The Influence of Global Financial Liquidity on the Indonesian Economy: Dynamic Analysis with Threshold VAR

Abstract

Empirical studies of the global liquidity spillover on Indonesia’s economy are still relatively limited. Most of the global contagion literature on Indonesia’s economy focuses only on the effects of real shock (on output) due to financial shock. We assert that the effect of global output on Indonesia macroeconomic conditions is a fairly relevant issue to be studied. This research aims to investigate the interdependent relationships between world GDP, world commodity prices, world inflation, trade flows, capital inflow, capital account transactions, reserve accumulation, global liquidity (e.g., global broad money), and monetary aggregates, with regard to Indonesia’s GDP variables and inflation. This paper uses threshold vector autoregression (TVAR) to capture regime changes in the variables of the world economy. World economic data and Indonesia’s economic data were utilized to prove different responses to the world economic situation in two different regimes. This research identified two groups of upper regime and lower regime world variables—namely, world inflation, world GDP, and world commodity prices. TVAR estimation resulted in a smaller residual sum of squares compared to VAR estimation. Different regimes resulted in differences in Indonesia’s economic responses due to the shock of world economic variables. The findings generated by this research are expected to be insightful to monetary policymakers in Indonesia.

Dynamization Analysis of Capital Inflow, Credit Allocation, and Banking Performance using Panel Vector Autoregressive

“…In contrast, banks in countries with low GDP experience a positive performance boost so that ROE has an increasing impact. This result can be explained by the presence of Ekananda and Suryanto (2021).…”

“…Economics between countries add to the complexity of capital flows. Global capital flows are increasingly mobile and spread through various means, including direct investment flows and portfolio investments (Ekananda & Suryanto, 2021). Samarina and Bezemer (2016) explained that various factors influence domestic banking credit distribution allocation.…”

Panel VAR for Analyzing Business Cycle Influence on the Distribution of Sharia Banking Financing in Indonesian Sharia Banking

“…Even though all Variables affect each other and there is no sequence in conducting the pvar test, when the order of compiling commands in a randomized state will produce the same estimation and Response results, it is possible to determine the transmission and sequence using the Cholesky orthogonalization method. The use of Cholesky can produce two types of analysis: the analysis of Response in the event of a shock and the Response in the next after a shock (Ekananda and Suryanto, 2021).…”

Prevention Village Fund Fraud in Indonesia: Moral Sensitivity as a Moderating Variable

“…Good governance contributes to various development goals through internal changes in how power is managed, from the usual state control and command to a new, more balanced way of connecting with different stakeholders (Handayani et al 2020;Ekananda and Suryanto 2021). Based on this statement, every organization must practice good governance and not rule out the possibility at the village government level.…”
