Abstract Objective: To explore the socio demographic determinants of nutritional status of Pakistani women. Methods: Secondary data from recent Pakistan Demographic and Health Survey (PDHS 2017-18) is taken. Data collection period is from 22 November 2017 to 30 April 2018. Ordinary least square (OLS) and quantile regression (QR) models are used for analysis. Results: QR model is found appropriate for BMI data to capture effect at different level of distribution of BMI. Less than 5% women are under nutrition for some categories of factors. Age of women, women’s education, frequency of watching TV, wealth index, husband’s education and region (KPK, Balochistan) showed a positive effect on women’s BMI in Pakistan across all conditional distribution of BMI. In contrary, age of women at first birth, women’s agriculture or manual working status, gender of household head (female) and region (Sindh) showed negative effect on women’s BMI in Pakistan. Conclusion: It is concluded that overweight/obesity is becoming serious problem as compared to undernutrition in Pakistani women. Percentage of deprived women is little and level of under nutrition is also not alarming.  Privileged women (with respect to education, economic status, urbanization, sedentary life style) have more chances to have higher BMI (overweight or obese). Women of KPK and Balochistan are at higher risk of overweight/ obesity as compared to Punjabi women. Keywords: PDHS 2017-18, Ordinary Least Square (OLS), Quantile Regression (QR) Model, Continuous....

<em>The agricultural sector</em><em> is a strategic sector in Manokwari regency.

To find out how big the factors that influence changes in economic structures of domination of the agricultural sector into non-agricultural sector estimates used Ordinary Least Square (OLS). For the determination of the potential commodities that can be seeded used method approach Location Quotient (LQ). The results showed the greatest contribution of the different sub-sectors within the agricultural sector contained in the food crops sub-sector. Based on the rate of growth per year, plantation crops sub-sector occupied the highest positions. The sectors that provide real impact on the agricultural sector's contribution to the regional gross domestic product �of the building sector and services sector.

This study investigates the impact of fuel price adjusment on changes in fuel consumption and inflation in Indonesia. This study uses secondary data obtained from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Trade, Bank Indonesia, the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), and PT Pertamina (Persero) from 2006 to 2016 and analyzed by using Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method. Research showed, if the government increases Premium Gasoline's price by 10%, in average its consumption would decrease around 2,99 %. However, if the Pertamax Gasoline's price increases, the consumption of Premium Gasoline would also increase due to substitution effect. Every 10% increase in Subsidized Diesel's price, in average its consumption would decrease around 4,80 % and vice versa. However, if the Pertamina dex's price increases, the consumption of Subsidized Diesel would also increase due to substitution effect. Moreover, IDR1.000/L increase in Premium Gasoline's Price would contribute 1,10 % to the inflation rate. On the other hand, increase in Subsidized Diesel's price does not contribute to the inflation rate.

In protecting and empowering the farmers, farmers group, and farmers group association (Gapoktan) from falling prices of grain and rice at harvest time and food accessibility problems, the government through the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security Agency implemented the Strengthening the Institutions of Community Food Distribution Program (Strengthening-LDPM). This research was aimed to analyse the level of efficiency and to identify factors influencing the efficiency of Gapoktan in implementing the Strengthening-LDPM by involving 40 Gapoktan post-independence. The data used in this research were primary and secondary data, drawn from stockopname reports in 2014. This research used DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) analysis, assuming that CRS (Constant Return to Scale) and VRS (Variable Return to Scale) using output-oriented assumptions. In addition, factors affecting the efficiency were analysed using multiple regression OLS (Ordinary Least Square). Based on DEA-CRS approach, as much as 37.5% Gapoktan were efficient and 62.5% Gapoktan were inefficient. Whereas with the approach of the DEA-VRS, 50% Gapoktan were efficient and 50% Gapoktan were inefficient. The average age of Gapoktan board, total volume of grain or rice sales, total volume of food reserve, and total loan interest affect significantly in increasing the efficiency of Gapoktan in running the strengthening-LDPM Program.
