ABSTRACT
This study aims to analyze the causality relationship and the long-term and short-term effects of the Islamic stock market and the Indonesia-Malaysia macroeconomic variables. The model used is ARDL (Auto-Regressive Distributed Lag), with monthly data from 2008: 01 to 2018: 12. The results showed that the JII variable had a positive and significant effect on the exchange rate in the long run. Short-term estimation results for Malaysia only variable interest rates have a negative and significant effect on Malaysian sharia shares. The results of the testing of the causality of the Indonesian sharia stock market and the five macroeconomic variables namely interbank interest rates (JIBOR), inflation, exchange rates, and foreign exchange reserves are one-way related. Unlike the case with Malaysia, the KLIBOR Interest Rate has a two-way relationship to Malaysian Sharia Shares. Certainty the right monetary policy will drive the development of the Indonesian economy. The results of this study can be useful for evaluating the development of sharia investment in order to avoid crisis shocks and macroeconomic impacts that occur at any time, both in Indonesia and Malaysia. Therefore, research on the causality of macroeconomic variables is very important to continue to be done to minimize the risks associated with Islamic investment.

ABSTRACT
This study aims to assess the determinants of household welfare in agricultural sector in the Province of Aceh, Indonesia. 10,036 of the Agricultural Business Households (ABH) from the 2013 Farmer Income Survey of Indonesia were analyzed using the binary logistic regression technique. The study found that age, gender, education level of household head, number of family members, agricultural sub-sector, income diversification, marketing difficulties, utilization of received subsidies and land ownership statistically and significantly influenced the welfare of ABH. On the other hand, the variable of utilization of agricultural cooperative facilities was found to be statistically insignificant in effecting the welfare of ABH. The number of household members, marketing difficulties, gender and agriculture sub-sector have the greatest influence on the welfare of ABH. These findings suggested the importance of establishing a program to increase farmer productivity at young age, empower female farmers, increase the number of agricultural workers up to the village level, socialize family planning, increase the number of production from the horticulture, food crops, and husbandry sub-sectors. Empowerment of marketing of agricultural products, enhancement of the use of subsidy, land grants, and improvement of facilities and infrastructure of agricultural sector would also improve the welfare of farmers
