International Prices and Exchange Rates
We survey the recent empirical and theoretical developments in the literature on the relation between prices and exchange rates. After updating some of the major findings in the empirical literature we present a simple framework to interpret this evidence. We review theoretical models that generate insensitivity of prices to exchange rate changes through variable markups, both under flexible pr...
متن کاملPass-Through of Exchange Rates and Import Prices to Domestic In‡ation in Some Industrialized Economies¤
This paper examines the impact of exchange rates and import prices on domestic PPI and CPI in selected industrialized economies.

Incomplete hedging of forex risk, documented for U.S. global mutual funds, has three important implications: 1) exchange rates are almost as volatile as equity prices when the forex liquidity supply is not infinitely price elastic; 2) higher returns...

In contrast, the main contribution is to show the existence of a very short-term relationshi...
متن کاملCan Exchange Rates Forecast Commodity Prices?
This paper demonstrates that “commodity currency” exchange rates have remarkably robust power in predicting future global commodity prices, both in-sample and out-of-sample. A critical element of our in-sample approach is to allow for structural breaks, endemic to empirical exchange rate models, by implementing the approach of Rossi (2005b). Aside from its practical implications, our forecastin...
