One of some problematic issues of identification of the effectiveness of the monetary policy is the question on whether the monetary policy mechanism transmissions can perform fully in transmitting the changes of monetary policies into the national and regional level of economy. On earlier studies, Muelgini (2004) relatively compares the effectiveness of monetary policies of the jive mechanism transmission channels at the national level of the economy employing impulse response function. The results show that prior to the economic crises in Indonesia credit channel is not ejective, and for after crises periods' interest rates, credit and asset price channels are becoming relatively important. Utilizing similar methodology Laksono (2005) finds that the effectiveness of monetary mechanism varies among regions. This research analyzes the findings of both Muelgini's and Laksono's employing different methodology to evaluate the channels through which monetary policies are transmitted.

One of some problematic issues of identification of the efiectiveness of the monetary policy is the question on whether the monetary policy mechanism transmissions can perform fully in transmitting the changes of monetary policies into the national and regional level of economy. On earlier studies, Muelgini (2004) relatively compares the eflectiveness of monetary policies of the five mechanism transmission channels at the national level of the economy employing impulse response fiznction. The results show that prior to the economic crises in Indonesia credit channel is not eflective, and for after crises periods interest rates, credit, and asset price channels are becoming relatively important.

The main purpose of this study is to identify determinant factors of regional inflation in the decentralized Indonesia. Inflation nowadays may spread widerly and more difficult to handle than in the past. This condition has created difficulties for the central bank to maintain targeted inflation. The study employs field surveys and econometric tools. The field surveys are conducted in six cities--Medan, Semarang, Surakarta, Palu, Banjarmasin, and Pontianak. It is found from the cross tabulation that regional inflation is significantly affected by the infrastructure condition in the corresponding regions. Aside from the infrastructure condition, the logistic analysis concludes that regional inflation is also affected by local regulations. However, infrastructure still has a larger effect on inflation. The econometric methodology use unit root and Engle-Granger cointegration tests to prove whether the purchasing power parity among regions holds. It is found that purchasing power parity does not hold for all regions. Another tool is the variance decomposition?it is used to determine whether regional inflation is dominantly monetary or non-monetary factors. This study found that non-monetary factors are main contributors to regional inflation. Pooled data estimation with fixed effect shows that inflation is significantly influenced by non-monetary factors--the growths of local government revenues, routine expenditures, and local transportation costs. Local government routine expenditures have the largest elasticity on inflation.
