Exchange Rate Pass-Through in South Africa: Panel Evidence from Individual Goods and ServicesDavid C. ParsleyVanderbilt University - Owen Graduate School of Management; Vanderbilt University December 1, 2010 Journal of Development Studies, Forthcoming Abstract: This study estimates pass-through for South Africa using samples of final goods and services, and homogenous imports. Estimated pass-through to consumer goods prices is low, roughly 16 percent in the two years following an exchange rate change; surprisingly, it is somewhat higher for services. Deviations from long run PPP appear to disappear relatively quickly, with a half-life of about 16 months. For imports, pass-through estimates are much higher, averaging around 60 percent, but with wide source-country variation. Finally, there is virtually no support for a simple linear trend change in either pass-through or in reversion to PPP during the sample.
