Abstract:
This paper tries to explain the causes and consecuences of the inflationary process that Argentina suffered in the first half of year 2002. Here we show the importance of the devaluation and depreciacion of the nominal exchange rate in the explanation of the rise of the price level. We also show the differential impact that the devaluation ahd in consumer and wholesale prices. We used an exchange rate pass-through model in a vector autoregressive fashion to show all this aspects.
