How responsive are Indonesia's bilateral inpayments and outpayments to real depreciation of Rupiah?

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the sensitivity of Indonesia's inpayments and outpayments to currency depreciation on a bilateral basis. Design/methodology/approach – The methodology used is based on the bounds testing approach. Findings – It is found that while real depreciation of Rupiah has short‐run effects in a majority of the cases, these effects last into the long‐term in almost 50 percent of the cases. Surprisingly, almost all of the affected partners in the long run are found to be the Asian countries. Originality/value – The paper is very original in that no one has looked at this issue before.
