Exchange Rate Pass-through to Consumer Prices: A European PerspectiveFelix P. HüfnerOrganization for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) Michael SchröderCentre for European Economic Research (ZEW) - International Finance and Financial Management March 2002 ZEW Working Paper No. 02-20 Abstract: We study the pass-through of exchange rate changes to consumer prices for the euro area by estimating vector error correction models for Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands and Spain. Using the weights of the Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) we compute a weighted average of the country results for the euro area. We find that in response to a ten percent depreciation of the euro nominal effective exchange rate index, the HICP tends to increase by 0,4 percent after 12 months. The total effect amounts to 0,8 percent and the adjustment of consumer prices is completed after three years.
