Inflation is one of problem in economy. Data BPS from January 2010 until December 2017, explained that average inflation in Indonesia showed a high trend at 5.24 percent. This paper uses Multiple Linear Regression Model. This paper tried to analyze the influence of human error inflation (corruption, money supply and the excess of tax rate) on inflation in Indonesia. The result showed that LNMoney Supply has significant positive effect on inflation rate at alpha 5%, ceteris paribus. Control of corruption has signifikan negative effect on inflation rate at alpha 1%, ceteris paribus. Then, LNtax has significant positive effect on inflation rate at alpha 1%, ceteris paribus. Therefore Islam and Al-Maqrizi prohibit the corruption practices and the use of interest rates as an instrument of government policy.

Efficiency and Productivity Rate of Zakah Institution in IndonesiaThis study aimed to measure the efficiency and productivity of five zakah institutions. Calculation of efficiency level in this study are relative, not absolute. This Study consists of two methods: Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), and Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI). There are 5 research objects, namely DD, BAZNAS, PKPU, YBM BRI and RZI with annual data 2005 to 2014. Furthermore, the lowest relative efficiencies level is DD (2010) amounted to 9.63%. In addition, approximately 80% of five OPZs increased the productivity. In the general, the main factor of inefficient of five zakat institutions from 2005 to 2014 was caused by distribution of zakah to ashnaf which still not optimal, then it cannot solve the poverty rate. Furthermore, it needs to increase collection and distribution of zakah fund amounted to 31.53% and 47.87%. Besides that it needs to decrease cost of socialization and operational cost amounted to 11.81% and 8.79%.DOI: 10.15408/ess.v7i1.3687

Over the last few years, Indonesian Islamic banking has experienced positive development, but there has been a dramatic dip in the growth of the assets and deposits of commercial Islamic banks. This indicates possible inefficiencies in these banks, and the sharp decline in the growth of their assets needs to be assessed in terms of efficiency and Islamic values, which are considered to be able to enhance performance. This research examines conventional and Islamic bank performance in terms of efficiency with data envelopment analysis (DEA) and the maqasid shariah index (MSI) with simple additive weighting (SAW) analysis, using data from fourteen commercial Islamic banks and four commercial conventional banks over the period 2007 to 2018. The results show that conventional banks were more efficient than Islamic ones, except in the financial crisis period, when the efficiency of Islamic banks was higher. In addition, the maqasid shariah index of conventional banks was lower than that of Islamic ones, although the index for Islamic banks was still very low. Furthermore, the study also found that the greater the level of total assets, the higher the maqasid shariah. Keywords: banking performance, commercial islamic banks, efficiency, maqasid shariah index

Objectives: This study aims to analyze: (i) the comparison of sukuk and bond absorption in deficit budget financing; and (ii) which variable that has significant effect on deficit budget (Y1= equation 1), on bond (Y2= equation 2) and on sukuk (Y3 = equation 3).Method: This study uses Two Stage Least Square (2SLS) method. The data used is from Bank of Indonesia, BPS, Ministry of Finance, IDX, ministry of trade, with monthly data, February 2009 – December 2015.Results: The result shows that sukuk has a significant negative effect on deficit budget while bond has a significant positive effect on deficit budget. In addition, import has a significant negative effect on deficit budget while exchange rate variable has a significant positive effect on deficit budget (the first equation). BI rate has significant negative effect on bond, while SBI and deficit budget has significant positive effect on bond (the second equation). Then, Inflation and bond has significant positive effect on sukuk, while deficit budget has significant negative effect on sukuk (the third equation).Conclusion: Both sukuk and bond have significant correlation in increasing each of them. Furthermore, both sukuk and bond have significant effect on deficit budget.

Objectives: Human Development Index (HDI) has multidimensional aspects of life. In fact, HDI measures only physical aspects that are needed by human such as education, health and wealth. Accordingly, discussing on human must cover material, physical and spiritual aspects. Maqāṣid is needed as a wasilah (medium) to promote the benefit of human (maslahat), which contains of daruriyyat, hajiyat and tahsiniyat. By then, this study aims to analyze maqāṣid based development variables of Umer Chapra perspective on economic growth in 9 selected OIC member countries.Method: The methodology of the study used mixed methods: qualitative and quantitative. The quantitative applies panel data regression analysis with 9 selected OIC countries (Indonesia, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mesir, Pakistan, Togo, Turkey and Uzbekistan) with time series from 2004 to 2013. For qualitative applies content analysis approach by using tafsir of Ibnu Katsir.Results: The finding shows that all independent variables, which are literacy rate, enrollment of school, poverty rate, gini index, life expectancy at birth, rule of law and voice accountability have significant effect on economic growth in 9 selected OIC member countries, both simultaneously and individually.Conclusion: This study concludes that HDI which is bounded by maqāṣid approach affects on increasing of economic growth in 9 of OIC member countries significantly.
