Mathematical Modeling and Regime Dynamics of Ammonium Chloride Imports in Indonesia Using Threshold Vector Autoregressive Integrated (TVARI) Approach

Abstract


Ammonium chloride plays an important role in Indonesia as a key raw material for Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK) fertilizers and various chemical industries. Despite its importance, domestic production remains limited, and the potential supply from by-product sources has not been utilized in a meaningful way. As a result, Indonesia depends heavily on imports that come mainly from a single country. This situation creates vulnerabilities in the industrial supply chain and highlights the need for a clearer understanding of how import volume and import value behave over time. This study offers a mathematical model that examines the joint movement of these two variables by using the Threshold Vector Autoregressive Integrated approach, commonly known as TVARI. The novelty of the study lies in its use of a nonlinear threshold structure to show how the system shifts between different market conditions. The model reveals that import behavior changes across regimes. When import growth is low, movements are shaped mostly by changes in import value. When growth becomes higher, the pattern reflects the stronger influence of supply conditions. A single linear model cannot fully explain these shifts. By presenting a mathematical description of these regime movements, the study enhances the understanding of the underlying dynamics of Indonesia’s industrial imports. The insights support data informed decisions in supply chain planning and relate to Sustainable Development Goal 9 (industry resilience) and Sustainable Development Goal 12 (efficient and responsible use of raw materials). Goal 8 of the Sustainable Development Agenda, which is to encourage stable and sustainable economic activity, is likewise aligned with the enhanced comprehension of market behavior.
