reset-price inflation to exchange rate shocks exhibits significant persistence. Individual import prices, conditional on … imports, like that for consumer prices, exhibits little persistence. Competitor prices affect firm pricing, and exchange rate … pass-through into import prices is greater in response to trade-weighted, as opposed to bilateral, exchange rate shocks. We …

Instead, a natural experiment based on data releases defines our shock to foreign prices. Our estimation strategy …
