The Impact of Economics, Unemployment, and Minimum Wages on Poverty in Rembang
Poverty remains a complex development challenge in many regions in Indonesia, including Rembang Regency. This study aims to analyze the influence of economic growth, the open unemployment rate (TPT), and the minimum wage on the poverty rate in Rembang Regency during the 2011–2020 period. Using secondary data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), this study applies a multiple linear regression method supported by classical assumption tests and statistical tests (t-test and F-test) using Eviews 10 software. The analysis results indicate that economic growth and the open unemployment rate do not significantly influence the poverty rate. On the other hand, the minimum wage is proven to have a negative and significant effect, indicating that minimum wage increases contribute to poverty reduction. These findings highlight the importance of equitable wage policies as a strategic instrument in poverty alleviation, while also suggesting that economic growth alone is not inclusive enough to reach the most vulnerable groups. The implications of this research can be used as considerations for local governments in designing more targeted and effective policy interventions.

The analysis results show that the intensity of REM has a significant negative effect on firm performance as measured by Return on Assets (ROA) and on firm value as proxied by Tobin's Q in the following year. These findings indicate that REM practices not only harm long-term profitability but also erode firm value. This study strengthens empirical evidence regarding the negative consequences of REM and provides implications for management and regulators in order to improve the quality of financial reporting and protect stakeholder interests.

How Inflation, Interest Rates, and Turnover Ratios Affect Stock Prices in the Pharmaceutical Sector
This study aims to analyze the influence of macroeconomic variables (inflation and the BI Rate) and company financial performance variables (working capital turnover and inventory turnover) on the stock prices of pharmaceutical companies on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). The study used secondary data from nine pharmaceutical companies for the period 2017-2020 (a total of 36 observations). Data analysis was performed using multiple linear regression (panel data) using SPSS 25, preceded by classical assumption tests (normality, multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity, autocorrelation). Hypothesis testing used the F test (simultaneous) and t test (partial). The results showed that all four variables simultaneously had a significant effect on stock prices. Partially, only inflation (negative and significant effect) and working capital turnover (positive and significant effect) were proven to affect stock prices. Interest rates and inventory turnover did not have a significant effect partially. The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.416 indicates that the independent variables explain 41.6% of the variation in stock prices. Pharmaceutical company management needs to optimize working capital turnover efficiency and anticipate the impact of inflation. Investors can consider these two variables in fundamental analysis. Further research is recommended to add other variables and extend the study period.

The issue of affordable housing has become a global challenge with far-reaching economic, social, and environmental implications. Despite efforts by both the public and private sectors, the impact has not been significant in addressing the housing crisis that is occurring in various parts of the world. In response, public-private partnerships (PPPs) are increasingly being promoted as a strategic solution. This study aims to evaluate the key factors that influence the effectiveness of PPPs in providing affordable housing, while analyzing the limitations of the “universal solution” approach in diverse contexts. The findings show that while financing practices, land regulations, and community income levels play an important role, the success of PPPs also depends heavily on appropriate risk allocation, socio-political stability, and regulatory quality standards. Thus, while PPPs offer potential solutions, their implementation must be tailored to the specific conditions of each region to ensure optimal outcomes.
