The financial security state of the country directly depends on the amount of resources available in the financial system. Internal sources of financing of the economic and social needs may deprive the government of the necessity seek opportunities for obtaining external borrowings, which lead the country to the loss of financial autonomy. The financial inclusion of the population and business entities into the process of using financial products and services will stabilize the situation in the financial market by obtaining additional financial resources by its professional participants. At the same time, the lack of control of this process can lead to new threats for financial security at micro and macro levels. In view of this, the purpose of the study is to specify the opportunities and risks of financial inclusion for the financial security of financial intermediaries and the state as a whole. The object of the study was the level of financial inclusion, a set of factors that affect it, and a list of the consequences that its change may have for financial security. As the theoretical basis of the study, the reporting materials of financial market regulators were used, as well as information obtained from the application of such methods of scientific research as the analysis by which the level of financial inclusion in different sectors of the financial market was established, and the expert method implemented through surveys and questionnaires. Its use enabled to get a quantitative assessment of the level of financial inclusion of the population and economic entities. As a result of the study, the possible, positive consequences, risks and challenges of financial inclusion for the financial component of economic security are specified and systematized. The practical significance of the results of the survey is the possibility of developing on their basis the mechanisms for stimulating and controlling the level of financial inclusion by the financial market national regulators.

    The risk of virus contracting during the COVID-19 pandemic has changed consumer preference for online shopping to meet their daily needs than shopping in brick-and-mortar stores. Online shopping presents a different environment, atmosphere, and experience. The possibility of ethical violations is higher during online than face-to-face transactions. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the influence of perceived health risk and customer perception of online retail ethics on consumer online shopping behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic, involving seven variables, namely perceived health risk, security, privacy, non-deception, reliability fulfillment, service recovery, and online shopping behavior. The data were collected through an online survey by employing the purposive sampling technique to a consumer who has shopped online during the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia. 315 valid responses were obtained and analyzed through quantitative method using SEM-Amos. The results showed that perceived health risk and four variables of online retail ethics including security, privacy, reliability fulfillment, and service recovery affected online shopping behavior. Meanwhile, non-deception was found to have an insignificant effect. The coefficient value proved perceived health risk to be more dominant in influencing online shopping behavior than the variables of online retail ethics. Thus, consumers pay more concern for their health during online shopping. However, positive consumer perceptions of the behavior of online retail websites in providing services also can encourage consumers to shop online during this pandemic.

    The government bond (GB) has become the most attractive investment portfolio option, even though many macroeconomic factors affect the bond yield. This paper aims to investigate the determining factor of local currency government bond yield by considering the inflation rate, credit default swap, stock market index, exchange rate, and volatility index. This study used 240 data panel from the Bloomberg stock market in the form of data panel covering Southeast developing countries, namely Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, and the Philippines, for five years or sixty months from January 2015 to December 2019. Data analysis used recursive models and multivariate regression techniques using EViews software. The random effect model results revealed that change in the foreign exchange rate and volatility indexes affected, partially and simultaneously, the changes in the stock market index. The result also showed that changes in the stock market index, inflation rate, and credit default swap affected, partially and simultaneously, government bond yield changes. These results suggest that the government bond yield could be managed by controlling volatility index, foreign exchange rate, stock market index, inflation rates, and credit default swaps. This finding could provide an insight into the policymaker and fiscal authority on managing the risk of government bonds under control during high volatility or even making it reasonably lower. This result could contribute to the current research in the field of financial management.

    The stock market represents complex systems where multiple agents interact. The complexity of the environment in the financial markets in general has encouraged the use of modeling by multi-agent platforms and particularly in the case of the stock market.
    In this paper, an agent-based simulation model is proposed to study the behavior of the volume of market transactions. The model is based on the case of a single asset and three types of investor agents. Each investor can be a zero intelligent trader, fundamentalist trader or traders using historical information in the decision making process. The goal of the study is to simulate the behavior of a stock market according to the different considered endogenous and exogenous variables.
