This paper presents unprecedented exchange rate forecasting results, based upon a new model that approximates the gap between the fundamental equilibrium exchange rate and the actual exchange rate with the long-maturity forward exchange rate. The theoretical derivation of our forecasting...

We utilize Monte Carlo simulations to evaluate, in finite samples, the forecasting performance of the monetary model. The data generating process (DGP) is based on the assumptions of Engel and West (2005) about the present-value model for exchange rates, namely that the discount factor is close...
