Real exchange rate forecasting: a calibrated half-life PPP model can beat the random walk
Ca' Zorzi, Michele; Rubaszek, Michał - Narodowy Bank Polski - 2012
This paper brings two new insights into the Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) debate. First, even if PPP is thought to hold only in the long run, we show that a half-life PPP model outperforms the random walk in real exchange rate forecasting, also at short-term horizons. Second, we show that this...

Fundamentals and Exchange Rate Forecastability with Machine Learning Methods
Michalski, Tomasz; Amat, Christophe - HEC Paris (École des Hautes Études Commerciales) - 2014
Simple exchange rate models based on economic fundamentals were shown to have a difficulty in beating the random walk when predicting the exchange rates out of sample in the modern floating era. Using methods from machine learning -- sequential adaptive ridge regression -- that prevent...
