The Appropriate Exchange Rate System and the Regulation and Forecast of Exchange Rate for Iran's Economy

Exchange rate pass-through in Iran: Exchange rate effects on the consumer price index

The purpose of this study is to find an accurate estimate of the exchange rate-CPI relationship in Iran over the past three decades. The results of the Granger causality test in the frequency domain demonstrate a strong causation from the exchange rate to CPI especially in the long run. The results of the wavelet analysis show that in the currency crisis periods, the exchange rate-CPI correlati...

Consumption Home Bias and Exchange Rate Behavior∗

This paper studies the response of the nominal exchange rate to monetary shocks in an economy with consumption home bias (CHB) and sticky wages. The importance of accounting for the exchange rate with CHB are twofold. CHB is a consequence of the small open economy assumption when outputs are specialized and fluctuations in the relative price of traded goods generate deviations from purchasing p...

Policy Time-Inconsistency: A Comparison of Managed Floating Exchange Rate and Controlled Exchange Rate Regimes

Some empirical and theoretical studies have emphasized on fixed exchange rate regime in controlling time inconsistency, while others consider the role of target zone regime as an important factor. Thus there is no general consensus to decide which exchange rate regime may bring about less time-inconsistency. The main purpose of this study is to investigate policy time-inconsistency in exchange ...

Exchange Rate Pass-Through, Exchange Rate Volatility, and Exchange Rate Disconnect

This paper explores the hypothesis that high volatility of real and nominal exchange rates may be due to the fact that local currency pricing eliminates the pass-through from changes in exchange rates to consumer prices. Exchange rates may be highly volatile because in a sense they have little effect on macroeconomic variables. The paper shows the ingredients necessary to construct such an expl...
