Disruptive Religion And Ethical Opposition: The Force Of Moral Authority In Indonesia’S Democratic Consolidation, Savran Billahi, Idris Thaha, Suryani Suryani, Mohammad Ezha Fachriza Jan 2026

Disruptive Religion And Ethical Opposition: The Force Of Moral Authority In Indonesia’S Democratic Consolidation, Savran Billahi, Idris Thaha, Suryani Suryani, Mohammad Ezha Fachriza

Jurnal Wacana Politik

This article argues that democratic consolidation in Indonesia cannot be explained solely through the performance of formal institutions. By foregrounding ethical opposition as a missing variable in dominant consolidation theories, it shows that democracy has also been sustained by a normative infrastructure that legitimizes critique beyond institutional arenas. Based on qualitative historical analysis of Abdurrahman Wahid’s and Ahmad Syafii Maarif’s oppositional practices under the New Order and in the post-Reformasi period, the article finds that moral authority enabled non-institutional opposition to constrain state power, normalize dissent, and protect democratic quality. While both figures articulated a corrective and non-subversive mode of …

Teaching Horizontal Mergers To Undergraduates: The Case Of American Airlines And Us Airways Jan 2026

Teaching Horizontal Mergers To Undergraduates: The Case Of American Airlines And Us Airways

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

This paper proposes a novel approach to teaching about horizontal mergers. We use the case of the recent airline merger between American Airlines and US Airways to analyze its potential economic impacts. We describe the merger, discuss the institutional details of the US government’s decision-making process of approving or rejecting mergers, and explain the merger’s trade-offs using the Williamson model of market power and economic efficiency. The paper provides lecture materials, including an Excel simulation, presentation and sample assignments that can be used by instructors teaching undergraduate courses in intermediate microeconomics, managerial economics, industrial organization, and law and economics.

Biases And Student Portfolio Management Behavior Profiles: An Empirical Taxonomy Jan 2026

Biases And Student Portfolio Management Behavior Profiles: An Empirical Taxonomy

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

Many investment portfolios are managed by individuals. In order to better understand their portfolio decisions, we must understand how cognitive biases might affect behavior in making these decisions. While a simplistic view might only consider an individual’s management effort, a feature-based approach allows us a more developed understanding of portfolio management. To achieve this objective, this paper develops an empirical taxonomy of portfolio management behavior profiles through surveys of 48 undergraduates participating in the Stock-Trak® project. The four management profiles we define in this paper – Resolute, Insecure, Fastidious, and Passive are distinct in terms of behaviors, effort, and perceived …

It's Just Like Magic: The Economics Of Harry Potter Jan 2026

It's Just Like Magic: The Economics Of Harry Potter

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

Do the laws of economics apply in the magical world of Harry Potter? Even though J.K Rowling placed her characters in a world of magic, wizards remain subject to the implications of scarcity. As a result, the series is abundant with examples of basic economic principles. Given the popularity of the series, its use in the classroom is likely to inspire students to adopt the economic way of thinking for life. We demonstrate the pedagogical potential of the series by providing illustrations of trade-offs and opportunity costs, marginal thinking, the power of incentives, and the benefits of trade and commerce.

Productive Complements: Too Often Neglected In The Principles Course?

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

Many great economic thinkers, including Alfred Marshall and William Stanley Jevons discussed the importance of joint production, or productive complements, and there are important applications. Yet many students today could complete an economics major and never be introduced to this important concept.

Demystifying Free Cash Flow Valuation Jan 2026

Demystifying Free Cash Flow Valuation

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

In this paper we provide a straightforward framework for valuing firms. Students and even practitioners often struggle with the details of the valuation process as commonly presented in finance textbooks. Using a numerical case example, we highlight some of the fundamental but often misunderstood valuation concepts. First, we discuss the connection among major cash flow identities. Next, we demonstrate the use of the adjusted present value approach to perform firm valuation. When the capital structure is non-constant, the adjusted present value method yields more accurate results than the traditional valuation model that uses the weighted average cost of capital.

