We use detailed data for Iceland to examine two often-neglected aspects of the "exchange rate pass-through" problem. First, we investigate whether the pass-through coefficient varies with the degree of "international tradability" of goods. Second, we analyze if the pass-through coefficient depends on the monetary policy framework. We consider 12 disaggregated price indexes in Iceland for 2003-2019, a period that includes Iceland's banking and currency crisis of 2008. We find that the pass-through declined around the time Iceland reformed its "flexible inflation targeting," and that the coefficients are significantly higher for tradable than for nontradable goods
