Abstract

The paper presents a new research direction in quantifying the exchange rate pass-through (ERPT) coefficient. Innovations brought to the standard approach refer to incorporating changes in economic conditions behind currency movements. Before applying the new methodology, fluctuations of the transmission magnitude are illustrated through a timevarying coefficient regression. At the same time, by estimating an asymmetric error correction model, different responses of the price indices according to the sign of the exchange rate movements are captured. In order to quantify the transmission mechanism in the context of shocks, a sign and zero restrictions Bayesian VAR is estimated. Empirical evidence show that shock-dependent transmission is heterogeneous. The highest values of the ERPT coefficient result when the exchange rate movements are caused by a monetary policy shock. Nevertheless, this shock has a reduced contribution in explaining the exchange rate dynamics in the case of Romanian economy.
