This paper analyzes the information content of the forward exchange rates implied by the interest rate parity, using the Korea and U.S. interest rates and Won/dollar exchange rates observed during the period of March 1991 to December 2002. First, we test the cointegration between implied forward exchange rates and future spot exchange rates to examine their longrun relationship, and find the existence of cointegration. Next, we examine the international Fisher effect and estimate an error correction model for their shortrun relationship. Our analysis supports the international Fisher effect for longer maturities. Our result also supports the error correction model that states that the future spot exchange rates will be adjusted reflecting the information contained in the past-period implied forward rates which is not fully reflected to current spot rates. Finally, we also find that the term structure of implied forward exchange rates is associated with the changes in future spot rates for longer maturities. Based on our findings, we conclude that the longrun relationship exists between the implied forward exchange rates and future spot exchange rates, and the shortrun deviation from the relationship tend to disappear as they return to the longrun relationship in the course of time.

Abstrak Inflasi merupakan salah satu indikator perekonomian yang penting, laju perubahannya selalu diupayakan rendah dan stabil. Inflasi yang tinggi dan tidak stabil merupakan cerminan akan kecenderungan naiknya tingkat harga barang dan jasa secara umum dan terus menerus sehingga akan melemahkan daya beli masyrakat yang nantinya akan berdampak pada penurunan pendapatan nasional. Oleh karena itu diharapkan adanya pengendalian laju inflasi yang akhir-akhir ini menunjukkan grafik yang meningkat. Penelitian ini membahas tentang “Analisis Pengaruh Suku bunga dan Nilai Kurs Terhadap Tingkat Inflasi Di Indonesia Periode 1985-2014”, bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh suku bunga, dan nilai kurs terhadap tingkat inflasi di Indonesia dengan menggunakan error correction model (ECM). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa suku bunga berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap tingkat inflasi di Indonesia, nilai kurs RP/US Dollar berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap tingkat inflasi di Indonesia.   Keywords: tingkat inflasi, suku bunga, dan nilai kurs.   Abstract Inflation is one of the important economic indicators, the rate of change is always besought low and stable. High and unstable inflation is a reflection of the tendency to increase the level of prices of goods and services in general and continuously so that it will weaken the purchasing power of the people which will reduce national incomelater. Therefore, it is expected to control the inflation rate, which lately shows an increasing graph. This study discusses "The analysis of the Influence of Interest Rates and Exchange Rates to the Inflation Rate in Indonesia for the Period 1985-2014", aims to determine the effect of interest rates, and the exchange rate on the inflation rate in Indonesia using the error correction model (ECM). The results of this study indicate that interest rates have a positive and significant effect on the inflation rate in Indonesia, the exchange rate of Rupiah / US dollar has a positive and significant effect on the inflation rate in Indonesia.   Keywords: Inflation Rate, Interest Rates, and Exchange Rates.

The purchasing power parity doctrine in determining exchange rate changes focuses on  price factor changes (Jiang, Li, Chang, & Su, 2013)This study examines how currency and interest rates interact with each other to achieve a balance position in the foreign exchange market.Through this approach the exchange rate is determined by the balance of demand and supply between two currencies. This approach also explains how the influence of economic variables such as money supply, national income, price level, and interest rate on the formation of currency rates. Data using  the first quarter of 2000 through the fourth quarter of 2013, With econometric analysis through cointegration approach and Error Correction Model will be tested the validity of interest rate parity condition in Indonesi.Estimation of the error correction model variable (V), indicating that the variable passed the t test at 5% confidence level. It indicates that the models specification is acceptable and there is cointegration between the observed variables.

Inflation is a macroeconomic problem that is of concern to many parties because unstable inflation has a negative impact on people's welfare. This study aims to estimate the factors that influence inflation in Indonesia for the period 1998 - 2020. The research method uses descriptive analysis by providing an overview of inflation, interest rates, exchange rates, household consumption, and GDP in Indonesia during 1998-2020. Quantitative analysis using Error Correction Model (ECM). This study uses secondary data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) and Bank Indonesia (BI). The results obtained indicate that all variables (interest rates, exchange rates, household consumption, and GDP) simultaneously have a significant effect on inflation, both in the long and short term. Based on the partial test results, the interest rate variable has a positive and significant impact on inflation in Indonesia both in the long and short time. The exchange rate variable partially has a negative and significant effect on inflation in Indonesia, both in the long and short term. Furthermore, the GDP variable partially has a positive and significant impact on inflation in a long time but is not substantial in the short term. Meanwhile, the household consumption variable partially has no significant effect on inflation in Indonesia during the 1998-2020 period.

