We study the pass-through of exchange rate changes to consumer prices for the euro area by estimating vector error correction models for Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands and Spain. Using the weights of the Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) we compute a weighted average of the...

The paper studies exchange rate implications of trend inflation within a two-country New Keynesian (NK) model under … incomplete international financial markets. A NK Phillips curve generalized by trend inflation with a positive long-run mean … implies an expectational difference equation of inflation with higher-order leads of expected inflation. The resulting two …

This paper analyzes the exchange rate pass-through to consumer prices for 85 categories of goods and services in Switzerland. The pass-through estimates are computed using a synthetic difference-in-differences approach that exploits the large Swiss franc appreciation that followed the unexpected...
