Analisis Triwulanan: Perkembangan Moneter, Perbankan, Dan Sistem Pembayaran, Triwulan Iv – 2005, Tim Penulis Laporan Triwulanan Bank Indonesia

Bulletin of Monetary Economics and Banking

Secara umum, perekonomian Indonesia pada triwulan IV – 2005 masih mengalami perlambatan dengan pertumbuhan ekonomi yang lebih rendah dari perkiraan semula. Menurunnya daya beli riil masyarakat akibat inflasi yang melonjak tinggi menyebabkan pertumbuhan konsumsi melambat. Investasi juga tumbuh lebih lambat seiring dengan melemahnya konsumsi, meningkatnya biaya produksi, dan belum tuntasnya berbagai peraturan di bidang investasi dan pembangunan infrastruktur. Secara keseluruhan tahun pertumbuhan ekonomi diperkirakan akan mencapai 5,3% - 5,6% sedikit di atas pertumbuhan tahun lalu sebesar 5,13%. Seiring dengan perlambatan kegiatan ekonomi, impor mengalami penurunan sehingga surplus neraca transaksi berjalan mengalami kenaikan. Neraca modal juga mengalami surplus yang terutama berasal …

Estimasi Nilai Tukar Rupiah Pasca-Krisis: Pendekatan Model Komposit, Jardine Ariena Husman Dec 2005

Estimasi Nilai Tukar Rupiah Pasca-Krisis: Pendekatan Model Komposit, Jardine Ariena Husman

Bulletin of Monetary Economics and Banking

This paper examines the factors that determined the Indonesian rupiah against US dollar nominal exchange rate post crisis period. The effect of the oil prices and the interaction of supply and demand in the foreign exchange market are included as part of explanatory variables besides other fundamentals, using an Error Correction Model (ECM). The use of composite model that incorporates a number of familiar approaches in exchange rate determination is found to outperform the model based on one single approach in term of their forecast performance. The estimation results show that the increase in oil price will depreciate the rupiah …

The Influence Of Quantization Process On The Performance Of Global Entropic Thresholding Algorithms Using Electrical Capacitance Tomography Data, A. J. Mwambela Dec 2005

The Influence Of Quantization Process On The Performance Of Global Entropic Thresholding Algorithms Using Electrical Capacitance Tomography Data, A. J. Mwambela

Tanzania Journal of Science

In measuring component fraction in multiphase flows using tomographic techniques, it is desirable to use a high speed tomography system capable of generating 100 tomograms per second. The electrical capacitance tomography system in this regard is considered to be the best among the available tomographic techniques. However, due to its inherent limitations the system generates distorted reconstructed tomograms necessitating the use of extra signal processing techniques such as thresholding to minimize these distortions. Whilst thresholding technique has been effective in minimizing distortions, the additional computation associated with the process limits the speed of tomogram generation desired from the system. Further, …

Petrography And Mineral Chemistry Of The Pelitic And Semi-Pelitic Gneisses Of The Merelani Tanzanite Mining Area, Northeastern Tanzania, E. P. Malisa Dec 2005

Petrography And Mineral Chemistry Of The Pelitic And Semi-Pelitic Gneisses Of The Merelani Tanzanite Mining Area, Northeastern Tanzania, E. P. Malisa

Tanzania Journal of Science

Sillimanite/kyanite + K-feldspar + quartz ± garnet + biotite ± Fe-Ti oxide-bearing rocks occur associated with calc-silicate rocks in the Merelani tanzanite mining area north-eastern Tanzania. The whole rock chemistry shows varying rock oxidation ratios, which are reflected in the mineralogical assemblages. Almandine garnet is oxidized to mixtures of hematite, quartz, and hydrous aluminosilicates in oxidized rocks and is absent in highly oxidized rocks. In the latter, ilmenite is oxidized into mixtures of rutile and hematite. Such relatively high temperature alteration/oxidation effects could have occurred with the influx of water. Absence of staurolite in these aluminium-rich rocks is indicative of …

Nilai Tukar Dan Trade Flows, Siti Astiyah, M. Setyawan Santoso Dec 2005

Nilai Tukar Dan Trade Flows, Siti Astiyah, M. Setyawan Santoso

Bulletin of Monetary Economics and Banking

The paper is testing the Marshal-Lernercondition and the J-Curvephenomenon on the Indonesian trade. We apply the panel regression model and anlyze the impact of the real depreciation of Rupiah on the trade performance, both in the short run and in the long run.The study indicates the insignificant of the Rupiah real depreciation to boost the export performance in the short run. When the time horizon is long enough, the increase of the export caused by the depreciation, will offset the increase of the import, hence in the long run the real depreciation of Rupiah may significantly increase the trade performance, …

Changing Perspectives On Exchange Rates: Theory And Policy Implications, Perry Warjiyo Dec 2005

Changing Perspectives On Exchange Rates: Theory And Policy Implications, Perry Warjiyo

