On 19-20, April 2001 economists and researchers from the ECB and the FED discussed the interaction between monetary policy and exchange rates at a workshop that was jointly organized by Columbia University, the Technical University, Vienna, and the Oesterreichische Nationalbank. Its aim was to provi

Abstract
The pass‐through of exchange rate changes into domestic inflation appears to have declined in many countries since the 1980s. We develop a theoretical model that attributes the change in the rate of pass‐through to increased emphasis on inflation stabilization by many central banks. This hypothesis is tested on 20 industrial countries between 1971 and 2003. We find widespread evidence of a robust and statistically significant link between estimated rates of pass‐through and inflation variability. We also find evidence that observed monetary policy behaviour may be a factor in the declining rate of pass‐through. Published in 2004 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

This paper considers optimal monetary stabilization policy under flexible exchange rates in a model where exchange rate expectations are generated regressively. The analysis highlights the intimate relationship that exists between: (a) the direction of the optimal monetary feedback rule, (b) the amo
## Abstract We develop a structural model of a small open economy with gradual exchange rate pass‐through and endogenous inertia in inflation and output. We then estimate the model by matching the implied impulse responses with those obtained from a VAR model estimated on Swedish data. Although our
## Abstract This paper presents a theoretical model to analyse exchange rate pass‐through when there is cross‐border production sharing. With production sharing, between two nations, we have pass‐through at two different levels, one at the level of the imported parts and components used in making t
