ABSTRACT
This study analyzes the relationship between changes in Indonesia rsquo s exchange rate to interest rate differential between Indonesia as an investment currency country and funding currencies countries and the level of international investor risk aversion using the volatility index VIX threshold model for carry trade collapse The focus study is on carry trades based on the YEN IDR USD IDR and EUR IDR currency pairs over the period 01 August 2005 to 18 September 2015 The results indicate that the VIX threshold of carry trades unwinding for USD IDR and EUR IDR is lower than YEN IDR However during the financial crisis in 2008 YEN IDR carry trades become more sensitive showed by the decreasing VIX threshold value Another finding is the interest rate differential and volatility index which reflects the market uncertainty are important factors for investors This implies that the higher gap between Indonesia rsquo s interest rates and funding currencies interest rates will give the positive return in carry trade activities In addition the higher degree of market uncertainty leads the investors to unwind the carry trade ;This study analyzes the relationship between
