Judul: Analysis of Competitiveness, Potential,  and Factors Affecting Indonesian Whole Pepper Exports to Main Destination  Countries
Abstrak: Salah satu komoditas unggulan ekspor perkebunan yang menjadi sumber pendapatan negara yang bernilai tinggi adalah lada utuh. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis daya saing dan pasar potensial untuk ekspor lada utuh yang bisa dikembangkan, serta mengetahui faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi ekspor komoditas lada utuh. Periode yang digunakan pada penelitian ini yaitu 2010-2020 dengan menggunakan metode RCA, EPD, X-Model, dan regresi data panel. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa lada utuh memiliki keunggulan komparatif yang kuat di seluruh negara tujuan ekspor yang diteliti, sementara pangsa pasar lada utuh Indonesia sebagian besar menempati posisi falling star dengan pengembangan pasar potensial. Hasil analisis dengan regresi data panel menunjukkan bahwa PDB per kapita negara tujuan, harga ekspor, nilai tukar riil, jarak ekonomi, dummy Covid-19, dan dummy kebijakan TBT berpengaruh signfikan terhadap volume ekspor lada utuh Indonesia sedangkan variabel dummy kebijakan SPS tidak berpengaruh signfikan terhadap ekspor lada utuh Indonesia ke negara tujuan utama., One of the leading export commodities of plantations which is a source of high-value state income is whole pepper. This study aims to analyze the competitiveness and potential market for whole pepper exports that can be developed, as well as to determine the factors that affect the export of whole pepper commodities. The period used in this study is 2010-2020 using the RCA, EPD, X-Model, and panel data regression methods. The results showed that whole pepper has a strong comparative advantage in all export destination countries studied, while the market share of Indonesian whole pepper mostly occupies a falling star position with potential market development. The results of the analysis with panel data regression showed that the GDP per capita of the destination country, export prices, real exchange rates, economic distance, the Covid-19 dummy, and the TBT policy dummy had a significant effect on the volume of Indonesian whole pepper exports, while the SPS policy dummy variable had no significant effect on Indonesian whole pepper exports to main destination countries.

Judul: Analysis Factors Affecting of the Competitiveness Indonesian Black Pepper in the International Market
Abstrak: Indonesia menjadi salah satu produsen dan pengekspor lada dunia. Hampir sebagian besar lada Indonesia diperuntukan untuk kebutuhan ekspor khususnya lada hitam. Namun, kontribusi lada hitam Indonesia di pasar dunia semakin menurun sehingga Indonesia tidak lagi menjadi eksportir nomor satu di dunia. Kekuatan daya saing terhadap suatu komoditas membuat suatu negara dapat melakukan ekspor komoditas ungggulannya. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis daya saing dan faktor-faktor yag memengaruhi daya saing lada hitam Indonesia di pasar internasional. Periode analisis yang digunakan pada penelitian ini yaitu dari tahun 2012 hingga 2019 dengan menggunakan metode Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) dan Korelasi Pearson. Dimana untuk menganalisis korelasi antara daya saing yang dihasilkan dari nilai RCA dengan beberapa faktor – faktor yang diduga memengaruhi daya saing lada hitam Indonesia di pasar internasional, yaitu volume ekspor lada hitam Indonesia (X1), harga internasional lada hitam Indonesia (X2), nilai tukar rupiah terhadap dolar (X3), serta inflasi tahunan Indonesia (X4). Hasil perhitungan RCA menujukan bahwa lada hitam Indonesia memiliki daya saing yang kuat di pasar internasional dengan rata-rata nilai RCA sebesar 7,54 serta hasil analisis korelasi Pearson menunjukan bahwa faktor volume ekspor lada hitam Indonesia dan harga internasional lada hitam Indonesia memiliki korelasi signifikan dengan daya saing lada hitam Indonesia di pasar internasional, sedangkan faktor nilai tukar dan inflasi tidak terdapat korelasi yang signifikan dengan daya saing lada hitam Indonesia di pasar Internasional., Indonesia is one of the pepper producer and exporter in the world. Most of Indonesia’s pepper is intended for export, especially black pepper. However, the contribution of Indonesian black pepper to the world market is decreasing so that Indonesia is no longer the number one exporter in the world. The strength of the competitiveness of a commodity allows a country to export its superior commodity. The purpose of this study is to analyze the competitiveness and the factors that influence the competitiveness of Indonesian black pepper in the international market. The periode of analysis used in this study from 2012 to 2019 and using the method of Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) and Pearson Correlation. Where to analyze the correlation between competitiveness resulting from the RCA value with several factors that are thought to affect the competitiveness of Indonesian black pepper in the international market, namely the export volume of Indonesian black pepper (X1), international price of Indonesian black pepper (X2), exchange rate rupiah against the dollar (X3), and Indonesia's annual inflation (X4). The results of the RCA calculation show that Indonesian black pepper has strong competitiveness in the international market with an average RCA value of 7.54 and the results of the Pearson Correlation analysis show that the export volume factor of Indonesian black pepper and the international price of Indonesian black pepper have a significant correlation with the competitiveness of Indonesian black pepper. the competitiveness of Indonesian black pepper in the international market, while the exchange rate and inflation factors have no significant correlation with the competitiveness of Indonesian black pepper in the international market.

Abstrak: Semiconductor Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin film that can be used as absorber layers on solar cell module was made via electrodeposition method. CZTS thin film was electrodeposited on the surface of a silicate glass coated with a thin layer of indium tin oxide (ITO). Deposition process was done using potentiostatic mode at room temperature with a potential of 1.05 V for 30, 45, and 60 minutes, followed with annealing the film at 2 different temperatures, 500 ºC using furnace and 180 ºC using hot plate, both treatments for 45 minutes in N2/H2S atmosphere. The X-ray difractograms were analyzed using Match 2 program and showed that the CZTS thin films had kesterit crystalline structure, with a low percentage of CZTS phase. The thin film also contained secondary phases such as Cu2S, ZnS, and SnS. The obtained CZTS thin films had a thickness between 1.039 and 1.676 μm. Absorption study showed that the band gap energy of CZTS thin films which was annealed using furnace ranged from 1.50 to 1.52 eV, whereas that annealed using the hot plate was not observed. The band gap energy value showed that CZTS thin films can be used as sunlight absorber layers on solar cell. The formation of CZTS crystal film on this investigation was effectively performed using furnace annealing process at a temperature of 500 ºC with deposition time of 45 minutes.
