In this paper, we extend the Taylor rule model of exchange rate determination by incorporating the liquidity yield on government bonds and investigate exchange rate predictability. We find that the liquidity yield on government bonds delivers additional predictive power to future exchange rate...

We propose a simple identification scheme for the causes of the violations of uncovered interest parity. Our method uses the serial dependence patterns of excess returns as a criterion for judging performance of economic models. We show that a mean reverting component in excess returns,...
