Authors: Isfianadewi Dessy , Hasanah Lak lak Nazhat El , Priyadi Unggul 
Published: December 2024

Objective: This study aims to assess the efficiency of privileged fund allocations in the Special Region of Yogyakarta and evaluate their contribution to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), focusing on indicators such as poverty alleviation, economic growth, and social equity.

Theoretical Framework: The research explores public financial management (PFM) aligned with SDG targets, emphasizing asymmetric decentralization and PFM efficiency. This model grants regions like Yogyakarta fiscal and administrative autonomy to tailor local policies and manage privileged funds effectively, fostering regional economic growth.

Method: The study employs a quantitative approach, analyzing secondary data on fund allocation efficiency from 2017 to 2020 using Data Envelope Analysis (DEA). This method compares the relationship between inputs—regional income, balancing funds, legitimate income, and privileged funds—and outputs such as economic growth, poverty reduction, the Human Development Index (HDI), and the Gini index (income equality).

Results and Discussion: Findings reveal that Yogyakarta's fund management from 2017 to 2020 achieved an annual DEA score of 1.00, indicating optimal use of resources for improving quality-of-life measures. It confirms that strategic PFM supports SDG-related outcomes, particularly reducing poverty, enhancing HDI, and minimizing income disparity. The results underscore the role of asymmetric decentralization in enabling tailored fiscal strategies that meet unique socio-economic demands.

Research Implications: This approach can serve as a reference for other regions with similar decentralized governance systems, aiding in transparent, targeted budgeting that supports sustainable and inclusive regional development.

Originality/Value: This study provides a valuable model for evaluating fund allocation efficiency, presenting a practical tool for policymakers to prioritize impactful resource distribution. The insights can guide similar regions with decentralized governance, promoting transparent, effective budgeting for sustainable development.

Published: December 2024

Foreign Direct Investment inflow plays a crucial role in fostering and maintaining economic growth in both the recipient country and the investor or the country investing. The significance of tax incentives in attracting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has been hotly debated, especially in least-developed and developing countries looking to boost economic growth. Tax incentives, such as corporate tax expenditures, tax holidays, and exemptions, are frequently utilised to boost a country's investment climate. However, the effectiveness of these incentives varies according to factors including political stability, regulatory measures, and overall economic conditions. The study's main objective was to assess the impact of tax incentives on foreign direct investment inflow in Kenya from 2002-2021. The Q-Theory of Investment and tax competition theory guided the study. Descriptive, correlation, and causal research designs were used for the study employing time series data. The data for the trend in FDI inflow was derived from World Investment Reports, World Bank, and IMF. The results showed that tax incentives (t=4.811738, p<0.05) and government recurrent expenditure (t=2.402518, p<0.05) had a positive significant effect on FDI Inflow while government external debt (t=-3154145, p<0.05) had a negative effect on FDI inflow in Kenya. To enhance the inflow of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), the research suggested that policymakers should strategically optimize tax incentives, including Corporate Income Tax (CIT).

Introducción: El artículo presenta y analiza una estrategia de formación docente realizada en el Instituto Universitario Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires (IUHIBA). El dispositivo es una respuesta frente a un escenario desafiante con el cual docentes y responsables de programas educativos nos encontramos actualmente: estudiantes de carreras de grado con escasa participación en las actividades ofrecidas por la universidad y residentes que entre sus demandas de mejores condiciones de formación y laborales reclaman menos horas en el hospital, mejores tratos de parte de quienes los supervisan, o muestran menor disposición a tomar responsabilidades adicionales. Asimismo, se multiplican las consultas a los equipos de apoyo por dificultades en la concentración, cansancio, desánimo, autoexigencia y falta de confianza en las propias capacidades. Estas escenas nos interrogan e interpelan en nuestro rol como educadores/as y nos invitan a indagar sobre el universo de las juventudes de hoy para acercar nuestras intervenciones a sus motivaciones y expectativas.
Desarrollo: En este marco se llevaron adelante unas jornadas que tuvieron como objetivo compartir preguntas, plantear debates y pensar posibles acciones que den respuesta a las actuales demandas de quienes se encuentran en formación en nuestra institución.
Resultados: En este artículo compartiremos el dispositivo diseñado y los resultados de su implementación. Se propuso un trayecto que partió desde una mirada individual para ir transitando hacia construcciones conjuntas, fundamentadas y situadas en nuestra propia institución.
Conclusiones: El trabajo realizado fue un primer paso en la identificación y comprensión de las decisiones y expectativas de las juventudes para poder acompañarlas en sus trayectos formativos de un modo valioso, pertinente y acorde al actual contexto socio-histórico.

ABSTRACT
Speakers’ autonomy as arguers is impaired when they are not recognized as arguers, they can’t get their arguments heard, and their arguments are ignored, dismissed, or used against them. How do speakers cultivate conditions to secure their autonomy as arguers? This article submits that they marshal normative pragmatic force or the practical efficacy of normative materials. To support this claim, this article explains what speakers’ autonomy as arguers comprises. The article then describes three legitimate sources of force in arguing and characteristic approaches to addressing conditions that interfere with legitimate sources of force. Finally, this article explains how arguers marshal normative pragmatic force to cultivate conditions to secure autonomy for all.
Can Rational Persuasion Be Epistemically Paternalistic?
Authors: Bondy Patrick 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT
This article addresses two related questions about belief, inquiry, and persuasion. The first is a question about the nature of epistemic paternalism, which is, roughly, the activity of interfering in other people’s inquiry, for their own epistemic benefit. The second question is about rational persuasion, and whether it can ever be paternalistic, or (better) whether it can be disrespectful and prima facie wrong in the same way that at least some cases of paternalism are disrespectful and prima facie wrong. The article argues that if rational persuasion is paternalistic, it is epistemically paternalistic. It then considers how best to characterize epistemic paternalism and answers a challenge to its justifiability. Finally, the article responds to George Tsai’s view that rational persuasion can be problematically paternalistic, arguing that Tsai’s central case falls short of the ideal of rational persuasion.
