Abstract
We provide an empirical analysis about the relationship between exchange rate and different price indexes for each OECD country. We were focused on how different inflation environments could explain a decreasing degree of the exchange rate pass-through over prices in each country. In a second stage, we estimate the relationship between pass-through and prices using individual-country pass-through. We find evidence in favor of the hypothesis that the exchange rate pass-through is lower when it is taken into account environments in which it is observed lower and stables rates of inflation, result which would be associated with a more effective monetary policy in terms of transparency and inflation control.
