Factors Affecting GRDP in Central Java: The Role of Zakat as A Moderating Variable

Abstract

This study examined the effect of education level, number of workers, and government expenditure on GRDP with Zakat as a moderating variable in Central Java from 2019 to 2023. The data analysis method used is panel data regression with moderating variables (MRA test). From the best selection results, the model chosen is FEM. Based on the results of the analysis selected partially where Education Level has a significant negative effect on GRDP, then the Number of Workers has a significant positive impact on GRDP and Government Expenditure has a positive insignificant effect. Then the zakat variable can moderate the Education Level of GRDP, but then zakat is unable to moderate the Number of Workers and Government Expenditure on GRDP in Central Java.
