The purpose of this research is to establish whether or not there is a relationship between investment and consumption levels and economic growth. This study employs quantitative methods, and the data is processed in accordance with the requirements of the model being utilized. Multiple linear regression is the method used in the data processing. The information utilized is secondary information derived from historical documents or reports that have been published or are in the process of being published. The findings revealed that the investment variable had a positive and statistically significant impact on economic growth. Conclusions While the variable level of consumption has a positive and substantial impact on economic development, the level of consumption is not constant. According to the results of the regression, the value of R-Squared (R2) is 0.726. Thus, the independent variable can explain 85.2 percent of the variance in economic growth, with the remaining 0.15 percent explained by factors outside the model, as shown in Figure 1. It is proposed to the government that it raise the proportion of development expenditures, with the expectation that these expenditures would be used toward improving development and public infrastructure in order to promote the smooth operation of economic activities

Poverty is a problem faced by many developing countries in general. Poverty is a reflection of the economic activities carried out by a country. The poverty level of a country shows that the development programs implemented by the government are not optimal. This study was conducted to analyze the determinants of poverty in 10 provinces on the island of Sumatra from 2006-2019. Multiple regression equation models were built for this research using the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method with the e-views 8 tool. The results show that simultaneously, the independent variable has a significant effect on poverty and partially one variable that does not significantly affect poverty, namely unemployment. An increase in education (literacy rate) and infrastructure (road length) leads to an increase in poverty and inequality in income distribution (the Gini Index), resulting in a decrease in poverty. It is hoped that future researchers will use education, infrastructure, and income distribution variables with different proxies.

The failure of macro-economic policies to deliver meaningful reductions in poverty and achieve basic needs in Tanzania has provoked a deep questioning of the relevance of economic growth center policies in Local Economic Development (LED). The government and development partners are increasingly shifting from the traditional top down approaches to the all-inclusive bottom up approaches for effective local development. The concept of sustainable Local Economic Development is thus examined in the context of economic activities and challenges using a case study of Shinyanga region in Tanzania.

Even as the U.S. economy hums along, problems loom in the future. Government debt is growing along an unsustainable path, potentially mortgaging the country’s economic future. At the same time, after several decades of stagnating wages and living standards for much of the population, the nation faces increasing needs to invest in education and healthcare, and to bolster public infrastructure and research. How can the United States meet both today’s needs and tomorrow’s obligations? This book offers solutions resting on five guideposts. First, facts and evidence should play a key role in policy analysis and choices . Second, public policy should reflect our values as a people, including freedom, fairness, opportunity, and individual and social responsibility—toward one another, between rich and poor, and from generation to generation. Third, both the private sector and the government can—and must—be part of the solution to our problems. Fourth, taxes and spending are inextricably linked, and policymakers should consider them together. Fifth, we should focus on realistic solutions. The proposals offered here have three core themes: control entitlement spending; invest in the future; and raise and reform taxes. Taken together, the proposals would restore fiscal balance, boost economic growth, reduce economic inequality, improve economic mobility, and raise living standards for future generations.

Economic diversification is fundamental in driving economic growth in rural areas. Encouragement of and stimulus for the economic diversification in the rural areas allow for the generation of opportunities and new economic chains. Apart from that it will assist in the diversification of the sources of income for the rural population. In Malaysia, apart from emphasising on development policies, economic diversification began to take place in rural areas through positive developments in the economic sectors other than rural agriculture such as tourism as well as small and medium industries. The importance of leveraging on the opportunities and available space has created a need to examine the pattern and defining factors of economic diversity that is taking place in rural areas. The discussion in this article pays attention to the diversification of the economy that is taking place in the rural areas in Sabah by selecting the village of Tambatuon as a study area. In addition to the secondary data, the data is also obtained through observations, involvement in the newly created economic activities and interviews with the village heads and members of the Village Community Management Council (MPKK). The results of the study confirm that economic diversification in rural areas is in place. Most of the new economic activities exist based on the initiative of the villagers who receive support from the Government and non-governmental organisations. Nevertheless, the study also shows that the ongoing economic diversification process is still limited to the horizontal level. Hence, there is considerable potential for economic diversification that can be further expanded to enhance the competitiveness of the rural population in general. In this context, rural residents should be creative by using available local resources from the surroundings to broaden the process of economic diversification. Assistance and external support, especially from the Government, is significant in providing an environment that can stimulate economic growth to ensure that the process of diversifying the economy continues to flourish and becomes sustainable.

The management of the Keuliling Reservoir area as a tourist attraction is still lacking the attention of the government so that it affects the decline in the quality of reservoir facilities and infrastructures such as parking areas, mushallas, bathrooms, gazebos, view towers, and children's pools. This study aims to model the factors of ecotourism development in reservoir areas against local economic growth, and to find ecotourism development strategies in reservoir areas. This research uses qualitative methods through observation and interviews, and quantitative methods through distributing questionnaires. Respondents in this study aimed at residents of Bak Sukon Village, with a total sample of 87 people. The statistical method used is descriptive analysis and multiple linear regression analysis using statistical software. The formulation of an ecotourism development strategy is carried out through a Focus Group Discussion (FGD), which consists of ten academics, community leaders, the private sector, and the community. The results showed that the model of ecotourism development factors in the Keuliling Reservoir area that influenced local economic growth in Bak Sukon Village were explanatory factors, improved facilities, ecotourism attractions, ecotourism access, ecotourism facilities, and service factors, with a regression model Y = 0.187X1 + 0,223X2 + 0,303X3 + 0,310X4 + 0,182X5 + 0,173X6. The strategy for developing ecotourism in the Keuliling Reservoir area is zoning, making local government policies, establishing an ecotourism management body, implementing ecotourism development, engaging community participation, and evaluating ecotourism area management activities.
