This paper focuses on the pass-through of exchange rate fluctuations into prices of final goods and services, and examines whether contrasting pass-through rates are associated with regionaland/or product-specific characteristics. Using CPI microdata, we estimate industry-specific rates of pass-through across regions in Mexico. By looking at within country price responses, this study alleviates...

The recent sharp appreciation of the Canadian dollar vs. the US dollar poses difficulties for the Canadian economy and reignites the debate as to whether Canada should fix the Canadian dollar to the US dollar by implementing a unilateral peg or forming a monetary union. We compare the welfare of different combinations of monetary and currency policies in an open-economy macroeconomic model that...

This paper investigates the implications of endogenous trade participation for international business cycles, trade flow dynamics and exchange rate pass-through when price adjustments are staggered across firms. I develop a two-country dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model wherein firms make state-dependent decisions on entry and exit in the export market and the frequency of price adjus...

Recent work by Devereux, Engel, and Storgaard (2004, JIE, pp. 286), suggests that one of the key channels through which monetary policy may work is by changing the degree of pass-through. Inspired by this observation, we develop a unified estimation framework within a fully specified open macroeconomic model where both pass-through and exchange rates are endogenously determined so as to empiric...

Using a sample from January 1988 to December 2005 for exports of five Japanese major ports to six destination countries, we examine the effect of market share (with respect to competitors from the same country) on exchange rate pass-through (henceforth, ERPT). Our dataset is unique, allowing us to control for market shares among competing exporters with the same nationality. A close examination...

The main objective of this paper is to investigate the asymmetric effects of exchangerate on Iranian import price index using quarterly time series data over the period 1990- 2011. For this purpose, positive and negative shocks of the exchange rate have been separated from each other using dummy variables and the effects of the size of the exchange rate shocks by determining a threshold.The emp...

• Welfare effects of taxation and other costs under imperfect competition are analyzed. Formulas for the marginal value public funds incidence provided. Our framework can be readily extended to encompass firm heterogeneity. This paper provides a comprehensive study welfare multiple policy interventions external changes with emphasis on specific ad valorem as leading case. Specifically, in relat...

This paper investigates the impact of hedging activities on U.S. export pricing. A theoretical framework of export pricing model with a hedging component was derived to test the hypothesis via exchange rate pass-through. The hypothesis is that a firm with a high (low) hedging engagement would have a low (normal) degree of exchange rate pass-through, ceteris paribus. Two measurements of the hedg...

Abstract We use detailed data for Iceland to examine two often-neglected aspects of the exchange rate pass-through problem. First, we investigate whether coefficient varies with degree international tradability goods. Second, analyze if depends on monetary policy framework. consider 12 disaggregated price indexes in 2003–2019, a period that includes Iceland’s banking and currency crisis 2008. f...
