Separate literatures study violations of uncovered interest parity using regression-based and portfolio-based methods. We propose a decomposition of these violations into a cross-currency, a between-time-and-currency, and a cross-time component that allows us to analytically relate...

In this paper we argue that major shifts in monetary policy regimes can explain a large part of the forward discount puzzle. First, we build a simple theoretical model suggesting that shifts by central banks from destabilizing regimes - when the Taylor principle is violated - to stabilizing...

To understand deviations from Covered Interest Parity (CIP) it is crucial to account for heterogeneity in funding costs---both across banks and currency areas. For most market participants, the no-arbitrage relation holds fairly well when implemented using marginal funding costs and risk-free...

This paper examines the role of banking sector foreign currency hedging demand in the foreign exchange market. First, the paper documents deviations from covered interest parity for a panel of emerging economies and tests whether resident bank foreign currency hedging needs affect these...

Separate literatures study violations of uncovered interest parity (UIP) using regression-based and portfolio-based methods. We propose a decomposition of these violations into a cross-currency, a between-time-and-currency, and a cross-time component that allows us to analytically relate...

Different approaches to quantifying the degree of capital mobility for a cross-section of currencies -- particularly saving-investment correlations and tests of real interest parity - have appeared to show a surprisingly low degree of financial market integration. We use a new data set, forward...

In this article, we apply interest rate parity, IRP, between two currencies EURO/USD to determine the implied currency appreciation or depreciation of an interest rate forward futures contract. Exchange rate risk is related to the appreciation or the depreciation of a currency relevant to...
