Abstract

The article examines the asymmetries of the exchange rate pass-through (ERPT) into import, producer and consumer price indices for the Romanian economy. Using three econometric methods naturally equipped to capture various types of asymmetries
(MS-VAR, TAR and SETAR), important asymmetries with respect to sign and size of the exchange rate, size of inflation and time period have been detected.

Keywords: exchange rate, pass-through, import prices, producer prices, consumer prices, vector autoregression, asymmetries, MS-VAR, TAR, SETAR