Daily Clicker Questions Combat Procrastination Jan 2026

Daily Clicker Questions Combat Procrastination

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

The use of classroom response systems to promote active learning is growing, but the evidence on whether clicker questions actually help students to learn is mixed. This paper uses formative assessments of individuals to predict their overall achievement instead of comparing the performance of clicker and control groups. It finds that students who answer more daily clicker questions correctly have higher summative assessments, after considering the effects of other important variables. Individuals who understand course content earlier also perform better in the end.

Clickers: Performance And Attitudes In Principles Of Microeconomics Jan 2026

Clickers: Performance And Attitudes In Principles Of Microeconomics

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

Clickers are one tool available to classroom instructors seeking new ways to engage students. There has been extensive research in the sciences studying the effectiveness of using clickers in the classroom but very little within the economic discipline. This study analyzes the relationship between using clickers for participation only and using clickers for graded daily quizzes in Microeconomics. Student attitudes concerning clickers are also investigated. While no significant difference is found in final course grade, results show that students perform best on daily quizzes taken with paper and pencil. Additionally, students overwhelmingly enjoy clickers in the classroom regardless of usage.

Dispelling The Pessimistic Bias Jan 2026

Dispelling The Pessimistic Bias

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

This paper provides resources and methods for confronting and refuting “the pessimistic bias.” This bias was identified by Bryan Caplan in The Myth of the Rational Voter: Why Democracies Choose Bad Policies (2007.) Caplan defines the pessimistic bias as “a tendency to overestimate the severity of economic problems and underestimate the (recent) past, present, and future performance of the economy.” It originates in the gap between public perceptions and historical reality. Professors and students of economics should: (1) be aware of the problem, and (2) have tools and methods to address this commonly-held bias.

Gains From Specialization And Trade Revisited: “How” Is Done And “Why” Must Be Explained Jan 2026

Gains From Specialization And Trade Revisited: “How” Is Done And “Why” Must Be Explained

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

Most textbooks have shown mutual gains from trade without explaining the source of the gains. Formally deriving the combined PPF from two individual PPFs, this paper demonstrates that the economy of two producers reaches their combined PPF if and only if at least one of them fully specializes according to her comparative advantage. Such specialization causes the total production to rise, as it is maximized on the combined PPF. It also shows how such specialization is endogenously determined under the perfect competition. It also explains who (and how to) benefit more from specialization in international trade and in labor market.

Using Bloomberg Real-Time Data And Analytics To Teach Economics And Finance Jan 2026

Using Bloomberg Real-Time Data And Analytics To Teach Economics And Finance

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

This paper shows the benefits of incorporating the Bloomberg terminal in teaching economics and finance classes. The Bloomberg terminal differs from traditional teaching methods by bringing students into the laboratory of the real world through the use of real-time data and news to reinforce and to apply his/her knowledge of theory and institutions. A methodical way of using this technology in teaching economics and finance electives is discussed. Results suggest that using the Bloomberg terminal makes student comprehension of theoretical and applied material deeper. Moreover, their performance in other classes, internships and jobs suggests that this approach improves retention.

Teaching The Law Of Supply Using Karaoke Jan 2026

Teaching The Law Of Supply Using Karaoke

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

This paper describes an active-learning strategy for teaching the law of supply using karaoke. Unlike the law of demand, which is second nature by the time students reach college, the law of supply is less familiar. If you are unsure about this claim, poll your class to see how many students have tangible experience running a business. Due to this lack of familiarity, we deploy karaoke to illustrate the fundamental nature of the supply curve, along with the difference between movements along the supply curve and supply shifters. We also provide extensions and a number of variations of this method …

Swansonomics: Using “Parks And Recreation” To Teach Economics Jan 2026

Swansonomics: Using “Parks And Recreation” To Teach Economics

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

Based on a first-year multidisciplinary course, Swansonomics is a class where students examine the libertarian beliefs espoused by the character Ron Swanson from the television series Parks and Recreation. The show provides great examples of rent seeking, fiscal policy issues, social policy issues, and bureaucratic incentive structures. These Parks and Recreation video clips can be used in any class to cover a variety of issues. Examples of topics include the expected economic consequences of specific political or economic philosophies, unintended consequences of policies, various systems of taxation, public and private incentive structures, and varying degrees of capitalism and government intervention.
