Abstract: In this paper, the sources of the Indonesian economic slowdown as well as US economic fluctuations are investigated within a range of four-variable structural vector autoregression models. Identification is attained either through the combination of short-run and long-run restrictions or the more recent sign restrictions. The results show that both economies are not affected by disturbances in the same way. Indonesian economic output is lowered by falling contribution of oil price shocks, negative aggregate supply shocks and tightening monetary policy. Meanwhile, the US economy is mainly driven by aggregate supply shocks. The effect of oil price disturbance to the US itself declines over time and the monetary policy shocks no longer hurt the US economy.
