The international transmission of monetary policy in a dollar pricing model
Juha Tervala ()
Abstract: This paper analyses the international transmission of
monetary policy in a case where all export prices are set in US dollars.
‘Dollar pricing’ implies that the international effects of US monetary
shocks are different to those of European shocks because of asymmetric
exchange rate pass-through to import prices. A dollar pricing model can
explain the observed asymmetry in the transmission of monetary policy: US
monetary policy affects US output more than European monetary policy
affects European output. I also show that the dollar pricing model
reintroduces the current account as an important channel through which
monetary policy affects welfare in the short run. The paper concludes that
under dollar pricing monetary expansion is a beggar-thy-neighbour
policy.
