Sugar industry in Indonesia has been experiencing rapid growth in local consumption, a decrease in domestic production, an increasingly growing import dependency, and a rise in the cost of energy use. This study explores the efficiency of energy use in the Indonesian sugar industry from 2010 to 2014 by applying the input distance function based on the trans-log model to all sugar mills across the country. The results revealed that substantial differences in energy efficiency exist across the provinces. The average energy efficiency is nearly 0.68, with the most efficient regions reaching nearly 0.77 and the lowest ones scoring about 0.62. The sugar mills in the provinces of Gorontalo, Banten, South Sulawesi, and East Java are more efficient than those of other provinces. The energy efficiency function suggested that increasing production volume can help to achieve more efficient energy use. Additionally, as labor and capital are substitute inputs, improvements in capital investment (technological upgrade) may yield larger outputs and contribute to more energy-efficient production. Meanwhile, raw materials and capital are complementary inputs, so improvements in energy efficiency via a larger mill size, bigger capital investment, and more efficient sourcing of raw materials can support the national government's production targets sustainably.

This paper aims at promoting prospective Intellectual Property (IP) securitization as a feasible mode of financing creative industries demanding instant capital to operate, develop products and promote market expansion. The proposed approach is dedicated to accelerate new financial sources of support to strengthen and develop creativity and productivity in the creative industries. The current paper introduces a new legal institution which is not regulated yet under Indonesia's positive laws. It shows how creative companies might use the institution to gain direct and indirect benefits. It is acknowledged that this proposal may spark challenges at the doctrinal, normative and practical levels. At the doctrinal level, the potential for challenge refers to the philosophical issue related to exclusive rights doctrine. At the normative level, the challenges are caused by the absence of regulation concerning IP securitization in Indonesia influencing the validity and viability of IP securitization transactions. At the practical level, this proposal may not guarantee the certainty of IP valuation as a unique asset involving complex procedures, interdisciplinary laws, profesionals and so forth. In order to overcome the doctrinal challenge, this paper offers relevant principles which may function to balance the acceleration of IP securitization as a new financing mechanism for creativity and prevent unrestricted exploitation of IP exclusive rights. For addressing any normative and practical challenges, this work promotes the need for government involvement in developing and promoting IP securitization by providing economic and legal frameworks, started by enactment of IP securitization regulation and the establishment of infrastructures for IP securitization
Indonesia has become the largest producer and exporter of crude palm oil commodities in the world. Therefore, the production of CPO turns out to be very greedy for land. There are any problems in production CPO, therefore the study aims to develop a conceptual framework of the source of output growth, whether driven by input or productivity growth, and to implement this concept by investigating the source of output growth in the crude palm oil industry in Indonesia. The investigation applies firm-level panel data and follows a quantitative approach using general method of moments to estimate the production coefficients and calculate the input and productivity growth. The result shows that the output growth of the crude palm oil industry does not lead in productivity growth driven. It seems to be driven by input growth, not by productivity growth. Since growth is still driven by input, the crude palm oil industry will be less competitive in the world market. The high world demand for crude palm oil commodities from Indonesia must be met by using more efficient input factors, optimizing production scale, and supporting technological progress. The government, therefore, must have strategies that are more competitive in the global market.
