The Impact of Exchange Rate Pass-Through via Domestic Prices on Inflation in Iran: New Evidence from a Threshold Regression
Authors
Abstract:
There are various causes for inflation in macroeconomics. One of the important channels of experiencing inflation is through the international economy caused by external shocks. In this context, the impact of exchange rate volatilities on domestic prices known as Exchange Rate Pass-Through (ERPT) plays a vital role. The present paper deals with the impact of Exchange Rate Pass-Through on inflation in Iran. To do so, using a monthly time series data for the period 1983: 1-2014: 9, a Threshold Regression has been applied to estimate the relevant model. The results indicate a growth rate of monthly nominal exchange rate of 9.1 percent acts as a threshold rate. In other words, ERPT to domestic prices above the threshold is statistically significant whereas below the threshold, is not statistically significant. Therefore, due to the fact that one of the main functions of the central bank is to maintain a stable currency value it is very important to pay attention to the impact of Exchange Rate Pass-Through and its threshold effects in implementation monetary policies to curb inflation.

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...
