1 Discussion on Policy-Relevant Exchange Rate Pass-Through to U.S. Import Prices Hakan Yilmazkuday 1 1 Temple University September 2010 September / 9
2 Questions Downward bias in exchange rate pass-through to U.S. import price index September / 9
3 Questions Downward bias in exchange rate pass-through to U.S. import price index Possible reasons investigated: September / 9
4 Questions Downward bias in exchange rate pass-through to U.S. import price index Possible reasons investigated: Improper lag selection September / 9
5 Questions Downward bias in exchange rate pass-through to U.S. import price index Possible reasons investigated: Improper lag selection Selection biases in the entry of items in the basket of prices September / 9
6 Questions Downward bias in exchange rate pass-through to U.S. import price index Possible reasons investigated: Improper lag selection Selection biases in the entry of items in the basket of prices Selection biases in the exit of items from the basket of prices. September / 9
7 Arguments Improper lag selection September / 9
8 Arguments Improper lag selection Standard lag length selection criteria may lead underprediction of pass-through over the medium run September / 9
9 Arguments Improper lag selection Standard lag length selection criteria may lead underprediction of pass-through over the medium run Include, say, 24 lags in monthly data September / 9
10 Arguments Improper lag selection Standard lag length selection criteria may lead underprediction of pass-through over the medium run Include, say, 24 lags in monthly data Monte-Carlo: Bene ts are higher compared to costs September / 9
11 Arguments Selection biases in the entry of items September / 9
12 Arguments Selection biases in the entry of items Items that are less responsive to recent exchange rate movements than items already in the index. September / 9
13 Arguments Selection biases in the entry of items Items that are less responsive to recent exchange rate movements than items already in the index. The size of this bias is sensitive to the speed of pass-through. September / 9
14 Arguments Selection biases in the entry of items Items that are less responsive to recent exchange rate movements than items already in the index. The size of this bias is sensitive to the speed of pass-through. Construct an alternative price index by delaying the entry of substitutes in the basket September / 9
15 Arguments Selection biases in the exit of items September / 9
16 Arguments Selection biases in the exit of items The key source of bias?? September / 9
17 Arguments Selection biases in the exit of items The key source of bias?? Due to the possibility of items leaving the basket having higher deviation from their reset price September / 9
18 Arguments Selection biases in the exit of items The key source of bias?? Due to the possibility of items leaving the basket having higher deviation from their reset price Further details are necessary from BLS to work on this September / 9
19 Lag selection Can the problem be solved by using the maximum lag of an item? September / 9
20 Lag selection Can the problem be solved by using the maximum lag of an item? Because, the import price index consists of many item prices September / 9
21 Lag selection Can the problem be solved by using the maximum lag of an item? Because, the import price index consists of many item prices If any of the items are a ected by lagged exchange rates, you may want to include as many lags just to capture the dynamics of these items. September / 9
22 Lag selection Create two price series: September / 9
23 Lag selection Create two price series: One with 24 lags of exchange rate e ect September / 9
24 Lag selection Create two price series: One with 24 lags of exchange rate e ect The other with 2 lags of exchange rate e ect September / 9
25 Lag selection Create two price series: One with 24 lags of exchange rate e ect The other with 2 lags of exchange rate e ect Take the weighted average of the two series September / 9
26 Lag selection Create two price series: One with 24 lags of exchange rate e ect The other with 2 lags of exchange rate e ect Take the weighted average of the two series With low-enough weights on 24-lag series, the lag selection of the weighted average through AIC or SC can be as low as 2 or 3. September / 9
27 Lag selection Create two price series: One with 24 lags of exchange rate e ect The other with 2 lags of exchange rate e ect Take the weighted average of the two series With low-enough weights on 24-lag series, the lag selection of the weighted average through AIC or SC can be as low as 2 or 3. Hence 24-lag series almost disappear in lag selection through AIC or SC September / 9
28 Lag selection Create two price series: One with 24 lags of exchange rate e ect The other with 2 lags of exchange rate e ect Take the weighted average of the two series With low-enough weights on 24-lag series, the lag selection of the weighted average through AIC or SC can be as low as 2 or 3. Hence 24-lag series almost disappear in lag selection through AIC or SC But, can we still use 24 lags on weighted average to see the overall e ects (for medium or long-run)? September / 9
29 Lag selection The answer is yes if you believe in the following alternative lag selection: September / 9
30 Lag selection The answer is yes if you believe in the following alternative lag selection: When I used sequential F-test with maximum 50 possible lags (for 10,000 simulations) as a lag selection criterion, the highest lag with the medium (and mode) lag selection equal to itself (and the mean lag selection very close to itself) was 24, while it was not the case for any higher possible lags September / 9
31 Lag selection The answer is yes if you believe in the following alternative lag selection: When I used sequential F-test with maximum 50 possible lags (for 10,000 simulations) as a lag selection criterion, the highest lag with the medium (and mode) lag selection equal to itself (and the mean lag selection very close to itself) was 24, while it was not the case for any higher possible lags Hence, through sequential F-test, select the highest lag which minimizes the distance with itself after 10,000 simulations. In my case, 99% of simulations selected 24 lags. September / 9
32 Lag selection The answer is yes if you believe in the following alternative lag selection: When I used sequential F-test with maximum 50 possible lags (for 10,000 simulations) as a lag selection criterion, the highest lag with the medium (and mode) lag selection equal to itself (and the mean lag selection very close to itself) was 24, while it was not the case for any higher possible lags Hence, through sequential F-test, select the highest lag which minimizes the distance with itself after 10,000 simulations. In my case, 99% of simulations selected 24 lags. I repeated this exercise with creating price series with many di erent exchange rate lags; the results were the same September / 9
33 Lag selection The answer is yes if you believe in the following alternative lag selection: When I used sequential F-test with maximum 50 possible lags (for 10,000 simulations) as a lag selection criterion, the highest lag with the medium (and mode) lag selection equal to itself (and the mean lag selection very close to itself) was 24, while it was not the case for any higher possible lags Hence, through sequential F-test, select the highest lag which minimizes the distance with itself after 10,000 simulations. In my case, 99% of simulations selected 24 lags. I repeated this exercise with creating price series with many di erent exchange rate lags; the results were the same Hence, using sequential F-test can be an alternative solution. September / 9
