Exchange Rate Pass-Through on Non-Oil Trade Balance in Iran

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...

Endogenous Trade Participation with Incomplete Exchange Rate Pass-Through

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...

Vertical Trade, Asymmetric Exchange Rate Pass-Through, and Canada’s Exchange Rate Regime

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...

Markov-switching analysis of exchange rate pass-through: Sugar Price in Iran

Due to its inherent role in ensuring food security and as one of the productive sectors of the economy, the agricultural sector has a priority in receiving preferential currency. Having a preferred currency has caused the price of this commodity in the market to be multi-valued. On the other hand, the allocation of billions of dollars at a price lower than the free market price of foreign excha...

Exchange Rate Pass-Through To Domestic Prices In Iran (1990-2006)

Exchange Rate Pass-Through in Ghana

The paper examines the effect of exchange rate changes on consumer prices in Ghana using vector autoregression (VAR) models. Using a data set covering the period 1990M01–2009M02, we find that the exchange rate pass-through to inflation is ‘incomplete’ and decreasing in Ghana. Our empirical results indicate a low but significant pass-through in the short run. We argue that the findings reflect t...
