We analyse the economic conditions (the "shocks") behind currency movements and show how that analysis can help address a range of questions, focusing on exchange rate pass-through to prices. We build on a methodology previously developed for the United Kingdom and adapt this framework so that...

We show that exchange rate pass-through to consumer prices varies not only across countries, but also over time. Previous literature has highlighted the role of an economy's "structure" - such as its inflation volatility, inflation rate, use of foreign currency invoicing, and openness - in...

An extensive empirical literature explores why exchange rate pass-through to prices varies across countries, with limited analysis of why pass-through can also vary meaningfully over time. We develop a methodology to better understand pass-through for a diverse sample of economies by explicitly...

Have bank regulatory policies and unconventional monetary policies--and any possible interactions--been a factor behind the recent "deglobalisation" in cross-border bank lending? To test this hypothesis, we use bank-level data from the UK--a country at the heart of the global financial system....
