Judul: Analisis Exchange Rate Pass-Through, Fear of Floating, dan Implementasi Inflation Targeting Framework
Abstrak: Penelitian ini menganalisis exchange rate pass-through dan perilaku fear of floating pada 18 negara yang mengadopsi inflation targeting framework. Metode Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) digunakan untuk: (1) Melihat efek depresiasi nilai tukar terhadap inflasi (passthrough) melalui analisis impulse response function; dan juga (2) memeriksa adanya indikasi perilaku fear of floating melalui analisis forecast error variance decomposition. Sebagian besar nilai passthrough menurun setelah penerapan ITF. Kelompok high income countries rata-rata memiliki nilai passthrough yang lebih rendah dibanding kelompok middle income countries. Selain itu, terjadi penurunan yang cukup drastis pada intervensi nilai tukar oleh bank sentral setelah penerapan ITF. Masih adanya efek passthrough membuat intervensi nilai tukar masih biasa dilakukan dan tidak selalu mengindikasikan adanya perilaku fear of floating karena juga bertujuan untuk kontrol terhadap inflasi. Pada negara berkembang, seringnya intervensi terhadap nilai tukar yang dilakukan membuat penerapan ITF sebagai kerangka kebijakan moneter perlu ditinjau ulang yang mana mensyaratkan tidak adanya nominal anchor lain selain inflas

Judul: Exchange Rate Pass-Through Untuk Harga Domestik: Kasus Indonesia
Abstrak: Dalam penelitian ini, penulis menggunakan model VECM data bulanan dari Januari 2004 sampai dengan Desember 2013. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa: 1. Pergerakan Exchange Rate memiliki efek moderat pada inflasi harga domestik 2. Exchange Rate Pass-through lebih parah terjadi di PPI dibandingkan dengan CPI karena pangsa yang lebih tinggi diperdagangkan di PPI relatif terhadap CPI 3. Dampak Pass-through pada harga domestik menyebar lebih dari 12 bulan, namun efeknya akan lebih parah dalam tiga bulan pertama untuk PPI dan setelah empat bulan pertama untuk CPI seperti yang ditunjukkan oleh koefisien Pass-through 4. Pertukaran Pass-through untuk harga konsumen semakin meningkat setelah fenomena Dinamika Sistem Keuangan Global pada bulan Maret 2009 dimana terjadi depresiasi Rupiah. Exchange Rate Pass-through yang rendah untuk harga domestik, memiliki implikasi bagi pelaksanaan kebijakan moneter, yaitu memberikan kebebasan yang lebih besar untuk mengejar kebijakan moneter yang independen khususnya melalui penargetan inflasi rezim.

Judul: Systematics of Desmos (Annonaceae) in Malesia
Abstrak: Desmos is a woody climbing genus of Annonaceae which has been widely used as traditional medicine in several countries such as China, Indo-China, Thailand, and Peninsular Malaysia to treat dysentery, vertigo, fever, and postpartum. Phylogenetic studies on Desmos showed a close relationship between Desmos and Dasymaschalon. They share similar moniliform monocarpic fruits, but their flowers are different. It has been debated among Annonaceae researchers whether both genera should be treated as the same or distinct genus. Therefore, investigation on the taxonomic delimitation of Desmos species and Dasymaschalon will be necessary. Plastid genome (plastome) identification, leaf epidermal section of Desmos species and Dasymaschalon species, a taxonomic revision of Desmos in Malesia using morphological data, the spatial distribution of Desmos species in Malesia, and morphological and genetic variation in Desmos chinensis population using ISSR marker were used to investigate taxonomic delimitation of Desmos. Plastome study of Desmos chinensis and Dasymaschalon dasymaschalum was carried out to determine the origin, evolution, phylogenomics, and identify marker candidates for Desmos and Dasymaschalon or with other genera in Annonaceae. We discovered that the plastome of Desmos chinensis was circular with the size of 167,677 bp (smaller than Dasymaschalon dasymaschalum), consist of 111 genes, including 78 protein-coding genes, 29 transfer RNAs, and 4 ribosomal RNAs. The plastome showed a typical quadripartite structure, i.e., large single copy (LSC), small single copy (SSC), and two inverted repeats (IRs). The plastome of Dasymaschalon dasymaschalum was 191,488 bp in length, which also exhibited a typical quadripartite structure (LSC, SSC, and two IRs). Desmos chinensis and Dasymaschalon dasymaschalum showed different copies of accD, ndhD, ndhF, rps18, and ycf2. Protein coding genes of rpoB, rpoC1, rbcL, matK, rpl32, infA, and rpl36 were identified based on nucleotide diversity, sequence variability, and parsimony-informative sites. The genes are defined as molecular marker candidates of plastome for phylogenetic, barcoding, and population genetic research. We predicted that Desmos chinensis and Dasymaschalon dasymaschalum separated at ca. 64 million years ago during the Paleocene. Leaf anatomical feature study was carried to support the taxonomic delimitation of interspecific Desmos and intergeneric of Desmos and Dasymaschalon. Leaf anatomy in the paradermal section of 20 taxa (12 species of Desmos, eight species of Dasymaschalon) have been carried out. According to the leaf epidermal section, Desmos and Dasymaschalon are two distinct genera mainly distinguished based on the anticlinal wall undulation of epidermal cells and supported by variation of the crystal type and size. The anticlinal wall undulation of Desmos was almost straight to slightly wavy and never sinuous; meanwhile, Dasymaschalon varies from almost straight to deeply sinusoid. The crystals of Desmos consist of rhombohedral, druse type A, and druse type B crystals, whereas Dasymaschalon has prism, druse type A, druse type B, and druse type C crystals. The recent taxonomic revision using the morphological data was mainly based on the examination of about 1374 specimens from BO, L, WAN, ANDA, SING, SAN, K, P, HUH herbaria. The Desmos species in Malesia consists of eight species: D. acutus, D. chinensis, D. chryseus, D. dunalii, D. pedunculosus, D. subbiglandulosus, two new records: D. lawii and D. macrocarpus, and one