Bulletin of Monetary Economics and Banking

This paper reviews theoretical and empirical perspectives pertaining to the nature and impacts of exchange rate movements on macroeconomic conditions, and their fundamental ramifications on macroeconomic and monetary policies. In particular, we show that, with increasing speed and scope of financial globalization and cross-border capital flows, the view on exchange rate has been changing from trade flows to financial asset views. Exchange rate movements have been exhibiting greater volatility beyond fundamentals and often deviate from equilibrium, driven by factors such as shifts in risk premia, investor preferences, as well as underlying economic and financial conditions. Policy implications from such a …

The Study On M&A In Today's China Shipping Industry, Yichun Cao Dec 2005

The Study On M&A In Today's China Shipping Industry, Yichun Cao

World Maritime University Dissertations

In 2005, although there came along another wave of M&A activities in global shipping industry, we haven’t seen any sign of the emergence of large-scale M&As in China shipping industry so far. It’s quite unfavorable to the future development of whole China shipping sector. Besides, most Chinese shipping companies show no interest in, and even resist carrying out such economic event. However, the reasons behind the problem are various and intricate. The unique China macroenvironment and different kinds of deficiencies in Chinese shipping enterprises really hinder the appearance of mass M&A activities in China shipping industry. Here the macroenvironment includes …

Intelligent Resource Discovery Using Ontology-Based Resource Profiles, J. Steven Hughes, Dan Crichton, Sean Kelly, Chris A. Mattmann, Jerry Crichton, Thuy Tran Dec 2005

Intelligent Resource Discovery Using Ontology-Based Resource Profiles, J. Steven Hughes, Dan Crichton, Sean Kelly, Chris A. Mattmann, Jerry Crichton, Thuy Tran

Copyright, Fair Use, Scholarly Communication, etc.

Successful resource discovery across heterogeneous repositories is highly dependent on the semantic and syntactic homogeneity of the associated resource descriptions in each repository. Ideally, consistent resource descriptions are easily extracted from each repository, expressed using standard syntactic and semantic structures, and managed and accessed within a distributed, flexible, and scalable software framework. In practice however, seldom do all three of these elements exist. To help address this situation, the Object Oriented Data Technology (OODT) project at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory has developed an extensible, standards-based resource description scheme that provides the necessary description and management facilities for the discovery of …

The Exit Structure Of Venture Capital, D. Gordon Smith Dec 2005

The Exit Structure Of Venture Capital, D. Gordon Smith

Faculty Scholarship

Venture capital contracts contain extensive provisions regulating exit by the venture capitalists. In this Article, Professor Smith employs financial contracting theory in conjunction with original data collected from 367 venture-backed companies to analyze these exit provisions. He concludes that the combination of exit provisions in a typical venture capital relationship serves to lock venture capitalists into the investment during the initial stage. In later stages of the relationship, the venture capitalists acquire increasing control over exit by securing additional seats on the board of directors and by obtaining contractual exit rights. The result is a sophisticated transfer of control from …

Combatant Status: It Is Time For Intermediate Levels Of Recognition For Partial Compliance, Eric Talbot Jensen Dec 2005

Combatant Status: It Is Time For Intermediate Levels Of Recognition For Partial Compliance, Eric Talbot Jensen

Faculty Scholarship

Under current international law, combatant status is an all-or-nothing proposition. Either a fighting force qualifies under all the criteria of article 4 of the GPW and receives all the privileges and immunities of combatant status, or a force does not qualify, and is provided no protection above that of any other civilian in the area, and may even be disqualified from the protections afforded to civilians. Given the reality of today's battlefields where the conflict is seldom between the armed forces of two nations, these requirements are counterproductive and provide a disincentive for fighters to distinguish themselves from the civilian …

Semiparametric Approaches For Joint Modeling Of Longitudinal And Survival Data With Time Varying Coefficients, Xiao Song, C.Y. Wang Dec 2005

Semiparametric Approaches For Joint Modeling Of Longitudinal And Survival Data With Time Varying Coefficients, Xiao Song, C.Y. Wang

UW Biostatistics Working Paper Series

We study joint modeling of survival and longitudinal data. There are two regression models of interest. The primary model is for survival outcomes, which are assumed to follow a time varying coefficient proportional hazards model. The second model is for longitudinal data, which are assumed to follow a random effects model. Based on the trajectory of a subject's longitudinal data, some covariates in the survival model are functions of the unobserved random effects. Estimated random effects are generally different from the unobserved random effects and hence this leads to covariate measurement error. To deal with covariate measurement error, we propose …

Almost Split Morphisms, Preprojective Algebras And Multiplication Maps Of Maximal Rank, Steven P. Diaz, Mark Kleiner Dec 2005

Almost Split Morphisms, Preprojective Algebras And Multiplication Maps Of Maximal Rank, Steven P. Diaz, Mark Kleiner

Mathematics - All Scholarship

With a grading previously introduced by the second-named author, the multiplication maps in the preprojective algebra satisfy a maximal rank property that is similar to the maximal rank property proven by Hochster and Laksov for the multiplication maps in the commutative polynomial ring. The result follows from a more general theorem about the maximal rank property of a minimal almost split morphism, which also yields a quadratic inequality for the dimensions of indecomposable modules involved.
