These distinct adjustment dynamics appear … nesting aggregate and disaggregated relative prices permits identification of distinct macroeconomic and good-specific shocks …

We study the purchasing power parity (PPP) puzzle in a multi-sector, two-country, sticky- price model. Across sectors, firms differ in the extent of price stickiness, in accordance with recent microeconomic evidence on price setting in various countries. Combined with local currency pricing,...

Sticky price monetary models of exchange rates, while reasonable theoretically, have been disappointing empirically. Out-of-sample predictions have been little or no better than those from a naive model of no change. The most likely reason is that shocks to the market's expectation of the future...

Using self-exciting threshold autoregressive models, we explore the validity of the law of one price (LOOP) for sixteen sectors in nine European countries. We and strong evidence of nonlinear mean reversion in deviations from the LOOP and highlight the importance of modelling the real exchange...

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 …

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 …
