This paper aims to investigate independent variables affecting profitabilityof cooperatives in Buleleng, Bali proxied by a ratio of earnings and total assetsthrough an econometric modeling. We initially identified 18 variables affectingthe ratio but we then dropped a number of independent variables insignificantlyaffecting the ratio. Conducting 15 modelling, the last econometric model is aBLUE (Best Linear Unbiased Estimators) model implying that the model has noclassical assumptions problems at all. The BLUE model suggests thatindependent variables affecting profitability of cooperatives in Buleleng, Bali arecurrent assets, debt to total assets, age, and the number of member ofcooperatives.
