Abstract

The objective of this research is to estimate the coefficient of the Pass Through of Exchange in Costa Rica, as well as checking if the volatility is significant for the coefficient estimation. To achieve this objective an appraisal was made by the method of ordinary least squares, the studies determining, first the coefficient, and second the significance of the volatility. The results of the study showed that Pass Through of the exchange rate is performed instantly and its magnitude is approximately 17.22% in the short term. In the long run, the ratio is 6.52%. The observation of the permanence of inflationary inertia also stays in the economy with a rating of 98.19%. Volatility can confirm that the transfer of exchange rate variations is given instantly and that explain that economic agents indeed use volatility to estimate the possible variations in the nominal exchange rate. Finally the study demonstrate the Pass Through of Exchange goes up in a significant trade when the volatility from the last three months is taken in consideration.
