Exchange rate pass-through, the terms of trade and the trade balance
(National University of Ireland, Galway, 1999)We show that if exchange rate pass-through is incomplete, a country's terms of trade may move in the same or contrary direction to the nominal value of its currency. Moreover, when the degree of pass-through is endogenous, ... -