This paper estimates the demand for money in Rwanda over the 2008Q3 to 2015Q4 period via unit root and cointegration methods. Utilizing the Johansen cointegration methodology, it establishes that a long-term relationship exists among the included variables. The paper also estimates an error correction model (ECM) as well as a vector error correction model (VECM), extending previous analyses by testing for Granger causality among the variables. It finds that the narrow definition of money, M1, serves as a relatively better measure of the money aggregate than M2, and M3. The long-term interest rate (LKRR) also seems to provide relatively better results than the short-term rate (LRR, and LTR) when we use broad money definition, M2. Both the ECM and VECM for M1, narrow definition of money estimates showed the expected signs, in the ECM model as expected LM1 and LGDP were positively related while LM1 and LKRR, LRR, and LTR were negatively related. The adjustment coefficient in the ECM showed that about 79.75 % of disequilibrium is corrected in each quarter. Impulse response functions suggest that the traditional money demand function, which places LM1 as its ‘dependent’ variable while including income and interest rates as its regressors, was stable with little responses in the specific case of Rwanda over the period under review.

This study aims to determine and analyze the factors that influence foreign debt in Indonesia with variables that effect economic growth, inflation, and foreign interest rates. This type of research is associative descriptive research, where the data used is secondary data from 1970 to 2017 obtained from institutions and related institutions, which are analyzed using the Error Correction Model (ECM) method. This study initially used the Ordinary Lest Square (OLS) method to see long-term, and used ECM because it wanted to see short-term at the same time. The findings of this study indicate that economic growth and inflation have a significant effect in the long run, but the interest rates have no significant effect, and in the short term all have a significant effect on foreign debt in Indonesia. Keywords: foreign debt, economic growth, inflation, interest rates and error correction model (ECM)

The aim of this research is to examine the existence of Fisher Effect for Indonesian Economy, by regressing interest rate on rate of inflation in period 1980-2011. With co-integration and error correction technique, the results indicate that an increases of one percent in inflation rate lead to increase in interest rate at 0,13 percent in short-run and at 0,95 percent in longrun. This research can’t confirm the existence of Fisher Effect in Indonesian Economy in short-run, but this effect exists in long-run. Keywords: Fisher Effect, Interest Rate, Inflation Rate, Co-integration, Error Correction Model

This study aimed to analyze the influence of the GDP, the real interest rate, the labor force, the private investment in Indonesia. The data used in this research is time-series data from 2000 to 2014. The research model uses an error correction model (ECM). The results showed in the long term, GDP, labor force and real interest rates have a statistically significant relationship good and theory with a confidence level of 95 percent. In the long-term estimate found that the labor force will greatly affect private investment and the estimated short-term real interest rates affect the amount of investment that will go to Indonesia. In coefficient explained, the labor force has a strong influence and advice foreign investment into the country. For short-term model estimation results indicate GDP and real interest rates significantly affect the labor force in private investment but no significant effect on private investment. However, both long term and short term, variable real interest rates still the basic reason for investing. In result of cointegration explain that the variable GDP, real interest rates, and the laborforce has a cointegration relation to investment in the long term. The government needs to increase investment and promote the economy and set the interest rates are low. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis pengaruh PDB, tingkat bunga riil, angkatan kerja, terhadap investasi swasta di Indonesia. Data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah data time-series tahun 2000 hingga tahun 2014. Model penelitian ini menggunakan Error Corection Model (ECM). Hasil menunjukkan dalam jangka panjang, PDB, angkatan kerja dan suku bunga riil memiliki hubungan signifikan baik statistik dan teori dengan tingkat kepercayaan 95 persen. Pada estimasi jangka panjang ditemukan bahwa angkatan kerja akan sangat mempengaruhi investasi swasta dan estimasi jangka pendek, tingkat suku bunga riil mempengaruhi besarnya investasi yang akan masuk ke Indonesia. Secara koefisien menjelaskan, angkatan kerja memiliki pengaruh yang cukup kuat dan memberi masukan investasi asing ke dalam negeri. Untuk hasil estimasi model jangka pendek menunjukkan PDB dan tingkat bunga riil berpengaruh secara signifikan terhadap investasi swasta tetapi angkatan kerja tidak berpengaruh signifikan terhadap investasi swasta. Namun demikian, baik jangka panjang maupun jangka pendek, variabel tingkat suku bunga riil masih menjadi alasan dasar untuk berinvestasi. Dalam hasil kointegrasi menjelaskan bahwa variabel PDB, suku bunga riil, dan angkatan kerja memiliki hubungan kointegrasi terhadap investasi dalam jangka panjang. Pemerintah perlu meningkatkan investasi dan memajukan perekonomian serta mengatur suku bunga yang rendah.
