The data used is panel data with cross-sectional data from 4 of Indonesia's largest trading partners, namely the United States, Japan, Korea, Singapore and the time series data from the year 1967 to 2015. The result is that there is a long-term relationship between differences in productivity to the exchange rate deviation from PPP in Indonesia.
