A large literature estimates the exchange rate pass-through to prices (ERPT) using reducedform approaches; whose results are an important input for analyses at Central Banks. We study the usefulness of these empirical measures for monetary policy analysis and decision making, emphasizing two...

We illustrate a pitfall that can result from the common practice of assessing alternative monetary policies purely by considering the perfect foresight equilibria (PFE) consistent with the proposed rule. In a standard New Keynesian model, such analysis may seem to support the “Neo-Fisherian”...
