| Abstract |
|
|
|
|
The effects of a change in the
exchange rate on product prices are investigated using a static
international duopoly model without product differentiation. A
general condition is derived for perverse exchange rate pass-through
assuming decreasing marginal costs for firms in two trading
countries. The result is clarified on the basis of a new diagram for
determining equilibrium supplies in the two countries. |
