Abstract

JIMENEZ, Dora Elena  and  RENDON, Hernando. The pass through from the exchange rate to the consumer prices of tradable goods: An approach to the Colombian case. Lect. Econ. [online]. 2009, n.70, pp.85-108. ISSN 0120-2596.

This paper estimates the exchange rate pass through to the consumer prices of tradable goods in Colombia during the period 1994-2007. The econometric analysis shows evidence of cointegration among the prices of tradable goods, nominal exchange rate, international prices and the trade account-output ratio. We find an incomplete transmission effect of the exchange rate both in the long and in the short run.

Keywords : Pass through effect; prices of tradable goods; exchange rate; inflation.
