Household debt has a detrimental effect on economic growth. Thus, this study examines the connection between household debt and growth in institutional quality. The impact of the relationship on economic growth is assessed using a bias-corrected least square dummy variable of 43 nations. We discovered that institutional quality enhances the role of household debt in sustaining economic growth. Household debt is significantly detrimental to growth when institutional quality is low. Its harmful effect can be lessened with medium institutional quality. Interestingly, higher household debt is beneficial in sustaining growth if accompanied by better institutional quality. Household debt and institutions reinforce each other towards sustaining economic stability for countries with higher institutional quality. The findings are expected to assist central banks and other government authorities in formulating the relevant institutional settings for ensuring economic sustainability, such as prudent debt management and macro-prudential policy. Future studies may consider empirical analysis on a distinct split sample of advanced and emerging economies and employ different estimator methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

As Muslims invest in Islamic indexes, they can take care of the earth at the same time.

The sample of this study is consumption companies registered with Indonesia Islamic Stock Index (ISSI) from 2016 to 2020. There are 90 observational data in this study. Using the multiple regression analysis techniques, this study confirms that there is a significant positive effect of the PROPER and ROE on stock returns. At the same time, the MAV has no significant positive effect on stock returns. Many other variables should be investigated further regarding their effect on stock return in consumer goods companies, such as NPM, ROA, and DER. Investors may consider index PROPER as the benchmark for investment in Islamic stock. There is a high potential return based on environmental performance. If the company's PROPER value is good, then there is also an indication of a high investment return. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Indonesia is called feasible as a halal tourism center because the majority of its population is Muslim. The concept of halal tourism is an actualization of the Islamic concept where halal and haram values become the main benchmark, this means that all aspects of tourism activities are inseparable from halal certification which must be a reference for every tourism actor (Chookaew et al., 2015). In tourist attractions SMEs can sell products as a distinctive Indonesian feature, but if coupled with the concept of halal tourism, the products sold by SMEs must certainly have halal certification. With the existence of halal certification, of course, it will guarantee that the products sold are suitable for foreign tourists who are very concerned about halal food or products. In addition there are also Muslim tourists from non-Muslim countries such as Singapore and France. Kemenparekraf noted that the number of Muslim tourist visits to Indonesia reached 1,270,437 people per year (Tourism, 2015). According to Perdani & Chasanah (2018), the construction of a halal guarantee system is very important because it is to safeguard products whose raw materials are not from Muslim countries. With halal certification, SME products obtain added value so that they will increase the competitiveness of Indonesian products in the international world. The purpose of this study is to find out what factors influence and which factors play the most powerful role in influencing efforts to improve the competitiveness of Small and Medium Enterprises in Eastern Indonesia. The research design used in this study is a qualitative method (by using a qualitative approach to case studies and data mining with the method of depth interview).

Informants as many as 12 SMEs and the Department of Industry and Trade as well as MUI in the local area in Eastern Indonesia (Bali and Lombok). In addition to completing the depth of the discussion and allowing more in-depth findings to be produced, literature studies have also been conducted on several similar research results. The results of this study found that there are several factors influencing efforts to improve the competitiveness of Eastern Indonesia Small and Medium Enterprises namely Availability & Conditions of Business Environment, Business Capability, Business Performance, Policy and Infrastructure, Research and Technology, and External Support. The dominant factor is that policy and infrastructure want to illustrate the extent to which the implementation of policies and infrastructure in locations around MSMEs operate can support or hinder businesses to operate.
