This paper examines the long-run monetary neutrality in Indonesia, mainly using annual time-series during 1970-2007. It uses Fisher-Seater methodology to analyze the research problems. Particular attention is given to integration, exogeneity, and cointegration properties of the money stock and real output. Unit-root, causality, and cointegration tests are used to identify these properties. The empirical results provide evidence to reject the long-run neutrality of money (both M1 and M2) with respect to real GDP, showing that it is inconsistent with the classical and neoclassical economics. In particular, government injections of money have long-run positive effect on real output in macroeconomy.

The taxes that are a priority for optimizing efforts as a source of local tax revenue in Tegal City are: street lighting tax; the fee for the acquisition of land and building rights (FALBR); land and building tax; and restaurant tax. Based on analysis via the Klassen Typology, the performance of street lighting tax, FALBR, and land and building tax revenues must be maintained, with an increase in the complete and updated potential database and tax collection efficiency due to their high contributions. Meanwhile, restaurant tax is a tax that has been increased and is growing rapidly, and still allows for further enhancement. Although they contribute relatively little, entertainment tax, hotel tax, and parking tax also have great potential, and can be increased further because they have high growth beyond that of local tax revenue.
This research is a survey study of 53 coconut sugar craftsmen in Batuanten Village, Cilongok District, Banyumas Regency. Batuanten village was chosen as the research location because the number of coconut sugar craftsmen there is at the most among 20 villages in Cilongok District. The objective of this study is to analyze income, costs and income distribution using method of analysis by calculating total income (TR = P x Q), total costs (TC = FV + VC), net income (Y = TR - TC) and calculating the Gini Index (GI)This analysis resulted: 1) overall, coconut sugar produced by respondents per month is 6,790.15 kg, the average respondent produces 128.12 kg. The selling price of sugar is between Rp11,000 to Rp18,000. The total income of respondents is Rp100,570,000 with an average of Rp1,897,547; 2) the total cost of production is Rp22,997,759 per month with an average of Rp433,920. The costs consist of total fixed costs (FC) of Rp3,364,425 with an average of Rp63,480 and total variable costs (VC) of Rp19,633,333, with an average of Rp370,440; 3) the total net income is Rp77,572,241 with an average of Rp1,463,627 which is still below the minimum wage for Banyumas Regency, i.e. Rp1,970,000; 4) The GI of the craftsmen is 0.22, indicating that the income distribution among the craftsmen is spread evenly.The overall implication is that the economic condition of coconut sugar craftsmen still does not meet the necessity of a decent living equal to the minimum wage. In order to increase the income of craftsmen, it is necessary to equalize selling prices that are profitable for craftsmen and doing side businesses, therefore the participation of the government is needed in order to improve production skills and the spirit of entrepreneurship for the family members of craftsmen.Keywords: Coconut sugar; Gini Index; Regional Minimum Wage; Decent Living Necessities; Entrepreneurship.
