We estimate a Bayesian threshold vector autoregression (TVAR) to study the relationship between exchange rate pass-through and economic activity in Canada and Mexico. Both the model comparison and the analysis of impulse-response functions provide strong evidence of a nonlinear relationship and...

Using Monte Carlo simulations, this paper evaluates the ability of the trend-cycle decomposition approach of Hamilton (2018) to adequately identify asymmetries in business cycles fluctuations. By considering different specifications of linear and asymmetric processes consistent with previous...
