Inflation in Germany from 1919 to 1923 resulted from the accumulation and the anticipation of government deficits. Inflationary expectations depended therefore on fiscal news. Allied demands for reparations, the occupation of the Ruhr, and domestic revolts were important negative news and led to increased inflation. Tax reforms and eventually the end to government deficits were important positive news and ushered in periods of price stability. Political events were fiscal news as they changed the chances for the government to balance the budget.

The Dominican Republic has enjoyed a prosperous decade with high growth, low inflation, a relatively strong external position and significant gains in poverty reduction. While the economy was strong, it was highly vulnerable to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic as tourism is one of the most important activities. As the pandemic advanced and travel restrictions intensified globally, the Dominican economy lost an important source of foreign exchange and employment. Weaker domestic activity is having a negative impact on tax receipts while the government needs to provide additional health services. This is creating budgetary pressures that will require additional financing. Similarly, as businesses struggle, their ability to service their credit lines would be diminished, putting a strain on the financial position of banks.

The problem of food sufficiency is a basic human need so that the availability of food for the people of Surabaya City must always be guaranteed. Law Number 7 of 1996 concerning Food, mandates that the government and the community are responsible for realizing Food Security. The Government organizes the regulation, guidance, control and supervision of sufficient food availability, both in quantity and quality and safety and nutritious, evenly distributed and affordable by the purchasing power of the people. The rate of increase in food demand is faster than the rate of increase in production capacity. Surabaya as a city of trade and services does not have sufficient agricultural land so that the supply of strategic commodities highly depends on supplies from outside the region which cause vulnerability to supply availability and price instability. Based on the description above, intensive monitoring of food price volatility in several markets and food wholesalers in the city of Surabaya is needed in order to maintain supply stability and price stability. One alternative to overcome the problems as above is with the development of the Supply Chain Management logistics city. In the long run according to the results that will be obtained in this study, it is expected to increase the role of PD. Pasar Surya in maintaining supply availability and price stability.

Abstract The government's policy on development in Indonesia is considered to be impartial in the agriculture sector, from observations, the portion of the budget each year is mostly channeled to other sectors, such as education, health, security and other routine expenditures such as salaries and operations, agriculture is considered very minimal, whereas more than half of the population in Indonesia works in the agricultural sector. The farmers are still complaining about infrastructure problems such as dams, irrigation, and farm roads. In addition, the quality of human resources working in the agricultural sector is still low, the price stability of production is uncertain so that at any time can harm the farmers, the survival of the survivors are allowed by the government when they have great service in encouraging development. The number of problems that occurred in the agricultural sector became the basis of this paper. This research is based on qualitative research, where researchers collect various data field and conduct a deep analysis of the data and on the problems that occur. The conclusion of this research is that government should direct development in agriculture sector so that people get welfare by making policies or regulations that favor the farmers by improving the quality of human resources in the agricultural sector, the availability of facilities and infrastructure, the guarantee of the price of agricultural products and the guarantee of survival farmers. Keywords: policy, government, development, agriculture Abstrak Kebijakan pemerintah dalam pembangunan di Indonesia dinilai belum memihak pada sektor pertanian, dari hasil pengamatan, porsi anggaran tiap tahunnya lebih banyak tersalurkan pada sektor-sektor yang lain, seperti pendidikan, kesehatan, keamanan maupun belanja rutin lainnya seperti gaji pegawai dan operasional, sedangkan untuk sektor pertanian dinilai sangat minim, padahal lebih dari setengah jumlah penduduk di Indonesia bekerja di sektor pertanian. Para petani masih banyak mengeluhkan masalah infrastruktur seperti bendungan, irigasi, maupun jalan tani, selain itu kualitas sumber daya manusia yang bekerja disektor pertanian masih rendah, stabilitas harga hasil produksi tidak menentu sehingga sewaktu-waktu dapat merugikan para petani, jaminan kelansungan hidup para petani dibiarkan begitu saja oleh pemerintah padahal mereka punya jasa besar dalam mendorong pembangunan. Banyaknya masalah yang terjadi disektor pertanian tersebut menjadi dasar dari tulisan ini. Penelitian ini didasarkan pada penelitian kualitatif, dimana peneliti mengumpulkan berbagai data dilapangan dan melakukan analisis yang mendalam terhadap data-data maupun pada persoalan-persoalan yang terjadi. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah pemerintah seharusnya mengarahkan pembangunan pada sektor pertanian sehingga masyarakat mendapatkan kesejahteraan dengan membuat kebijakan atau regulasi yang memihak kepada petani dengan cara peningkatan kualitas sumber daya manusia di sektor pertanian, ketersediaan sarana dan prasarana, jaminan harga hasil produksi pertanian dan jaminan kelangsungan hidup para petani. Kata kunci: kebijakan, pemerintah, pembagunan, pertanian

While I served in the White House, [as Assistant to the President for Domestic Affairs and Policy and Executive Director of the White House Domestic Policy Staff from 1977–81], Ph.D. economists occupied the positions of Secretary of Labor, Secretary of Commerce, Secretary of Treasury, Director of the Council on Wage and Price Stability, the President's anti-inflation adviser, Chairman and Council Members of the Council of Economic Advisers, and many other senior positions throughout the government. Yet we presided over an economy with double-digit inflation and interest rates and a recession. Presidents of the United States and their White House Staff members expect economists to be omniscient prophets of the future course of the economy, unerring economic policy advisers, and teachers of the mysterious science of economics to often distracted pupils. They expect their economists to provide an economic blueprint for high growth, low inflation, and a guaranteed re-election—but without offending any important constituencies. What is the appropriate role for economists in the White House? What can they realistically be expected to do?

The poverty reduction rate in Java was considered very low, thus requiring new strategies and policies, such as the improvement of internet accessibility. This study, using the 2018 National Socio-Economic Survey (SUSENAS) data, aimed to examine the role of internet accessibility to reduce poverty rates in Java through a spatial approach. The results showed that internet accessibility had a significant effect on the reduction of poverty rates in Java. It also found that the poverty rates in an area in Java were influenced by the types of works of household heads in the same location and the poverty rates in neighboring areas (spatial spillover effects). This study recommended that the Government, in reducing poverty rates, focuses on providing internet infrastructure and, more, on spatial aspects.

Beef import to Indonesia always gets pros and cons. The government argue that we need it to reduce the high price of beef due to the scarcity. On the other hand, Indonesia is an agrarian country with a lot of cattle farms. We should be able to meet the needs of beef from domestic production without import. The aim of this study is to get the best model for household consumption of beef at the district level, and use the model to estimate the import needs. This study uses data from Statistics Indonesia, both the raw data of National Sosio-economic Survey (SUSENAS) and beef production in district level. The methods of analysis is a robust regression model. The results is robust regression fit the data well. For households need, estimation of household consumption of beef is lower than domestic production. So that, Indonesia does not need to import beef for household need.
