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. @raphauer.bsky.social @arielburst.bsky.social @leinsarah.bsky.social cepr.org/voxeu/column...

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.

I think the user-cost elasticity of capital (e.g., Zwick-Mahon) , MPCs (Parker et. al), and labor supply elasticities (e.g., Chetty) are important examples. Don't answer macro questions directly, of course, but provide key moments for macro models. Not sure that's what you had in mind though...
