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 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.

Maybe capital-user cost elasticity estimates? Papers on dividend taxation, bonus depreciation, corporate taxation, and more would fit in that bucket.

What a relief to hear other countries have great regulation too - German unis now require a tax ID for reimbursement.

I am on the #econjobmarket this year!

My JMP focuses specifically on second-generation migrant girls. How does education policy impact them as they grow up in a highly egalitarian society, yet within families that have migrated from more gender-traditional origins?
