We present a simple behavioral model with chartists and fundamentalists and analyze their trading behavior in both a floating and a target zone exchange rate regime. When applied to the floating regime, the model replicates the well-known stylized facts, such as excess volatility, fat tails,...

In this paper we provide evidence for Evans and Lyons' (2005b) model of an information aggregation process in FX markets, using a rich data base on a German bank's end-user order flow from 2002 to 2003. Though customer order flow is unambiguously the vehicle incorporating non-public information...

In this study a regime-switching approach is applied to estimate the chartist and fundamentalist (camp;f) exchange rate model originally proposed by Frankel and Froot (1986). The camp;f model is tested against alternative regime-switching specifications applying likelihood ratio tests. Nested...

Notwithstanding its widespread use and well documented profitability, technical analysis is still not accepted by the academia. This may be due to the fact that the causes of this profitability are not yet well understood. This paper suggests a rational for the application of technical trading...

In this paper we empirically investigate the relationship between capital flows and exchange rates in India based on a new index of real effective exchange rates for the Indian Rupiah. Instead of using consumer price indices we deflate exchange rates by MSCI asset price indices. The...

Whereas microeconomic studies point to pronounced downward rigidity of nominal wages in the US economy, the standard Phillips curve neglects such a feature. Using a stochastic frontier model we find macroeconomic evidence of a strictly nonnegative error in an otherwise standard Phillips curve in...

This paper investigates the impact of a changing market environment on the pricing of CDS spreads written on debt from EURO STOXX 50 firms. A Panel Smooth Transition Regression reveals that parameter estimates of standard CDS fundamentals are time-varying depending on current values of a set of...

Foreign exchange rates, asset prices and capital movements are expected to be closely related to each other as international capital markets become more and more integrated. This paper provides new empirical evidence from an index of exchange-rate adjusted cross-country asset price ratios, which...
