VAR: First Quarter Trade Price Response to a One Percent Change in the Exchange Rate 1998-2010Using both regression- and VAR-based estimates, the paper finds that the exchange rate pass-through to import prices for a large number of countries is incomplete and larger than the pass-through to export prices. Previous studies have reported similar results, which give rise to the puzzle that while local currency pricing is needed to account for incomplete import price pass-through, it would not imply a lower export price pass-through. Recent explanations of this puzzle have emphasized markup adjustment in response to exchange rate changes. This paper suggests an alternative explanation based on the presence of both producer and local currency pricing. Using a dynamic general equilibrium model, the paper shows that a mix of producer and local currency pricing can explain the pass-through evidence even with a constant markup. The model can also explain the observed exchange rate and inflation variability as well as the fact that the regression and VAR estimates tend to be similar.IMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;No. 2012/226Exchange rate pass-throughPricesCurrenciesimfCurrencyimfDeflationimfExchange rate pass-throughimfExchange ratesimfExport pricesimfExportsimfForeign ExchangeimfForeign exchangeimfGovernment and the Monetary SystemimfImport pricesimfImportsimfInflationimfInternational Policy Coordination and TransmissionimfMacroeconomicsimfMonetary economicsimfMonetary PolicyimfMonetary SystemsimfMoney and Monetary PolicyimfMoneyimfOpen Economy MacroeconomicsimfPayment SystemsimfPrice LevelimfPricesimfRegimesimfStandardsimfUnited StatesimfExchange rate pass-through.Prices.CurrenciesCurrencyDeflationExchange rate pass-throughExchange ratesExport pricesExportsForeign ExchangeForeign exchangeGovernment and the Monetary SystemImport pricesImportsInflationInternational Policy Coordination and TransmissionMacroeconomicsMonetary economicsMonetary PolicyMonetary SystemsMoney and Monetary PolicyMoneyOpen Economy MacroeconomicsPayment SystemsPrice LevelPricesRegimesStandards658.3894Choudhri Ehsan1816427Hakura Dalia1643717DcWaIMFBOOK9910960604803321The Exchange Rate Pass -Through to Import and Export Prices4372944UNINA
