ANALISIS PERBANDINGAN JUMLAH PENDUDUK KABUPATEN/KOTA PROVINSI SUMATERA UTARA TERHADAP KETIMPANGAN PEMBANGUNAN EKONOMI DAERAH TAHUN 2024
The primary objective of this research is to analyze the differences in population size among districts and cities in North Sumatra Province and examine how these variations contribute to regional economic development inequality in 2024. The main problem addressed in this study is the extent to which population distribution influences disparities in regional per capita income, which ultimately reflects spatial inequality across the province. This study employs a descriptive quantitative approach using secondary data obtained from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS). The data include population figures and Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) per capita for 33 districts and cities. The analysis utilizes the Williamson Index to measure the level of inequality by comparing each region’s per capita income with the provincial average. The findings reveal that most districts and cities in North Sumatra fall within the low inequality category, with Williamson Index values ranging from 0.004 to 0.20. This indicates that income variations across the province are generally small. However, Medan City stands out with a Williamson Index value of 0.50, placing it in the medium inequality category due to its significantly higher per capita income. Meanwhile, regions such as Langkat, Pematang Siantar, Tanjung Balai, and Binjai show very low levels of inequality, demonstrating strong income distribution uniformity. In conclusion, economic inequality in North Sumatra is predominantly low, with Medan City being the primary contributor to regional disparities. These results highlight the importance of strengthening equitable development policies and optimizing the role of major growth centers to support surrounding areas.

ASYMMETRIC RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REMITTANCES AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA
The paper explored the asymmetric or nonlinear effects between remittances and sustainable development in Sub-Saharan Africa. The study used panel data from 30 selected Sub-Saharan African countries for the period spanning 2000 to 2022, which were obtained from the World Development Indicators (WDI) 2022 Database and the Sustainable Development Report 2023 Database. Panel Nonlinear Autoregressive Distributed Lag (PNARDL) methodology was employed for empirical analysis. The empirical results from panel NARDL approach on the asymmetric effects between remittances and sustainable development showed an asymmetric effect with a negative significant relationship between positive remittance shock and sustainable development ( ), while a positive significant link was established between negative remittance shock and sustainable development in the selected SSA countries ( ). Alternative estimations using adjusted net savings (ANS) as alternative proxy and measure of sustainable development besides the sustainable development goals index (SDGI) and the results were robust. The study demonstrated that there exists an asymmetric relationship between remittances and sustainable development in Sub-Saharan Africa. These findings imply that higher inflows of remittances may not necessarily spur sustainable development in the selected SSA countries, as the relationship is nonlinear. The study recommended that governments and policy makers in the subcontinent need to create mechanisms to fully harness remittance inflows so that substantial buffers can be built in periods of economic downturn to cater for shortfalls that may occur in periods of economic boom based on the countercyclicality nature of remittances.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TO ADDRESS ECONOMIC CHALLENGES AND DEVELOPMENT: A CASE STUDY AND ANALYTICAL FRAMEWORK FOR IRAQ
In the initial stages, the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in addressing Iraq’s economic challenges appeared promising, with potential solutions proposed for issues such as unemployment and inflation. However, despite the theoretical strength of AI-driven models, Iraq’s complex economic structure marked by severe corruption, an overreliance on oil, and a fragile institutional environment posed significant obstacles to realworld implementation. This study examines why AI applications in Iraq’s economic development initially seemed like a comprehensive solution but encountered substantial difficulties when addressing inflation and unemployment concurrently. The integration of AI into Iraq’s economic planning revealed that technological tools alone cannot overcome deeply entrenched systemic challenges without robust human oversight and institutional reforms. Despite these limitations, AI contributed to important advances in economic modeling and policy analysis, providing valuable insights into sustainable development strategies. The study concludes that while AI holds promise for supporting economic policy design and evaluation, the ultimate responsibility for effective implementation and reform remains with human decision-makers.
ASYMMETRY OF PRIVATE EXPENDITURE ON HEALTHCARE ON LIFE EXPECTANCY IN USA
In this paper, author examined the short run and long run nonlinear relation between private health expenditure and life expectancy in USA during 1960-2023 and tested asymmetric impacts by applying NARDL model taking data from the World Bank and from NBER. It found that there are both short and long asymmetries. The positive changes from cumulative dynamic multiplier of private expenditure on life expectancy have positive impact and negative changes have negative impact which are significant. The positive response and negative response converged to long run limits where the former is upward and the latter is downward. The asymmetry is upward moving and became stationary above the equilibrium level within the limits of confidence interval.

