Abstract

In this paper, we analyze the nature of long-run exchange rate pass-through in a panel of 24 developing countries. We define and estimate an exchange rate pass-through equation based on micro-foundations of pricing behaviour by exporters firms. We adopt a multi-country framework and we use non-stationary panel estimation techniques and test for panel cointegration. we show that long-run exchange rate pass-through in developing countries is an heterogeneous phenomenon.
