Covered Interest Parity Deviations : Macrofinancial Determinants
Cerutti, Eugenio M. - 2019
For several decades until the Global Financial Crisis (GFC), Covered Interest Parity (CIP) appeared to hold quite closely--even as a broad macroeconomic relationship applying to daily or weekly data. Not only have CIP deviations significantly increased since the GFC, but potential macrofinancial...

Heterogeneous Expectations and Tests of Efficiency in the Yen/Dollar Forward Foreign Exchange Rate Market
Elliott, Graham - 1995
This paper examines the efficiency of the forward yen/dollar market using micro survey data. We first argue that the conventional tests of efficiency (unbiasedness) of the forward rate or of the survey forecasts do not correspond directly to the zero-profit condition. Instead, we use the survey...

The Predictive Ability of Several Models of Exchange Rate Volatility
West, Kenneth D. - 1994
We compare the out-of-sample forecasting performance of univariate homoskedastic, GARCH, autoregressive and nonparametric models for conditional variances, using five bilateral weekly exchange rates for the dollar, 1973-1989. For a one week horizon, GARCH models tend to make slightly more...

We develop a theory that links foreign investors' demand for the safety of U.S. Treasury bonds to the value of the … owning Treasury bonds. Under our theory, we show that the foreign convenience yield can be measured by the 'Treasury basis …. In both datasets, regression evidence strongly supports the theory.

Keynes and the Dollar in 1933
Edwards, Sebastian - 2017
On December 1933, John Maynard Keyes published an open letter to President Roosevelt, where he wrote: "The recent gyrations of the dollar have looked to me more like a gold standard on the booze than the ideal managed currency of my dreams." In this paper I use high frequency data to investigate...

Forward and Spot Exchange Rates in a Multi-currency World
Hassan, Tarek A. - 2014
Separate literatures study violations of uncovered interest parity using regression-based and portfolio-based methods. We propose a decomposition of these violations into a cross-currency, a between-time-and-currency, and a cross-time component that allows us to analytically relate...

Factor Model Forecasts of Exchange Rates
Engel, Charles - 2012
We construct factors from a cross section of exchange rates and use the idiosyncratic deviations from the factors to forecast. In a stylized data generating process, we show that such forecasts can be effective even if there is essentially no serial correlation in the univariate exchange rate...

Exchange Rate Models are Better than You Think, and Why They Didn't Work in the Old Days
Engel, Charles; Wu, Steve P. Y. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024
Exchange-rate models fit very well for the U.S. dollar in the 21st century. A "standard" model that includes real interest rates and a measure of expected inflation for the U.S. and the foreign country, the U.S. comprehensive trade balance, and measures of global risk and liquidity demand is...
