The Demand and Supply of Major Medical Equipments and Policy Recommendations

The study examines the determinants of Islamic financial inclusion in Indonesia by applying Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) and Binary Logistic Regression. Through a field survey across Indonesia’s five main islands, the study gathered responses from 291 primary data samples. The study discovered that Islamic financial inclusion in Indonesia is determined by both the demand and supply sides. Two most significant determinants of Islamic financial inclusion in Indonesia from the demand side are financial literacy and social influence while on the supply side is human capital. The study also includes references and policy recommendations to help Indonesia’s financial regulators in formulating effective policies and strategies to foster the country’s Islamic financial inclusion agenda.

Simulation Results

The demand of garlics in Bali is considerably high and exceed the capability of farmers in Bali to produce garlics. Therefore garlics were supplied from other islands of Indonesia. Demand of garlics will increase along with the increasing number of population and the number of foods industry. The aims of this research were to determine the factors that affect demand and supply garlic, to analyze the stock of garlics, and policy recommendations which can be implemented to provide sufficient garlics in Bali, therefore the price will remain stable. This research was conducted in Bali Province using a system dynamics modelling, with the length of simulation period from 2012 to 2024. The research results showed the factors that affected of garlic stock in Bali were the production of garlics, demand of garlics, inter island supply and price. Further, the simulation results showed that the production of garlics in Bali wasn’t able to fulfill the demand of garlics therefore it affected the price. So, it requires inter-island supply to stabilize price and to fulfill the demand of garlics. Based on some simulation scenarios, the most effective policy could be developed in order to minimize inter-island supply and stabilize prices is through increasing garlic planting area of 35%/year and increasing land productivity of garlic plantation of 5 ton/year. Keywords: system dynamics, availability of garlic, Bali Province.

Significant Attention

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected our cities in monumental ways with no sector likely being more severely impacted than transport. Lockdowns, physical spacing, transport restrictions and stay-at-home guidelines have transformed personal mobility and highlighted the mistakes of an unbalanced pro-car culture that defined a century of urban planning. One immediate effect of the virus in relation to travel demand and supply was the emergence of active travel modes because of their unique ability to provide a socially distanced way of transport. Cycling is one of the modes that has enjoyed significant attention. Numerous cities have reallocated street and public space to cyclists and introduced pro-bike interventions like pop-up cycle lanes, e-bike subsidies, free bike-share use and traffic calming measures. This newly found outbreak-induced momentum creates an opportunity to establish a new ethos that allows the promotion of potentially permanent strategies that may help cycling to be (re-)established as a robust, mainstream and resilient travel mode for inner city trips and not as a second-class alternative operating under the automobile’s giant shadow. This paper provides a state-of-the-art description of the anti-COVID cycling-friendly initiatives that have been introduced globally, the successes and failures of these initiatives, the lessons learnt that can help us redefine the bicycle’s role in local societies today and a best cycling practice policy guide for planning a more bike-centric future.

Theoretical Issues

This article examines the implications of using waiting times, rather than co-payments, as a rationing device. It discusses theoretical issues, empirical and policy issues, and the meaning of an optimal waiting time. The theoretical part includes theories concentrating on the demand side and the supply side. The empirical part contains studies on the implied cost of waiting from market data and estimates of demand and supply elasticities. This article states that in the absence of an over-arching welfare analysis both empirical work and policy recommendations are inevitably piecemeal and open to debate. It also describes the relationship between waiting times and the private sector. It investigates the effectiveness of different policy instruments. Finally, it suggests issues for future research.
