question analysed in this apper. In contrast to other studies we use expectations instead of realised data. Therefore we … analyse the implicit structural models forecasters have in mind when forming their exchange rate expectations. Using expected … short- and long-term interest rates and business expectations as explanatory variables we estimate latent structural models …

We investigate the relation between foreign exchange (FX) order flow and the forward bias. We outline a decomposition of the forward bias according to which a negative correlation between interest rate differentials and order flow creates a time-varying risk premium consistent with that bias....

We explore whether modelling parameter time variation improves the point, interval and density forecasts of nine major exchange rates vis-a-vis the US dollar over the period 1976-2015. We find that modelling parameter time variation is needed for an accurate calibration of forecast confidence...
