables is usually not linear. Therefore, we introduce the Threshold Spatial Vector Autoregressive with exogenous variables (TSpVARX). This paper assesses the forecasting performance of TSpVARX and compares it with SpVARX models. We conducted a simulation study by generating 100 times the simulation data with twelve scenarios. We found that the forecasting performance of the TSpVARX model is better than SpVARX when there is a nonlinear relationship between variables. In addition, we find that the forecasting performance of TSpVARX models will improve as the sample size increases.

This study investigates how knowledge-oriented leadership impacts on innovation performance both directly and indirectly mediated electronic based knowledge management systems (e-based KMS). Where, electronic knowledge management system consists of knowledge management infrastructures, and knowledge management processes. Primary data was obtained through a questionnaire given to 110 managers or directors of the manufacturing company as respondents. In addition, data were also obtained through observation techniques, and interviews with respondents. Both descriptive statistical analysis, and structural equation modelling (SEM) was used as an analysis method. The findings suggest that knowledge-oriented leadership has a positive, direct, and significant influence on knowledge management infrastructures as well as knowledge management processes. However, knowledge-oriented leadership has no direct influence on innovation performance. The findings also indicate that electronic knowledge management systems that consist of knowledge management infrastructures, and knowledge management processes have a direct, positive, and significant influence on innovation performance. This study suggested that there are two key pathways for businesses to improve their innovation performance i.e.: enhancing the technological, cultural, and structural infrastructure of the company, and enhancing knowledge creation, use, and utilization.

This study examines the impact of Digital Zakat Management, Transparency in Zakat Reporting, and the Zakat Payroll System on Zakat Growth Acceleration, with Zakat Management Accountability as the mediating factor. Data from muzakki and Zakat institutions were collected through surveys and questionnaires, and regression and correlation analyses were used to assess the relationships between variables. The findings reveal that digital Zakat management positively impacts Zakat management accountability and Zakat growth acceleration. Transparency in Zakat reporting also has a positive effect on Zakat management accountability. However, the Zakat payroll system does not significantly influence Zakat management accountability or Zakat growth acceleration through mediation. The study underscores the importance of accountability as a mediator between digitalization, transparency, and Zakat growth, offering insights for Zakat institutions to optimize their practices and promote equitable social impact. Future research should consider qualitative methods and comprehensive variables to understand Zakat dynamics better.

This study aims to explain the role of Tri Hita Karana-based business strategies and digital marketing strategies in improving sustainable business performance. The population of this study was traditional tai-weaving SMEs in Bali. The sample size was 195 managers of traditional ikat weaving SMEs with a purposive sampling method. The analysis technique used is Path Analysis using SEM-PLS. The results show that government and environmental orientation had a positive and significant effect on sustainable business performance, while digital orientation had no significant effect on sustainable business performance. Environmental orientation had a positive and significant effect on Tri Hita Karana's business strategy, and environmental orientation had an insignificant effect on digital marketing strategy. Furthermore, Tri Hita Karana's business and digital marketing strategies positively and significantly affected sustainable business performance. Therefore, it is essential for traditional tai-weaving SMEs in Bali to intensify the implementation of Tri Hita Karana and digital marketing strategies to improve sustainable business performance.

Coffee shops have now evolved into an integral part of the modern lifestyle embraced by today's youth, especially by Generation Z. This study aims to understand the role of technology, specifically through Social Media Usage (SMU) and Electronic Word-Of Mouth (eWOM), and how trust as a mediator affects purchase intention and subsequently impacts customer loyalty. This study involved 282 respondents from diverse backgrounds. The sampling technique employed both snowballing and random sampling methods. For analysis, the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) technique was utilized. In the study, several relationships were tested for their significance. The relationship between SMU and Trust was found to be significant. However, the relationship between eWOM and Trust was not significant. Trust significantly influenced Purchase Intention and Customer Loyalty. The direct relationship between Purchase Intention and Customer Loyalty was not significant. Moreover, the mediated relationships of SMU through Trust to Purchase Intention were significant, while the mediated relationship of eWOM through Trust to Purchase Intention was found to be non-significant. This investigation illuminates the distinct confluence of age-old values and contemporary digital interactions in sculpting consumer behavior within Indonesia. It accentuates the imperative for coffee shop enterprises to discern and synergize with these trends to guarantee enduring prosperity.

The development of social media technology has an impact on the welfare of users but has side effects on communication and behavior when used excessively. Excessive use of social networking sites impacts user behavior in obtaining fast information and sharing information with other users to show their strengths as a personal profile. Data was collected on young adults who made purchases on credit with pay letters as many as 210 users of social media Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube. The analysis used in the study used Partial Least Square version 4. The research data was obtained by distributing questionnaires via Google Forms. The study results show that excessive SNS use influences money attitudes, including money anxiety, trust, and power. The money trust that users have has an impact on money power. Money attitude affects credit application PayLater overuse behavior. The results showed that money trust did not impact increasing credit application PayLater overuse behavior, while money power and money anxiety influenced credit application PayLater overuse behavior. Research makes a practical contribution for SNS users to continue using it reflectively, so it does not interfere with work activities, family relationships, and the responsible use of money. The theoretical contribution enriches the theory of money behavior, e-payment, and money attitude using social media.
