| Abstract: | This paper explicitly takes into account the dynamic oligopolistic rivalry among source producers to evaluate the degree of exchange-rate pass-through. Using recent time-series techniques for the case of imported automobiles in Switzerland, the results show that prices are strategic complements and that the degree of pass-through is lower in the long run than in the short run. This is due to the fact that, although some rivals match long-term price changes, others do not, inducing the producer who faces a change in exchange rate to absorb a greater proportion of the variation. |
