Exchange Rate, Money, and Wages: What is Driving Prices in Armenia? High quality books Exchange Rate, Money, and Wages: What is Driving Prices in Armenia? By:David A. Grigorian,Armine Khachatryan,Grigor Sargsyan Published on 2004-12-01 by International Monetary Fund This paper is the first attempt to look at inflation dynamics and monetary transmission mechanisms in Armenia in the context of a full information model containing three interrelated markets: foreign exchange, money, and labor. Using the vector error correction model (VECM) approach, we find that the exchange rate pass-through to prices is very strong relative to credit, wage, and interest rate channels.
