Abstract

This article aims to examine research related to macroeconomic variables that affect stock returns in Indonesia. The study was mapped from 25 research articles pub- lished in 20 nationally accredited scientific journals over a 18-year period. The re- search method used "charting the field" and "analyzing the community-citation." The field mapping results showed 4 classifications of macroeconomic variables: A. general economic conditions (economic growth, industrial production index, output, gross domestic product, and foreign exchange reserves); B. interest rates and mone- tary policy (interest rate, amount of money supply, government bond yield, and SBI discount rate); C. price level (inflation, world oil prices, changes in gold and silver prices); and D. international activities (exchange rate, global financial crisis, and federal fund rate). The dominating macroeconomic variables are exchange rate (76%), inflation (72%), interest rate (64%), world oil prices (20%), and money supply (16%). The results of the community mapping showed that 55% of the journals have received citations and there are 52% of the writing teams who have received cita- tions
