Melawati, Tri Gunarsih — Thu, 30 Nov 2023 00:00:00 +0700

This study aims to analyze the effect of Bitcoin price spillover volatility on Altcoin prices (Ethereum, Tether, Binance Coin) and the price of the S&P 500 Index. The data used is weekly data with a research period from January 2018 to December 2022. The analysis used in this study is the Exponential Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity (EGARCH) model. The results show a volatility spillover effect between Bitcoin and Binance Coin with more positive shocks than adverse shocks in Bitcoin price volatility on Binance Coin price. Meanwhile, the spillover volatility between Bitcoin and Ethereum, Tether, and the S&P 500 Index cannot be known because the price data is homoscedastic, so it cannot be continued with EGARCH modelling because the data needs to meet the modelling requirements.

Does Does Inflation and The Number of Taxpayers Affect Income Tax?

Zidni Husnia Fachrunnisa, Rifna Ninda Luthfi — Thu, 30 Nov 2023 00:00:00 +0700

Income tax is the largest state revenue, and the COVID-19 pandemic impacted decreasing income tax in 2020. This study examines factors from outside the policy of the Directorate General of Taxes, such as inflation and factors from inside the Directorate General of Taxes, namely the number of taxpayers affecting income tax. This study uses secondary data from monthly realization data and income tax art. 25 targets during 2017-2020 at the Yogyakarta Tax Office (KPP Pratama Yogyakarta). The sample retrieval technique in this study uses a saturated sample method. Sample this study of 48 data. The data analysis technique used is multiple linear regression analysis. The results show that inflation does not affect income tax, while the number of taxpayers has a negative effect on income tax. From the results of this study, the greater the number of registered taxpayers, the lower the income tax revenue. Indonesia uses an internal self-assessment system to calculate taxes, and the taxes paid depend on a financial report sent to the tax office. So, corporate taxpayer compliance greatly determines the amount of income tax. This result implies that the government can optimise corporate taxpayer compliance through the Ministry of Finance or the general directorate of taxes. This study only uses income tax art. 25 deposited by corporate taxpayers.

Triyono Budiwibowo, Erna Fitri Komariyah — Thu, 30 Nov 2023 00:00:00 +0700

This study provides evidence that achieving performance at high targets in infrastructure development requires an OCE and organizational culture. This study is driven by the high target for infrastructure development in Indonesia from 2015 to 2020 as a strategic policy to help support economic growth and fair distribution of social welfare. Multigroup Analysis assesses the moderating effects of the high target in infrastructure development and organizational culture. This result suggests that OCE has a positive impact on motivation, which subsequently has a significant impact on performance. Moreover, motivation has been shown to moderate the relationship between high targets and OCE. On the other hand, this finding shows that achieving high infrastructure development targets requires a strong organizational culture that will impact performance positively and significantly through increased motivation.

Elite Capture Syndrome and Anti-Corruption Control in Nigeria: The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and The Independent Corrupt Practices Commission in Perspective

Thu, 30 Nov 2023 05:22:36 +0700

Like many African states, Nigeria has hitherto been caught in the web of pervasive acts of grand and petty corruption. The pervasive nature of political and bureaucratic corruption in Nigeria has undeniably impoverished her economy and, as such, warranted the establishment of the EFCC and ICPC. However, anti-corruption agencies have not been able to control corruption to a minimum, as Nigeria remains poorly ranked in the global corruption index. This research takes on a critical and comparative lens to understand the nature of class politics in the fight against corruption, to examine the level of high-profile prosecutions, to identify irregularities in the institutions of law enforcement, and to consider the level of transparency and accountability for recovered loot and confiscated properties. The study finds, among other things, that powerful elites have high-jacked anti-corruption fights of the EFCC and ICPC, with low-profile convictions in Nigeria, and public accountability and transparency regarding recovered loot is almost nonexistent. The Elite Capture paradigm is employed as a theoretical guide in its narrative.
