Inflation

In simple inflation is defined as the increase in general prices and continuously. The increase in the price of one or two items alone can not be called except when rising inflation was widespread (or the resulting price increase) on other goods. The opposite of inflation is called deflation.

Indicators are often used to measure the rate of inflation is the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Changes in the CPI from time to time showing the price movement of a package of goods and services consumed by society. Since July 2008, the package of goods and services in the CPI basket has been done on the basis of Cost of Living Survey (SBH) in 2007 conducted by the Central Statistics Agency (BPS). Then, the BPS will monitor the price development of goods and services on a monthly basis in several cities, in traditional and modern markets for some types of goods / services in each city.
Other inflation indicators based on international best practice include:
Wholesale Price Index (WPI). Wholesale Price of a commodity is the price of the transaction between the seller / merchant the first major with a buyer / trader next big market in large numbers at the first of a commodity. [More detailed explanation about the WPI can be viewed at the web site www.bps.go.id Statistics]
Gross Domestic Product Deflator (GDP) price level measurements describe goods (final goods) and services produced within an economy (country). GDP deflator is produced by dividing nominal GDP at current prices by GDP at constant prices.

1.       Food Group
2.       Food Groups So, Beverage, and Tobacco

Best coffee bean

Best coffee beans should select what kind?
coffee beans
Many people confuse the choice about what kind of coffee should they choose. Maybe you've heard questions like these: "Where better yes, robusta, arabica or the other huh?" I think the answer is "it depends". Depending on this point: which one is better is determined by the user.
Before we discuss further, it's good I have to say about the types of coffee available. Actually there are more than 60 species of coffee. Among these species, only 2 developed a large scale for consumption of coffee connoisseurs. Both types are Arabica and Robusta. Both have typical, distinct taste and aroma.
Each type (both Arabica and Robusta) will have the taste and aroma are quite varied, if coming from different places. For example: the taste and aroma of arabica coffee of Java will be different with arabica coffee lampung or flores.
Here are the hallmark of Arabica coffee in general:
- Having a distinctive sour taste. How sour taste will be quite varied between types of arabica with each other.
- Has a distinctive aroma and delicious.
- It's bitter and mantab
- Levels of 50% less caffeine than Robusta coffee
Here are the hallmark of Robusta coffee in general:
- Having a distinctive sour taste. There are no sour taste at all.
- Having a sweet scent.
- It's mild / gentle
- Levels 2 times more caffeine than Arabica coffee
So, which one should you choose?
To dish that uses milk, cream, coconut milk, or other material that feels delicious (as do the majority of the menu at the Coffee House) should you use Arabica coffee.
For a simple dish of coffee that does not use the material above, for example: just mix the sugar, honey, cinnamon, or similar material, you can adjust to taste. It's up to you, would select Arabica or Robusta. But for a unique taste, you should use the Java product Maxima Perfect Blend. This product contains a secret blend of different types of coffee (not just the common type of coffee that you encounter). The taste and aroma is really suitable for serving black coffee (black coffee) and instant coffee.
To diet / lose weight, you can consume Robusta coffee prior to exercise. High caffeine will help you burn calories better.
To accompany work overtime or to ward off fatigue and drowsiness, you can consume coffee Robusta.

whole coffee beans

 Once roasted, coffee has a short shelf life. In as little as two weeks the coffee loses much of its flavor and may develop a stale taste. Whole Coffee beans store better than ground coffee because the oil in the beans has not yet been exposed to air, which causes the oil and the flavor to evaporate. Purchasing whole beans and grinding them as needed for each brewing ensures that each cup taste its best, but the roasted beans require proper storage so they retain their flavor for as long as possible.


Difficulty:
Easy

Instructions


things you'll need:

  • Glass storage jar

    • 1
      Open the package the roasted beans came in. Nearly any type of bag allows moisture and air to leach in to some extent. Pour the beans into a glass storage container with a rubber-ring seal.
    • 2
      Place the lid on the container and check that the rubber ring is lined up between the lid and the jar correctly. Fasten the lid in place.
    • 3
      Place the container in a dark, dry area, such as a pantry. Alternately, store the coffee in the freezer.
    • 4
      Each day, remove only as many coffee beans that you plan to grind and use. Take care not to introduce any moisture to the jar. Secure the lid properly in place before returning the coffee to storage.

Tips & Warnings

  • Store ground coffee the same way, but be aware it should be used within a week.
  • Substitute an airtight plastic container for the glass jar if necessary, though the beans do not retain their flavor as well when stored in plastic.
  • Most whole bean coffees lose their flavor and aroma within a month. Only buy as much as you can reasonably use within a one- to two-week period.

Theory of (the) Second Best in the ASEAN-India Free Trade Area (AIFTA)

Economic integration is a response from the Theory of (the) Second Best from Canadian economist who coined by economist Richard Lipsey and Kelvin Lancaster Australia-America in 1956. This theory states that ideally the world economy is free trade where there is free competition and there are no barriers to trade (trade barriers). Economic integration into the second best choice (second best option) because in practice in this world is very difficult to eliminate trade barriers.

This theory assumes that in the current economic market failure in certain sectors, which caused low levels of efficiency in the sector and while in other sectors may have reached an efficient level, it is expected the economy would be better to merge the two markets different and will eliminate another level of inefficiency of the other market. Merger process is known as economic integration.

The concept of competitiveness as a comparative advantage introduced by the theory of comparative advantage by David Ricardo in 1817 through his book On the Principles of Political Economy and Taxation, known as the Ricardian model. However, comparative advantage was first expressed by Robert Torrens in 1815 in an essay published in the Corn Laws.

Measurement of the competitiveness of the most popular use is Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA), which measures the comparative advantage. Balassa (1965) uses to measure a country's comparative advantage dengaan compile an index known as the Balassa Index. This index identifies whether a country has a comparative advantage that can be shown but not to determine the origin of its comparative advantage. This definition has undergone revision and modification so that the use of RCA as a measurement of comparative advantage vary as at the global level, sub-global/regional or bilateral between two countries as trading partners.

A study by the Fiscal Policy Board concluded that given the similarities in products which have export competitiveness, the trade policy related to exports and imports such as import duties and export taxes can affect competitiveness. Second, for items that are included in a group of products where a country's export and import, there are two possible impacts of trade AIFTA creation or trade diversion. This impact is dependent on changes in relative prices of products exported or imported by any scheme of tariff reduction or elimination AIFTA. On the product in the group that does have a very high competitiveness, then to maintain or improve competitiveness, then that can be done is product differentiation. Third, in each of the ten export products of Indonesia, India and ASEAN, with the highest competitiveness in the period 2000-2009, not seen consistency in the position of the competitiveness of products that do not show the export product specialization. And lastly, the comparison between India's exports to Indonesia with ASEAN showed differences in export market in India and ASEAN, while India's exports to ASEAN and ASEAN in addition to Indonesia is relatively the same. Indirectly, this export market differences indicate differences in access to productive resources and technology between Indonesia and the ASEAN as a whole.

Based on the above conclusion, we recommend:
1. Policies related to import duties need to consider their impact on the level of competitiveness of export products.
2. With the factors that influence and determine the level of competitiveness of export products, the trade policy on products that already have competitiveness should focus on efforts to maintain or improve competitiveness through product differentiation.
3. With the factors that influence and determine the level of competitiveness of export products, the trade policy on products that do not have competitiveness should focus on product differentiation. Within the framework AIFTA, then the scheme reduction and elimination of import duties aimed at trade strategy creation.
