Have economic reforms affected exchange rate pass-through to prices in India?

This paper examines the behaviour of exchange rate pass-through to domestic prices in India after the reforms initiated in the early 1990s. Unlike observed in several countries, it finds a rise in exchange rate pass-through to domestic prices until recent years. Besides economic factors typically associated with economic liberalisation, the persistence of higher inflation is an important factor for the rise in pass-through.