THE IMPACT OF INFLATION ON THE BUSINESS CYCLE AND ECONOMIC GROWTH: AN EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS
This paper investigates the complex relationship between inflation, business cycles, and economic growth, focusing on both theoretical and empirical perspectives. The primary aim is to understand how inflation impacts key economic variables such as investment, consumption, employment, and productivity and to identify effective policy responses. Specifically, the study’s objectives are to examine the mechanisms through which inflation affects the business cycle, quantify its impact on long-term economic growth, and evaluate policy strategies for managing inflation’s adverse effects. Methodologically, we employ panel data analysis using econometric models across a sample of countries from 1990 to 2021. This approach allows for cross-country comparisons and controls for country-specific factors, providing robust estimates of inflation’s impact on GDP growth, unemployment, and investment. The findings indicate a statistically significant negative relationship between high inflation and GDP growth, especially when inflation rates exceed 10%. Additionally, inflation is shown to reduce investment levels and increase unemployment, aligning with Phillips curve implications in the short term and supporting inflation neutrality in the long run as expectations adjust. Theoretically, this study contributes to existing literature by confirming the threshold effect of inflation on growth, where moderate inflation may coexist with growth but high inflation disrupts economic stability. Methodologically, the use of panel regression models highlights the efficacy of country level fixed effects in capturing inflation’s diverse impacts across different economic contexts. Practically, the research underscores the importance of inflation-targeting frameworks, counter cyclical fiscal policies, and structural reforms to enhance resilience and support sustained economic growth. These insights offer valuable guidance for policymakers seeking to balance inflation control with economic stability.

FAKTOR PENENTU KETIMPANGAN PENDAPATAN DI KABUPATEN KOTA SUMATERA BARAT
Income inequality is the difference in income generated by society, resulting in striking income differences in society. Income inequality is a problem of income differences between high-income groups and low-income groups. The greater the difference in income, the greater the variation in income inequality. The analysis of the coefficient of determination aims to determine the ability of all independent variables to provide variations in their contribution to influencing the dependent variable as measured by percentages. Based on the results of the estimation of the regression equation in table 5.6, it can be seen that the coefficient of determination value obtained is 0.563632. These results show that 56.3% of the contribution to the rise and fall of the income inequality variable in West Sumatra can be explained by GRDP, unemployment rate, poverty rate, HDI. Meanwhile, the remaining 43.7% is influenced by other variables outside the model.

MONETARY POLICY RATE ON TRADE BALANCE IN NIGERIA
Numerous studies have examined the relationship between money supply, exchange rates, and trade balance. However, there is a lack of research in Nigeria specifically focusing on the impact of monetary policy rate on trade balance. Therefore, the objective of this study is to investigate the effect of monetary policy rate on Nigeria's trade balance. Drawing upon the absolute cost advantage theory of trade as the theoretical framework, this study utilized time series data from 1981 to 2022 and incorporated various variables such as trade balance (export-import), monetary policy rate, real exchange rates, real gross domestic product, crude oil price, interest rate, and foreign direct investment. To assess the long-term co-integration of these variables, the study employed the auto-regressive distributed lag (ARDL) model. The findings indicate that in the short run, monetary policy rate does not exert a significant influence on Nigeria's trade balance. However, in the long run, both variables demonstrate a significant impact. Consequently, the study concludes that monetary policy rate plays a crucial role in shaping the trade balance and suggests that the government should promote exports by reducing the impact of monetary policy rate, which could lead to a decrease in interest rates. This, in turn, would contribute to a surplus in the trade balance and foster economic growth within the country.

CLIMATE CHANGE AND PUBLIC HEALTH CARE EXPENDITURE IN NIGERIA
Despite the existence of various studies examining the effect of public health expenditure on health outcomes in Nigeria and other countries, as well as the relationship between public spending and CO2 emissions in other nations, this particular research focuses on the effects of climate change on public healthcare expenditure in Nigeria from 1990 to 2022. The study utilizes the Ordinary Least Squares and Error Correction Model (ECM) for estimation purposes. Unit root tests are conducted on variables such as carbon dioxide (greenhouse gas) emissions and population, which exhibit order zero I(0), while public healthcare expenditure per capita, gross domestic product per capita, and consumer price index exhibit order one I(1). To establish the long-term relationship between these variables, the Johansen co-integration test is employed. The results of the error correction model indicate a significant negative relationship between climate change and government healthcare expenditure, while population and gross domestic product per capita exhibit a significant positive relationship with government healthcare expenditure in Nigeria. Based on these findings, the study recommends that governments at all levels should strive to increase healthcare expenditure in the country, particularly during periods of climate change that affect people's health.
