Tesis ini menganalisis dampak goncangan perekonomian dunia (external shock) terhadap indikator makroekonomi Indonesia (output, inflasi dan nilai tukar riil efektif) serta analisis atas efektivitas kebijakan moneter Bank Indonesia melalui penerapan suku bunga (BI Rate) menggunakan model Structural VAR yang dikembangkan oleh Eric Parrado (2001). Penulisan tesis ini terutama dilatarbelakangi oleh dampak kenaikan harga minyak dunia dan krisis finansial global 2008. Menggunakan data time series bulanan yang terdiri dari variabel domestik (output, tingkat harga, suku bunga domestik, jumlah uang beredar dan nilai tukar riil efektif) serta variabel dunia (harga minyak dunia dan suku bunga dunia) dengan rentang periode observasi 2004:12 sampai 2009:12.
Hasil IRF dan FEVD menunjukkan bahwa external shock harga minyak dunia memiliki pengaruh yang signifikan dan langsung terhadap variabel nilai tukar riil efektif yang ditransmisikan melalui jalur transmisi nilai tukar (exchange rate channel) serta shock suku bunga dunia mempengaruhi peningkatan suku bunga domestik. Kebijakan moneter yang ditempuh Bank Indonesia masih cukup efektif untuk mempengaruhi tingkat harga, memperkuat nilai tukar dan juga memperhatikan pencapaian pertumbuhan ekonomi. Analisis monetary condition index (MCI) mengindikasikan bahwa stance kebijakan moneter Bank Indonesia selama periode 2005:7-2009:12 dapat dikatakan secara umum adalah tepat.
