Abstract

        AFTA has been starting since 2003. This study will investigate Indonesia’s bilateral trade with ASEAN member by examining intra-industry trade. The Grubel-Lloyd Index is applied to measure intra-industry trade. Intra –industry trade is classified based on factor intensity in the production process. There are natural resource intensive, unskilled labor intensive, physical capital intensive, human capital intensive and technological intensive.         This research shows that level of Indonesia’s intra-industry trade with ASEAN-4 has increased rapidly since 1995. In particular, intra-industry trade level of physical capital intensive (PCI) and technology intensive (TI) is relatively high. An intra-industry trade level of human capital intensive (HCI) and unskilled labor intensive is at medium level. Meanwhile, intra-industry trade level of natural resources industry (NRI) tends to decrease.Keywords: Intra Industry Trade, Inter Industry Trade and Grubel-Llyod Index.

Abstract

The local expenditure in Indonesia either province level or district level rely upon intergovernmental transfers. Theoretically, if the lump sums transfers have more stimulate effect on the local expenditure rather than local private income, they can cause the flypaper effect phenomenon. This study investigates whether the intergovernmental transfer leads to the flypaper effect in the province level during 1995-2002. By using the panel data, the results demon-strate that intergovernmental transfers cause the flypaper effect. Our findings also show that the flypaper effect exists heavily at east region as a backward area than west region as a well-developed area. This finding supports the previous research in districts and municipali-ties.Keyword: Intergovernmental transfers, Local government, Flypaper Effect, panel data

Abstract

This study analyzes Indonesian aggregate imports by using expenditure components approach since Indonesian Economy relies highly on import. The relationship between ag¬gregate imports and the component of final demand expenditure namely public and private consumption expenditure, investment expenditure and export is investigated because the dif¬ferent components of final demand expenditure have different import contents. In addition, the model also includes price of import as a determinant demand for import.Johansen Multivariate co integration is proposed to analyze the import behavior in the long run. To examine response of import to its determinants in the short run, an error correction model is applied. Quarterly data during 1990.1-2003.2 are used for the analysis. The results demonstrate both the components of final demand expenditure and price of im¬port are all important factor in determining aggregate demand for imports not only in the long run but also in the short run.Keywords: Demand for imports, Components of final demand expenditure, Cointegration, Error Correction Model.

Abstract

In forecasting financial time series such as inflation, there is a reason to believe that variance of error term is volatile. Reseachers are likely to find periode of high volatility with large errors, then it is followed by periode of low volatilty with smaller errors. The variability could occur because the financial market is very sensitive to changes in government monetary and fiscal policies, even non economic factor such as political upheavals, rumors etc. The variance of errors is not constant but varies from one period to another period. It contains some kind of outocorrelation in the variance of errors. This  model is so-called autoregressive conditional heterscedasticity (ARCH).The goal of this study is to apply ARCH model in estimating financial time series in Indonesia with montly data of inflation  during 1994.1-2002.4 period and to compare it with OLS model. The inflation data exhibit volatility, suggesting that variance of inflation varies over time. By using the ARCH model, the results prove that ARCH-M model with maximum likelihood estimation gives better results than the OLS one.

Abstract

AbstractThis study analyses calorie and protein consumption in Central Java Province. The calorie and protein elasticity are derived from demand elasticity of the ten food groups encompassing cereals, fish, meats, eggs and milk, vegetables, fruits, oil and fats, prepared foods and drinks, other foods and tobacco products. Most of calorie and protein-price elasticity of the ten food group are negative. Consumption of calorie and protein are most responsive to prices of eggs and milk. Protein -price elasticities are less elastic than calorie-price elasticities. Calorie and protein-income elasticity are positive and become lesselastic in moving from lower to higher income households but protein is less responsive to income change than calorie. Keywords: QUAIDS, demand elasticity, nutrient elasticity, Central Java ProvinceJEL Classification numbers: D12, O12AbstrakStudi ini menganlisis konsumsi kalori dan protein di Jawa Tengah. Elastisitas kalori dan protein dihitung dari elastisitas permintaan dari 10 kelompok komoditi makanan yang terdiri dari padi-padian, ikan, daging, telur dan susu, sayur-sayuran, buah-buahan, minyak dan lemak, makanan dan minumun jadi, makanan lainnya dan tembakau dan hasilnya. Sebagian besar elastisitas harga kalori dan protein adalah negatif. Konsumsi kalori dan protein adalah kelompok makanan yang paling responsif terhadap perubahan harga telur dan susu. Elastisitas pendapatan kalori dan protein adalah positif tetapi menjadi lebih elastis untuk rumah tangga berpenghasilan lebih tinggi tetapi protein kurang responsif terhadap perubahan pendapatan daripada kalori.Keywords: QUAIDS, elastisitas permintaan, elastisitas nutrisi, Jawa TengahJEL Classification numbers: D12, O12

Abstract

Perekonomian Indonesia adalah perekonomian yang menganut sistem ekonomi terbuka. Di dalam sistem ini lalu lintas ekonomi internasional mengambil peranan yang penting di dalam perekonomian dan pembangunan suatu negara. Pentingnya lalu lintas ekonomi internasional bagi Indonesia dapat dilihat dari rasio perdagangan luar negeri terhadap Produk Domestik Bruto (PDB).

Abstract

Impact of population on economic growth had been questioned a long time ago, Classical economist, Adam Smith, emphasizes that high rate of population growth would support economic growth through specialization and division of labor. In other hand, Thomas R. Mathus, another classical economist, emphasizes the negatives effect of population investment rate and in turn results in a lower of economic growth.
