Path analysis can test the direct and indirect effect of the variables studied and simultaneously identify the role of the intervening variables. Data used in this study include government budget deficit (<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">BD<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">) as the exogenous variable, interest rate (<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">IR<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">) and domestic exchange rate (<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">FER<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">) as the endogenous intervening variables, and deficit on the current account of balance of payment (<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">DBOP<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">) as the endogenous variable. This study found no direct effect between <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">BD <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">and <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">DBOP<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">. The finding indicates that an increase in budget deficit may not necessarily lead to an increase in current account deficits, and therefore do not prove twin deficits in Indonesia. Therefore, Mundell-Fleming\u2019s theory in Indonesia is not applicable because the role of intervening variables (<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">IR <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">and <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">FER<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">) in mediating twin deficits is relatively weak.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","tags":[697,551,696],"jel-code":[],"article-type":[1329],"class_list":["entry","author-jem","post-4368","article","type-article","status-publish","tag-intervening-variables","tag-path-analysis","tag-twin-deficits","article-type-normal-article"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/jem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article\/4368","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/jem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/jem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/article"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/jem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article\/4368\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4377,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/jem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article\/4368\/revisions\/4377"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/jem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4368"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/jem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4368"},{"taxonomy":"jel-code","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/jem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/jel-code?post=4368"},{"taxonomy":"article-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/jem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article-type?post=4368"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
