Investment Decisions through Total Asset Growth toward Price to Book Value on the Jakarta Islamic Index

This research analyzes the effect of investment decisions through Total Asset Growth (TAG) on Price to Book Value (PBV). Since PVB indicates stock measurement based on the ratio of stock price to book value, it is used by investors to assess the price offered. This research uses time-series data from 2014-2020 to examine seven companies selected using purposive sampling but based on fairly good asset developments from 2014 to 2020. Furthermore, this quantitative causal study data were collected using documentation from various sources and analyzed using a simple linear regression test. The results show that the TAG variable has no effect on PBV with a significance value of 0.89 0.05. This shows that TAG does not describe a stable company and is not always useful in investment decision-making.

This study aims to analyze the influence and response of the Jakarta Islamic Index (JII) volatility to changes in macroeconomic variables. VECM was used to examine the long-and short-term effects, while IRF was used to analyze the JII response.

Financial data of 11 Islamic Banks in Indonesia was obtained from 2010-2019. Purposive sampling method is employed to determine the obtained-sample with the availability of financial statements as criteria.

Based on the research model used, this study found that only the CAR and size variables were able to significantly increase the efficiency of Islamic banks. Likewise, macroeconomic variables have not been able to have any impact on the level of efficiency. Policy recommendations are also provided in the end of the discussion chapter.

Spin-off Policy on Islamic Insurance Industry Development in Indonesia: Maslahah Perspective

This study is a literature review supported by data and analysis with sources in the form of books, articles, websites and documents.

The spin-off policy normatively and substantially can encourage the growth of Islamic insurance in the country and in accordance with the community expectations in actualizing benefits in order to protect religion, life, descent, reason and property. The sharia insurance spin-off process in Indonesia has not run as expected. To support the acceleration of spin-off policy realization, it must be supported by strengthening regulations and human resources, product innovation, literacy, and expanding access. The implication ofthis study is that there is still a need to strengthen regulations and human resources so that the sharia insurance spin-off policy program can be realized.

Determinants of Sustainability Reporting of Islamic Banks in Emerging Countries

This study aims to determine the effect of Islamic corporate governance and slack resources on sustainability reporting of Islamic Commercial Banks in Indonesia and Malaysia from 2015-2018. The corporate governance in this study consists of sharia supervisory board, the size, board of directors meeting, and audit committee.

The reporting proxy was measured by the content analysis method which consisted of 78 items from the six dimensions adopted disclosure of AAOIFI. Furthermore, the analysis technique used was panel data regression with Random Effect Model (REM) as the estimation model. The results showed that the sharia supervisory board has a negative effect on sustainability reporting, while the board size, audit committee, and slack resources have a positive effect. Meanwhile, the board of directors' meeting has no effect on sustainability reporting. Therefore, the related government agencies such as Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (Financial Service Authority/FSA) and Bank Negara Malaysia are able to consider that the regulation related to the composition of sharia supervisory board for banking is in line with international ideal standards.
