Abstract

Energy policies, inflation, and carbon emissions are important factors that influence the purchasing power of society, particularly in developing countries such as Indonesia. The transition to renewable energy, inflation control, and carbon emission mitigation are expected to maintain economic stability and improve public welfare. In this context, it is crucial to analyze how these three factors interact in affecting the purchasing power of society, as well as the role of per capita income as a moderating variable. This study aims to analyze the effect of energy policies, inflation, and carbon emissions on the purchasing power of society in Indonesia, with per capita income as a moderating variable. A quantitative approach with a descriptive-correlational design is used, utilizing secondary time-series data from 2000 to 2023. The results show that energy policies that support the transition to renewable energy have a significant positive effect on purchasing power, as these policies drive economic growth, create new jobs, and reduce dependence on costly fossil fuels. Conversely, inflation and carbon emissions have a significant negative impact on purchasing power. Per capita income acts as a moderating variable that strengthens the positive impact of energy policies and weakens the negative effects of inflation and carbon emissions on purchasing power. The implications of this study suggest that government policies should focus on the development of renewable energy, inflation control, carbon emission mitigation, and increasing per capita income to protect purchasing power and support sustainable economic growth in Indonesia.
