The 2015 Swiss franc appreciation showed that a stronger currency does not fully translate into proportionate reductions in consumer prices, either at short or medium horizons.

The 2015 CHF appreciation is a key empirical setting for understanding how large exchange rate movements shape macroeconomic outcomes. In a new @voxeu.org column w @leinsarah.bsky.social and Ariel Burstein, we reflect on the main learnings 10 years after the shock

Ten years after the Swiss franc shock: Lessons on prices, expenditure switching, and inequality
The 2015 Swiss franc appreciation provided researchers with a unique empirical setting for understanding how large exchange rate movements shape economic outcomes. This column discusses key findings about the response of firms and consumers. The relatively muted pass-through observed in Switzerland reveals that a stronger currency does not fully translate into proportionate reductions in consumer prices, either at short or medium horizons. Household heterogeneity is also a key theme – low-income households which are more price-sensitive can benefit disproportionately from cheaper foreign goods, while households near the border can further benefit by shopping abroad.

A new CEPR Policy Insight on supporting Ukraine

1) The cost of NOT supporting UKR is super high
2) Ukraine will be able to take care of itself in the future

Put bluntly, the more aid Ukraine receives today, the faster it can win the war and and the lower the ultimate cost to West of RUS invasion.
Financing democracy: Why and how partners should support Ukraine
While continued support is vital for Ukraine to prevail in its war with Russia, it currently looks at risk. Further US support is held up in Congress, while the EU is struggling to approve a financial...

Genau, wie es Robert Habeck sagt: „…die Hamas kämpft nicht für die Freiheit, sie kämpft nicht für die Palästinenserinnen und Palästinenser, nicht für die Menschen. Sie kämpft, sie mordet sinnlos nur für sich“

Bye bye, Chicago! Returning from an excellent conference organized by Michael Weber and Francesco D‘Acunto on Inflation Expectations: Determinants and Consequences. I learned so much from the fantastic presenters and discussants (in particular from the brilliant discussant of our paper, Ina Hajdini)
