This paper estimates monthly pass-through ratios from import prices to consumer prices in real time. Conventional time … series methods impose restrictions to generate exogenous shocks on exchange rates or import prices when estimating pass …-through coefficients. Instead, a natural experiment based on data releases defines our shock to foreign prices. Our estimation strategy …
