The simple market efficiency hypothesis implies that prediction errors, such as forward less spot exchange rates, will be orthogonal to elements of the information set. One can therefore test for market efficiency via ordinary least squares by regressing the prediction errors on pieces of...

Chapter one provides a new estimator for the ordered polychotomous model. The estimator is based on the use of the average of the standard normal densities with different means as a parametric approximation to the density of the error term. The method also, for the first time, provides a...

The large-sample behavior of one-period-ahead and multiperiod-ahead predictors for a dynamic nonlinear simultaneous system is examined in this paper. Conditional on final values of the endogenous variables, the asymptotic moments of the deterministic, closed-form, Monte Carlo stochastic, and...
