Nonlinear mechanisms of the exchange rate pass-through: a Phillips curve model with threshold for Brazil

This paper investigates the presence of nonlinear mechanisms of pass-through from the exchange rate to inflation in Brazil. In particular, it estimates a Phillips curve with a threshold for the pass-through. The paper examines whether the short-run magnitude of the pass-through is affected by the bu...
