Presentasi saya di acara ILUNI FEUI mengenai pentingnya institusi. Cerita Odysseus yang mengikat diri di tiang kapal untuk menahan diri dari godaan Sirene.

Institusi adalah tali yang mengikat kita pada tiang kapal: ikatan yang dipasang sebuah bangsa pada dirinya sendiri ketika akalnya masih jernih, karena ia tahu suatu hari kejernihan itu bisa memudar. Ketika itulah Sirene mulai bernyanyi: mencetak uang untuk membiayai pemborosan, melonggarkan pagar demi hasil yang segera.

Odysseus mengikat dirinya karena ia tahu ia bukan malaikat. James Madison menulis, “If men were angels, no government would be necessary.” Institusi lahir bukan karena manusia selalu bijak, melainkan karena kita tahu suatu hari kita bisa khilaf atau sewenang-wenang.

Ringkasan hasil research nya lihat artikel saya di Kompas untuk edisi Kemerdekaan @hariankompas

Untuk mahasiawa ekonomi. Ada banyak pertanyaan ke saya tentang ratio Debt/GDP vs Debt Service Ratio (DSR)/ Revenue
Mengapa indkator DSR/Revenue lebih relevan dibanding Debt/GDP.

Dalam bahan kuliah ini saya tunjukkan walau Debt/GDP sama, tapi jika DSR/Revenue lebih tinggi maka ruang fiskal atau fiscal space yg tersedia bisa lebih rendah.

Maaf ini memang bahan kuliah jadi sangat teknis. Buat non ekonom, intinya: walau dg rasio utang/PDB yang sama, kalau DSR/Revenue tinggi krn bunga dan cicilan utang yg tinggi atau Tax/PDB yg rendah, maka fiscal space akan lebih kecil. Itu sebabnya DSR/Revenue lebih penting dari Rasio utang/PDB karena pertanyaan paling pentinh adalah berapa besar ruang fiscal kita
