Abstract
This study examines the relationship between macroeconomic variablesvolatility (industrial production, exchange rate, inflation rate and money supply)and stock market volatility in Indonesia. Monthly data from January 1986 toDecember 2013 are employed in this study. Using GARCH (1, 1) and GrangerCausality test, the results show that the macroeconomic variables volatility hasno impact toward the Indonesian stock market volatility. However, there is onlyan unidirectional causal relationship running from stock market volatility toexchange rate volatility. Therefore, policy makers should take into account stockmarket volatility in making any policy related to exchange rate.
