<p>This study aims to determine what factors influence regional economic growth. The analysis technique used is to combine time series data and cross-section (pooling data). Time-series data from 2015 - 2017 and cross section data consisting of 34 provinces in Indonesia. The results of the model test using the redundant fixed effect test and random effect-Hausman test show that the best model is the fixed effect model (FEM). Regression results show that only the HDI (Human Development Index) variable is not significant, the other variables (fiscal decentralization, capital, and labor) have a significant positive effect on regional economic growth.</p>

The teacher is a key element in the education system, especially in schools because of the teacher's role in transforming knowledge in education. Therefore, schools can improve teacher performance in order to achieve predetermined educational goals. This article will analyze the influence of psychological capital and person organization fit on teacher performance by mediating organizational commitment. This research uses quantitative analysis. The population in this study were 108 teachers of Junior High School in Bantarbolang District. Analysis of data techniques used regression analysis. The results of the research on model 1 show that psychological capital and person organization fit have a positive effect on organizational. In model 2, psychological capital and organizational commitment have a positive effect on teacher performance while organizational people do not. The results of the mediation test show that organizational influence does not mediate the effect of psychological capital on teacher performance, but organizational commitment mediates.

The objective of this study is to analyzes gold ownership in Indonesia related to the treatment of gold whether gold is used as a haven or diversifier investment. To determine gold as a haven or diversifier investment, the research method used is the general correlation method and cross correlation. The variables used in this study are gold price variables, investment interest rates, LQ 45, exchange rates and inflation, using data from 2018.1 to 2020.10. The results show that gold in Indonesia is more of a haven than a diversifier investment. Based on expectations of gold prices for the next year, it shows that the relationship between gold prices - interest rates and gold prices - exchange rates is a strong complementarity, while the relationship between gold prices and LQ45 is a very strong substitution or diversification.

Poverty is a global problem faced by a lot of countries, including Indonesia. In this research, the data used are 34 provinces in Indonesia from 2015-2018. The analysis technique used is data pooling that combines times series and cross section. The research result shows that the suitable model to analyze poverty is the fixed effect model. Variables that have a negative effect on poverty are Gross Regional Domestic Bruto per-capita, Sanitation, and net enrollment rate of senior high school, while Gini Ratio has a positive effect. Based on the analysis, there are 14 provinces that have higher poverty percentage than the average province poverty in Indonesia.

Rational Choice Approach of Young Motorcycle Drivers Behavior: The high frequency of motorcycle accidents cannot be separated from the driving behavior of motorists. Driving behavior is a rational choice in an effort to maximize benefits and minimize risks. The sample used in this study was young respondents aged 18-25 years, with status as students who use motorbikes as a means of daily transportation. By using Principal Component factor analysis, the study was able to identify motorcycle driving behavior in the main components, which were dominated by: Emotional Factors, Rider's Physical Ability, and Ability to Measure Distances. Through the same method, it is also possible to measure the risk of driving. Male riders have a higher risk than women, and automatic motorbike riders have a lower risk than non-matic motorbikes.Keywords: Rational Choice, Risk of Driving Behavior, Principal ComponentABSTRAKFrekuensi kecelakaan sepeda motor yang tinggi tidak terlepas dari perilaku berkendara pengendara motor. Perilaku berkendara adalah sebuah rational choice (pilihan rasional) sebagai upaya memaksimumkan kemanfaatan dan meminimalkan risiko. Sampel yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah responden usia muda 18 – 25 tahun, berstatus sebagai mahasiswa yang menggunakan motor sebagai alat transportasi keseharian. Dengan menggunakan analisis factor Principal Component, penelitian mampu mengidentifikasi perilaku berkendara sepeda motor dalam komponen utama, yang didominasi oleh: faktor Emosi, Kemampuan Fisik Pengendara, dan Kemampuan Mengukur Jarak. Melalui metode yang sama juga bisa dilakukan pengukuran risiko berkendara. Pengendara laki-laki memiliki risiko yang lebih tinggi daripada perempuan, dan pengendara sepeda motor jenis matic memiliki risiko yang lebih rendah daripada sepeda motor jenis non-matic.Kata Kunci: Rational Choice, Risiko Perilaku Berkendara, Principal Component
