Estimations explaining the relationship (the pass-through effect) are reported for the five largest imports into the New Zealand economy. Estimates are run on a bilateral and disaggregated basis for imports from Australia, Japan, UK, and USA. Bilateral investigation finds a partial first quarter response but does not find complete pass-through for all products, with coefficient values displaying unexpected correlations with the exchange rate. By comparison pass-through for the aggregated data is found to be complete and rapidly achieved. All small country assumptions are found to hold for New Zealand.enThe AuthorNew ZealandForeign exchange ratesEffect of foreign exchange on pricesImports -- PricesExchange rate pass-through and the prices of selected New Zealand imports : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Applied Economics at Massey UniversityThesisQ112849519https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q112849519
