The impact of exchange rate fluctuations on markups – firm-level evidence for Switzerland
This paper estimates the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on markups. Firm-level markups are estimated for a comprehensive panel of Swiss manufacturing firms for the period 2012–2017 using a production-function approach. The pass-through of the exchange rate is then estimated using an event–study design exploiting the large, sudden, and persistent appreciation of the Swiss franc against the euro in January 2015. The results show that following an appreciation, Swiss manufacturing firms adjust their markups very heterogeneously. Large firms, especially highly profitable large exporters, substantially decrease their markups. Owing to their sheer size, large firms shape the aggregate response. In contrast, the average firm does not respond significantly. This suggests that smaller firms, which are in the majority, are either unable or unwilling to absorb exchange rate movements by adjusting their markups.
