Exchange Rate Pass-Through Over the Business Cycle in Singapore / Siang Tan, Joey Chew, Sam Ouliaris.

First stage pass-through is estimated to be complete and relatively quick, confirming existing views that the exchange rate provides an effective tool to moderate imported inflation in Singapore. Asymmetric pass-through effects over the business cycle are also detected, with importers passing on a smaller share of exchange rate movements during boom periods as compared to recessions. This result suggest that Singapore's exchange rate policy could afford to "lean against the wind," especially during cyclical expansions. Mode of access: Internet Chew, Joey. Ouliaris, Sam.
