The Government

Although the footwear industry is one sector of the small and medium industries which supported by the government, but the development of the industry is still relatively low. Various government policies have been made related to export and import settings, however the policies do not seem to provide significant benefits to the national development of the footwear industry. The condition is further exacerbated by the implementation of CAFTA (China-ASEAN Free Trade Agreement) in Indonesia.  The lack of preparedness of local industry in the face of Chinese products in the country is feared to suppress the competitiveness of local products become increasingly weak. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to analyze the factors that influence the development efforts of small and household footwear industries and to analyze the effect of CAFTA on the sustainability of small and household footwear industries. The research was conducted in Bogor (district  and city) which is a center of footwear industry in Indonesia. The respondent of the study consists of the leading small and household industries   taken by purposive sampling with 100 respondents. Data were analyzed using the statistical descripitive and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Based on SEM analysis, the results indicate that efforts to develop small and household footwear industries directly affected by motivation efforts of the entrepreneurs in this industry and the government policies that facilitate the entrepreneurs in this industry.  Increasing the development of business sustainability is also directly influenced by the characteristics of the entrepreneurs who are able to optimize productivity and the CAFTA implementation which is responded by good competitiveness from the local industry.

The Impact

Indonesia Japan Economic Partnership Agreement (IJ-EPA) is a bilateral free-trade agreement between Indonesia and Japan that has been started from July 1st, 2008. After more than a decade of its implementation, there is a question that we need to be addressed: Does liberalization of IJ-EPA make Indonesia’s export to Japan increase? This question is important since the government gives a trade-off by giving lower tariff for certain commodities agreed in agreement to increase export. Using Interrupted time series (ITS) analysis based on time-series data from Statistics Indonesia (BPS), this article found that the impact of IJ-EPA decreased for Indonesia export to Japan. Furthermore, this paper proposed some potential commodities that can increase the effectiveness of this FTA. The importance of this topic is that Indonesia will maximize the benefit in implementing of agreement that they made from the third biggest destination export of their total export value, so it will be in line with the government's goal to expand export market to solve current account deficit. In addition, the method that used in this paper can be implemented to other countries so that they can maximize the effect of Free Trade Agreement, especially for their export.

Village existence is very important for national development. Thus, uneven development between the Village and the City can cause many villagers who try their fortune in the city, leave the village and do not want to return to the Village. This research was conducted to determine the effect of human resource competence on financial accountability of village funds and the influence of the role of village heads on village financial accountability. The population in this study are all villages in the Sleman Regency. This research uses incidental sampling. The sample size uses the Slovin formula, with a minimum number of respondents of 71 villages. The analysis method uses structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis test. The conclusion of this study, namely that there is a significant influence between HR competencies on village financial accountability, meaning that if HR competencies are higher, the financial accountability of village funds is more accountable. There is a significant influence between HR competencies on the financial accountability of village funds, meaning that if HR competencies are higher, the financial accountability of village funds will be more accountable. There is a significant influence between the role of the village head on the financial accountability of village funds, meaning that if the role of the village head is higher, then the financial accountability of village funds is more accountable.

<p><strong>Abstract:</strong> The government encourages Vocational High Schools to carry out organizational transformation to become Regional Public Service Bodies. Through BLUD, SMKs with superior products can manage finances and production processes more flexibly without violating regulations so that school effectiveness can be achieved. This study aims to analyze the factors that influence SMK-BLUD schools' effectiveness through school independence using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) analysis. The data were obtained by distributing questionnaires to 231 respondents from students, teachers, school principals, and committees in 25 SMK-BLUDs in East Java and DKI Jakarta. It is known that the variables focus on customers, focus on processes, and continuous improvement have a positive and significant impact on school effectiveness. In addition, the independence of each school indirectly also has a positive and significant effect on school effectiveness. The results of this modeling show the value of Predictive Relevance (Q2) of 0.965, meaning that this model has a good Predictive Relevance.</p><strong>Abstrak: </strong>Pemerintah mendorong Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan (SMK) melakukan transformasi organisasi untuk menjadi SMK Badan Layanan Umum Daerah (SMK-BLUD). Melalui BLUD, SMK yang memiliki produk-produk unggulan dapat mengelola keuangan dan proses produksi secara lebih fleksibel tanpa melanggar peraturan sehingga efektivitas sekolah dapat tercapai. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi efektivitas sekolah SMK-BLUD melalui kemandirian sekolah menggunakan analisis PLS-SEM. Data diperoleh melalui penyebaran kuesioner kepada 231 responden dari siswa, guru, kepala sekolah, dan panitia di 25 SMK-BLUD di Jawa Timur dan DKI Jakarta. Diketahui bahwa variabel fokus pada pelanggan, fokus pada proses, dan perbaikan berkelanjutan memberikan pengaruh yang positif dan signifikan terhadap efektivitas sekolah. Selain itu, dengan adanya kemandirian setiap sekolah, secara tidak langsung juga memberikan pengaruh yang positif dan signifikan terhadap efektivitas sekolah. Hasil pemodelan ini menunjukkan nilai Predictive Relevance (Q<sup>2</sup>) sebesar 0.965, artinya model ini memiliki Predictive Relevance yang baik.

In June 2004, the United States signed a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with Morocco. FTAs are typically thought of as economic agreements, but the agreement with Morocco has an explicit security component. Indeed, US officials have cast the agreement as an opportunity to support a close ally in the region, and its signing coincides with Morocco's denomination as a non-NATO ally of the US. Yet even if the FTA achieves its stated economic goals — a very tall and ambitious order — it remains to be seen whether or not the benefits will extend to a society divided by enormous social cleavages. As a result, the US-Moroccan FTA and Morocco's new found stature in US security policy paradoxically run the risk of deepening societal resentment within Morocco toward the government and, by extension, the US.

Skills Shortages

Significance The kingdom offers better infrastructure and a more inviting regulatory environment than some of its neighbours, but also suffers from skills shortages and major challenges in ensuring that the benefits of economic growth are evenly distributed. Impacts The focus will be on existing strengths like automotive and textiles, while expanding the digital sector remains a more distant aspiration. Fears of exclusion from Europe’s strategic sphere may help spur compromise in stuttering talks on a deeper free trade agreement. The pandemic could prompt the kingdom to devote more attention to building a truly indigenous industrial and knowledge base. A national development model, established in January, may help redress some imbalances in the distribution of economic benefits.

The Subject

The authors explore influences on Americans’ endorsement of free trade in general, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in particular. Work in the behavioral sciences suggests the value of using constructs that express the nature of persons’ orientation toward their own and other countries to explain their willingness to endorse these concepts. On this basis, the authors created a model that features paths of influence leading to the two Endorsement constructs. They subjected survey data from 240 respondents to structural equation analysis to test the model. The results, using total effects, show that Endorsement of free trade in general and NAFTA in particular are related negatively to Ethnocentrism, Nationalism, Prejudice, and Image of Mexicans, and positively related to Education. These findings hold implications for policymakers who seek to sway public opinion about international trade; they also suggest implications for further research into the subject.
