Exchange rate pass-through and fiscal multipliers

This paper develops a small open economy model with nominal rigidities and search-matching frictions to study the implications of the degree of exchange rate pass-through for fiscal multipliers. I allow for delayed pass-through to both imported consumption goods prices and imported intermediate goods prices. The result shows that incomplete exchange rate pass-through to imported goods prices dampens the fiscal impact on output and unemployment. However, incomplete pass-through to imported input prices has little effect on the output and unemployment multipliers.
