This paper analyzes the impact of exchange rate fluctuation on the output and price in two different regimes. The model employed distinguishes four different sources of impacts on the output and price, namely the anticipated and the un-anticipated exchange rate movement, the aggregate demand and the aggregate supply shock.The result confirms the impact of the exchange rate regime switch on how the exchange rate influences the output. The net impact of Rupiah depreciation will expand the output, indicating the dominance of the aggregate the demand shock through the competitive advantage than the aggregate supply shock through import price effect.The regime switch also alters the effectiveness of the monetary and the fiscal policy on the output. The magnitude of monetary and fiscal policy is much larger than the exchange rate impact on output, both managed and free floating regime.Keywords: exchange rate, anticipated vs. unanticipated depreciation, supply vs. demand channels.JEL Classification: F41, F43, F31


Subject Monetary, fiscal and debt concerns. Significance After falling to nearly 16 pesos/dollar in early March, the exchange rate stabilised, mainly due to rising domestic interest rates, which climbed to a peak of 38.0%. Monetary tightening and the deepening of the economic downturn helped to bring down inflation, which is expected to reach a monthly rate of 1.5% in the last quarter. Lower interest rates and decreasing inflation are needed to drive an economic rebound, key to the government's prospects in October 2017 mid-term elections. Impacts Dollarisation of financial liabilities will leave the economy more vulnerable to negative external shocks. The economy may show further decline in third-quarter figures. Moderating inflation and monetary and fiscal policy support are expected to help turn growth positive in 2017.

The literature on global integration and national policy autonomy often ignores a central result from open economy macroeconomics: Capital mobility constrains monetary policy when the exchange rate is fixed and fiscal policy when the exchange rate is flexible. Similarly, examinations of the electoral determinants of monetary and fiscal policy typically ignore international pressures altogether. We develop a formal model to analyze the interaction between fiscal and monetary policymakers under various exchange rate regimes and the degrees of central bank independence. We test the model using data from OECD countries. We find evidence that preelectoral monetary expansions occur only when the exchange rate is flexible and central bank independence is low; preelectoral fiscal expansions occur when the exchange rate is fixed. We then explore the implications of our model for arguments that emphasize the partisan sources of macroeconomic policy and for the conduct of fiscal policy after economic and monetary union in Europe.
