"This book focuses on the achievements, current trends and further potential of microfinance to scale-up and serve many more clients with financial services that enable them to improve their living conditions. The book asks what it takes to achieve sustainable impact : to know your clients and to understand their needs, to treat them in a fair and transparent way, and to safeguard the synthesis between the financial and social dimension of sustainable microfinance. The book also sheds light on the future funding landscape and what is necessary to bring more commercial funders on board while ensuring that these new funders will continue the commitment to responsible finance. While being forward looking, the book reflects the debate on core values of microfinance, triggered by recent criticisms of an approach that was hailed as a panacea in the beginning and which had proved over time as one of the most effective models of development finance. These criticisms emerged over signs of overheating in some markets, particularly the 2010 events in Andhra Pradesh, and turned into an assumption of a worldwide microfinance crisis, putting seriously at stake the good reputation microfinance had enjoyed so far."

"Inklusi keuangan merupakan salah satu cara untuk mencapai berbagai tujuan pada SDG. Salah satu fokus dari inklusi keuangan adalah menyediakan akses layanan keuangan yang berdampak ke berbagai sektor kehidupan, termasuk kesehatan. Sektor kesehatan di Indonesia masih menghadapi beberapa masalah. Masalah kesehatan tersebut memiliki dampak luas ke berbagai sektor, termasuk keuangan. Adanya layanan keuangan mikro berpotensi menjadi solusi untuk masalah ini. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh akses terhadap Lembaga Keuangan Mikro dengan kesehatan masyarakat di Indonesia dalan konteks Syariah (LKMS). Analisis terhadap akses dilakukan dengan menggunakan proxy variabel keberadaan LKMS. Keberadaan LKMS dapat menjelaskan akses dengan keterkaitan pada kemudahan dalam menggunakan layanan LKMS dan juga berkaitan dengan dampak sosial LKMS kepada masyarkat disekitarnya. Akses terhadap LKMS dianalisis keterkaitannya dengan kondisi kesehatan melalui mediating pendapatan dan aset dengan menggunakan metode structural equation modelling. Penelitian ini menggunakan data IFLS wave 5 dan data BMT digunakan sebagai konteks yang mewakili LKMS. Penelitian ini juga membandingkan sample BMT dan BRI untuk melihat perbedaan dampak keduanya. Hasil analisis menunjukan bahwa akses terhadap LKMS memiliki hubungan yang cenderung positif dengan kondisi kesehatan masyarakat.

Financial inclusion is one way to achieve various goals in the SDGs. One of the focus of financial inclusion is providing access to financial services that have an impact on various sectors of life, including health. The health sector in Indonesia still faces several problems. This health problem has a broad impact on various sectors, including finance. The existence of microfinance services has the potential to be a solution to this problem. This study aims to analyze the effect of access to microfinance institutions on public health in Indonesia in the context of Sharia (LKMS). The analysis of access was carried out using a proxy variable for the existence of LKMS. LKMS existence can explain access in relation to the ease of using LKMS services and is also related to the social impact of the LKMS to the surrounding community. Access to LKMS is analyzed in relation to health conditions through mediating income and assets using the structural equation modeling method. This study uses IFLS wave 5 data and BMT data is used as a representative context for LKMS. This study also compared samples of BMT and BRI to see the difference in their impact. The results of the analysis show that access to LKMS has a positive correlation towards health conditions."

"Penelitian ini menunjukkan determinan dari net interest margin (NIM) dan non interest income (NII) yang bertujuan untuk menganalisa hubungan antara NIM dan NII di Indonesia. Hanya sedikit penelitian dengan tujuan ini dan penelitian tersebut menghasilkan hasil yang berbeda untuk setiap sampel dan periode. Karena itu, penelitian ini dilakukan untuk fokus pada bank-bank di Indonesia. System GMM digunakan untuk mengontrol hubungan yang simultan pada NIM dan NII bank umum nasional devisa di Indonesia selama 2004-2011.Penelitian ini menemukan adanya beberapa determinan NIM dan NII yang tidak berpengaruh signifikan secara statistik di Indonesia. Hasil penelitian ini juga menunjukkan adanya hubungan yang negatif dan signifikan secara statistik antara NIM dan NII. Akan tetapi, risiko aktivitas tradisional yang tidak berpengaruh signifikan terhadap aktivitas non tradisional secara statistik memberikan kesimpulan yang berbeda dengan penelitian-penelitian sebelumnya yaitu bank meningkatkan aktivitas non tradisional bukan untuk menutupi penurunan dari pendapatan margin.

"Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perlakuan manajemen laba ketika perusahaan mengalami financial distress, perbedaan manajemen laba antara periode krisis dengan non krisis dan menganalisis perbedaan pengaruh financial distress terhadap manajemen laba antara periode krisis dan periode non krisis. Manajemen laba akrual diukur dengan menggunakan model Kothari et al. (2005) dan manajemen laba melalui aktivitas riil diukur dengan menggunakan model Roychowdhury (2006). Penelitian dilakukan pada 154 perusahaan manufaktur yang terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia tahun 2007-2010.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa financial distress hanya berpengaruh pada manajemen laba akrual dan produksi berlebihan dan tidak berpengaruh pada manipulasi penjualan dan pengurangan biaya-biaya diskresioner. Periode krisis hanya berpengaruh terhadap praktik manajemen laba riil melalui produksi abnormal dan tidak berpengaruh terhadap manajemen laba akrual dan kedua manajemen laba riil lainnya. Diduga pada saat periode krisis perusahaan tidak memiliki kemampuan untuk melakukan manajemen laba riil melalui produksi abnormal. Variabel krisis tidak tidak terbukti membuat hubungan financial distress dengan manajemen laba riil melalui produksi abnormal menjadi semakin negatif. Latar belakang dari motivasi tersebut yaitu membuat pasar yakin bahwa perusahaan masih tetap mampu bertahan melakukan aktivitas riil dalam kondisi politik-ekonomi yang sedang buruk sehingga akan meningkatkan respon yang baik dari pasar.

"ABSTRAKMasyarakat nelayan merupakan salahsatu kelompok masyarakat yang paling rentan akan kemiskinan. Beragam program pembangunan yang telah dilakukan pemerintah pada kelompok masyarakat ini ternyata masih banyak menemui kegagalan. Literatur dan penelitian sebelumnya melihat kegagalan ini karena adanya kesalahan eksternal yang menghambat mobilitas eksternal sebagai salahsatu faktor penghambat pembangunan, serta adanya faktor lain yang kini harus mulai diperhitungkan dalam melihat kesejahteraan masyarakat nelayan. Perspektif itu adalah modal sosial. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa karakteristik modal sosial nelayan memang terbilang tinggi, namun tingkat kesejahteraannya masih rendah. Ini membuat hubungan antara modal sosial dan kesejahteraan ternyata masih sangat rendah.

ABSTRACTFishermen community has become one of the most vulnerable communities towards poverty. Various policies and programs have been implemented, yet none seem to have work. Previous literature and research shows that this might have something to do with the external factors that stunted the community rsquo s vertical mobility, and some also shows that the absence of social capital as a key factor in the planning process of the policies, played quite a significant part. The result of this research, however, shows that fishermen communities indeed have a high level of social capital, yet their welfare level is low. Thus the correlation between the two is not significant, and in some cases, almost non existent."
