Abstract

Research Originality: This research examines the asymmetric impact of Islamic bank financing on employment in IndonesiaResearch Objectives:. This research aims to test the nolinear impact (gn) of Islamic bank financing on employment in IndonesiaResearch Methods: This research utilizes secondary data from 2006 to 2022 and employs non-linear ARDL (Auto Regressive Distributive Lag) and Conditional ECM (Error Correction Model) analysis methodsEmpirical Results: In the short term, increases in Islamic bank financing significantly boost labor force participation (LFPR), while decreases have no significant effects. Long-term analysis shows positive changes continue to enhance LFPR, but negative changes do not impact GDP. The impact of financing on LFPR is symmetrical over time, indicating short-term asymmetries do not persistImplications: This research implies that the Indonesian government can boost the growth of Islamic bank financing to increase employment opportunities for the population both in the short and long term.JEL Classification: E24, G21,C32How to Cite:Cahyono, E.
