Judul: Pengaruh Independensi Bank Sentral terhadap Inflasi: Peran Financial Development dan Kualitas Kelembagaan di ASEAN-5
Abstrak: Bank sentral bertanggung jawab atas stabilitas harga yang dapat dicapai dengan mengendalikan laju inflasi. Rendah atau tingginya laju inflasi dapat ditentukan oleh independensi bank sentral. Independensi bank sentral sendiri dapat dipengaruhi oleh beberapa faktor, diantaranya financial development dan kualitas kelembagaan. Rata-rata inflasi di ASEAN-5 masih bervariasi, hal ini disebabkan oleh negara dengan inflasi yang rendah dan stabil memiliki financial development dan kualitas kelembagaan yang tinggi dibandingkan negara dengan financial development dan kualitas kelembagaan yang rendah. Penelitian ini menganalisis pengaruh financial development dan kualitas kelembagaan terhadap independensi bank sentral untuk mencapai inflasi yang rendah dan stabil. Metode yang digunakan merupakan dua metode alternatif, yaitu G2SLS dan EC2SLS. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa kualitas kelembagaan signifikan berpengaruh secara langsung terhadap independensi bank sentral namun tidak secara langsung terhadap inflasi.

Judul: Dampak Keterbukaan Ekonomi terhadap Stabilitas Inflasi di Negara-negara ASEAN+6
Abstrak: Trade and financial openness, which are expected to improve the welfare of society, in principle does not only affect the output but also the price. This occurs because of the trade-off between economic growth and inflation. Some countries adopted Inflation Targeting Framework (ITF) policy to stabilize inflation, while others adopted exchange rate targeting or money targeting. The purpose of this study was to analyze the impact of openness, both trade and financial openness, on inflation stability in ASEAN+6 countries. By employing panel data analysis of the eleven countries in 2001-2010, this study found that trade openness worsens inflation stability, while financial openness increases inflation stability. The negative impact of trade openness is particularly accurs in ITF countries. The positive impact of financial openness occurs in a non-ITF countries, whereas the opposite accurs for the ITF countries. The positive impact of financial openness on inflation stability in developing countries is greater than the developed countries.
