Abstract

   We provide evidence of low pass-through of exchange rates into domestic prices in the United States, both within agriculture and economy-wide, from 1970 to 2022. Exchange rate pass-through is defined as the extent to which a change in exchange rates translates into a change in domestic prices. We revisit the question of exchange rate pass-through into domestic producer and consumer prices. With food inflation being one of the major areas of concern, and with trade playing a disproportionately important role in U.S. agriculture , we also investigate exchange rate pass-through for agricultural prices as well as for prices in the general economy. Our estimation strategy does not use cross-sectional variation, but instead exploits variation over time in exchange rate indices and price indices. Most of our estimates of pass-through are not significantly different from zero, and we are almost uniformly able to reject the hypothesis of complete pass-through. Our findings suggest that any further increases in the value of the U.S. dollar will have little effect on inflation rates in the United States, in agriculture or economy-wide.
