Causal relationships are often treated erroneously in isolation as a single equation without the consideration of the endogeneity of right-hand side variables and also without recourse to the presence of coco-integration. This study modelled and estimated the dynamic linear interdependence between international trade and macroeconomic stability in Nigeria. The specific objectives were to, establish the trend of the study variables, model and estimate the interdependence existing among total export, total import, exchange rate, and inflation rate, determine the significant causalities and summarize the causal channels among the study variables. The study used the quasi-experimental design. The study used monthly time series data which span from January, 2000 to June, 2019. The data on all the variables were sourced from the Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin. Appropriate models were specified in line with the objectives. The study used the Vector Error Correction Models, the pre and post-diagnostic tests were also conducted.  The unit root test results showed that the variables were integrated of order one [I(1)]. The co-integration test results showed 1 co-integrating equation and VAR lag length selection criteria choose lag 2. The Vector Error Correction Result showed that inflation rate was the most explained by variations in the independent variables (R2 =73.4%) while exchange Rate was the least explained (R2 =18.8%), the total export model had R2 =53.8% and total import model had (R2 =59.2%. Significant bi-directional causality was found between total export and inflation rate, and also between total import and inflation rate. There was also significant joint causality on total import and also on exchange rate. The post test showed that the models were stable. It was recommended that the right-hand side variables should be tested for endogeneity before concluding on single or system equation. It was also recommended that policies to check inflation rate should consider possibility of shocks to international trade.

The role of macroeconomic variables cannot be ignored because it plays a very important role in shaping the economy of any country, irrespective of whether it is developing, underdeveloped or developed. The macroeconomic variables were disposable income (DI), government policies (GP), inflation rate (INF), interest rate (IR), exchange rate (ER) and stock price. Monthly data of 10 years were used, that is, from April 2006 to March 2016. Analyses of augmented Dickey–Fuller test, preliminary tests, stability tests, cointegration, vector error correction model (VECM) variance decomposition analysis (VDA) and impulse response have been applied to examine the association between the selected macroeconomic variable and stock returns. All the variables are stationary at 1st difference. The results showed that the residues are normally distributed and that there is no problem of multicollinearity, heteroskedasticity and serial correlation. The results of the cointegration showed a strong long-term relationship among DI, GP, the inflation rate, the exchange rate and the IR on the stock price in Bombay Stock Exchange of India. Results of vector error correction model revealed that in the short run, there was a negative and significant relationship between inflation rate and stock returns; therefore, it can be implied that an increase in the inflation rate eroded the prospect of positive performance among the Sensex but was not significant.

Economic relationships are often modelled without consideration of a possible regime switch, the transmission from one regime to another and the duration of stay in a particular regime which are not captured by linear models. This study aimed to model and estimate the interdependence existing among Nigeria’s International Trade and Macroeconomic Stability. Specifically, this study sought to estimate and compare the estimated Models, select the best Model and determine the probabilities of stay, the expected duration of stay in a particular regime. The study adopted a quasi-experimental design. Time series data on the study variables from January 2000 to June 2019 were obtained from the Statistical Bulletin of the Central Bank of Nigeria. Models were specified accordingly, the statistical analyses were carried out using the Markov Switching Intercept Vector Autoregressive Models, the pre and post-diagnostic tests were also conducted. The unit root test results showed I (1). VAR lag length selection criteria choose lag 2. The MS-VAR analysis identified two regimes (expansion and contraction), the information criteria selected the Markov-Switching Intercept Autoregressive Heteroschedastic 2 Variance Auto-regression 2 [MSIARH (2) - VAR (2)]. The MS-VAR results in regime 1 showed that lags 1 and 2 of total export significantly affected total export and total import, Lags 1 and 2 of total import had significant effects on exchange rate while lags 1 of exchange rate and lags 1 and 2 of exchange rate had significant effects on inflation rate. In Regime 2, lag 1 of total export and lag 2 of exchange rate had significant effects on total export. Only lag 2 of inflation rate had significant effects on exchange rate while lag 2 of total export and lags 1 and 2 of exchange rate had significant effects on the inflation rate. The results also showed an 89% probability of staying in regime 1 for a duration of 8 months 8 days and 57% probability of staying in regime 2 for 2 months 10 days. It was concluded that the MSIARH (2) - VAR (2). It was recommended that the right-hand side variables should be tested for endogeneity before concluding on single or system equation. It was also recommended that the possibility of regimes should be verified before concluding on linear or nonlinear models.

Exchange Rate Change Effects on Indonesia’s Foodstuff Consumer Price IndexThe fluctuation in exchange rate Indonesia may have an impact on the price of imported goods both consumer goods (finished goods) and raw materials. The aim of this study is to analyze the impact of exchange rate changes on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) of foods categories and analyze the role of the exchange rate in explaining fluctuations in the CPI of food category in Indonesia. Econometric analysis using vector error correction model, indicates that the greatest degree of pass-through occurs in the consumer price index groups of milk and eggs. Contributions of exchange rate as the result of decomposition of forecasting error variance is largest in the meat category.Keywords: Exchange Rate Pass-Through; Consumer Price Index of Foodstu; Vector Error Correction ModelAbstrakPerubahan nilai tukar dapat berdampak pada harga barang-barang yang diimpor baik barang konsumsi (barang jadi) maupun bahan baku. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dampak perubahan nilai tukar terhadap Indeks Harga Konsumen (IHK) kelompok bahan makanan dan menganalisis peranan nilai tukar dalam menjelaskan fluktuasi IHK bahan makanan di Indonesia. Analisa ekonometri menggunakan vector error correction model, menunjukkan bahwa derajat pass-through terbesar terjadi pada kelompok indeks harga konsumen susu dan telor. Kontribusi nilai tukar hasil decomposition of forecasting error variance terbesar terjadi pada kelompok daging.

The weakening of the Rupiah against the US dollar has encouraged Bank Indonesia to issued Bank Indonesia Regulation (Peraturan Bank Indonesia - PBI) No. 17/3/2015. The research aimed to analyze the factors that affected the Rupiah exchange rate, the effect of PBI No. 17/3/2015 on the movement of the Rupiah exchange rate, and the behavior of exchange rate movement to the shocks on the variables that influenced it. The research applied secondary data, namely monthly data from January 2008 to April 2019 taken from reliable sources such as National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas), Bank Indonesia (BI), and Statistics Indonesia (BPS). It was explanatory research with a quantitative approach. The studied data were processed with the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) method to identify long and short-term effects. The results of the long-term equation show that export-import has a negative effect on the exchange rate. Similarly, inflation has no significant effect on the exchange rate. Then, the money supply has a significantly negative effect on the exchange rate. However, the interest rate of Bank Indonesia positively affects the exchange rate. Next, the implementation of PBI No. 17/3/2015 has a significant and positive impact on the exchange rate. Last, the crisis condition does not affect the changes in exchange rates.

This research aims to estimate the demand for money model in Indonesia for 2005.22015.12. The variables used in this research are demand for money, interest rate, inflation, and exchange rate (IDR/US$). The stationary test with ADF used to test unit root in the data. Cointegration test applied to estimate the long run relationship between variables. This research employed the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) to estimate the money demand model in Indonesia. The results showed that all the data was stationer at the difference level (1%). There were long run relationship between interest rate, inflation and exchange rate to demand for money in Indonesia. The VECM model could not explain interaction between explanatory variables to independent variables. In the short run, there were not relationship between interest rate, inflation and exchange rate to demand for money in Indonesia for 2005.2-2015.12.
