PENGARUH VARIABEL EKONOMI DAN NON EKONOMI TERHADAP IMPOR INDONESIA DARI ASEAN+6 MELALUI MODA TRANSPORTASI LAUT

During 2007-2011, the Indonesia's imports from the ASEAN+6 countries were dominated by the raw materials. The factors that influence volumes of the Indonesia's imports, expecially which transported by sea transport mode, become the main topic of this research. The variables of the gravity model used in this research are economic variables, i.e. per capita GDP of ASEAN+6, Indonesia's per capita GDP, economic distance, and real exchange rate, as well as non-economic variables such as Indonesia's quality of sea port, political stability and government effectiveness. Estimation using the gravity model shows that the variables of Indonesia's per capita GDP and Indonesia's quality of sea ports significantly have positive influence on Indonesia's imports, while the variables of economic distance, real exchange rate, political stability and government effectiveness significantly have negative influence.
