Abstract
We analyze the channels through which the exchange rate af- fects nal consumer prices. We compare advanced countries with one emerging economy, Brazil, to determine the corresponding ex- change rate pass-through and its channels. A key aspect to the exchange rate pass-through is the relative importance of tradables in the consumption basket as well as the share of imported inputs. Since non-tradables are usually cheaper in developing economies, the share of non-tradeables is smaller in theses countries. We il- lustrate this scenario using data from Brazil vis-a-vis a group of advanced economies.
期刊介绍:
A Revista Brasileira de Economia (RBE) é a mais antiga publicação de Economia do Brasil, e a segunda mais antiga da América Latina. Seus fundadores foram Arizio de Viana, o primeiro editor, e Eugênio Gudin, um dos mais influentes economistas da história brasileira. A RBE foi apresentada no seu primeiro número pelo professor Luiz Simões Lopes, em uma Introdução que poderia constar ainda hoje de qualquer número da revista.
