Estimation of Monetary Regimes Persistence and Inflationary Environment and It’s Effect on the Exchange Rate Pass-Through: The Case of Developing Countries with Exchange Rate Anchor Monetary Regimes

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of monetary system survival (as an indicator for monetary policy stability) and inflationary environment on exchange rate pass-through (as measure of transitional effects of exchange rate fluctuations on the import price index) in 9 developing countries during 1999-2019. To this purpose, the inflationary environment index is estimated by Markov-switching model and its effect on monetary policy stability is estimated by Survival Model Approach. Then, the risk of monetary system failure is estimated by WEIBULL method and in the following, the effect of this variable with other explanatory variables is estimated by ARDL method on exchange rate pass-through. The results show the negative effect of the inflationary environment on the monetary system survival. Also, the monetary system survival, the inflationary environment, the nominal effective exchange rate and its instability will increase the exchange rate pass-through.
