ASEAN member states have proactively taken steps to address climate change issues at the national, regional and global levels. However, the rapid growth of the global economy and human activities on climate is increasing and has become a cause of environmental damage. This study aims to examine the effect of economic growth (GDP), foreign investment (FDI), population and energy consumption on CO2 emissions and examine the determinants of dynamic interaction of long- and short-term relationships using fixed effects panel data models and vector error correction models (VECM) for five ASEAN countries namely Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam using panel data with a time span of 1997 to 2020. The results of the fixed effects panel model test confirmed that economic growth, foreign investment and energy consumption affect CO2 emissions while population has no effect on CO2 emissions. In simultaneous testing, economic growth, foreign investment, population and energy consumption variables jointly affect CO2 in ASEAN countries. In addition, the VECM test results confirm that economic growth, foreign investment and energy consumption affect the CO2 of ASEAN countries in the long run, while population has no effect on CO2 of ASEAN countries in the long run. Other findings confirmed the existence of homogeneous causality relationship of GDP and FDI to CO2 and vice versa CO2 has homogeneous causality relationship to GDP and FDI. Population and Consumption have heterogeneous causality relationship to CO2. These variables are different in different situations and in different countries. The above results are expected that stakeholders can formulate appropriate policies.

Irma Irma — 2025-02-16

This study investigates the impact of rights issues on the financial performance of banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2019 to 2023. Using a comparative analysis of key financial ratios—Current Ratio (CR), Debt-to-Equity Ratio (DER), Return on Assets (ROA), Net Profit Margin (NPM), and Price-to-Earnings Ratio (PER)—the research aims to determine whether significant differences exist before and after rights issues. The findings reveal that rights issues significantly improve liquidity (CR) and market valuation (PER) while reducing reliance on debt (DER). However, profitability ratios (ROA and NPM) decline, indicating inefficiencies in asset utilization and operational performance. The results align with the Signaling Theory and Pecking Order Theory, suggesting that rights issues send positive market signals but require better capital management to enhance profitability. This study contributes to the literature by providing sector-specific insights into the banking industry in an emerging market context, offering valuable implications for management and investors.

Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa rights issue secara signifikan meningkatkan likuiditas (CR) dan valuasi pasar (PER) serta mengurangi ketergantungan pada utang (DER). Namun, rasio profitabilitas (ROA dan NPM) mengalami penurunan, mengindikasikan inefisiensi dalam pemanfaatan aset dan kinerja operasional. Temuan ini sejalan dengan Signaling Theory dan Pecking Order Theory, yang menyatakan bahwa rights issue memberikan sinyal positif kepada pasar namun memerlukan manajemen modal yang lebih efektif untuk meningkatkan profitabilitas.
