Market microstructure and the imperfect common knowledge literature in macroeconomics both analyze the effect of dispersed information on prices. This paper draws on both sources to understand exchange rate forecasting errors. A theoretical model is developed showing that forecasting errors...

We estimate a model for exchange rate dynamics when expectations present higher order beliefs. A structural macro model for exchange rates is proposed where agents form their one-step-ahead predictions under a Bayesian learning process and in which aggregation of their choices is considered into...
