It is well documented that macroeconomic fundamentals are little help in predicting changes in the nominal exchange rates compared to the predictions made by a simple random walk. Letta and Ludvigson (2001) find that fluctuations in the common long-term trend in consumption, asset wealth, and...

We study the properties of foreign exchange risk premiums that can explain the forward bias puzzle, defined as the tendency of high-interest rate currencies to appreciate rather than depreciate. These risk premiums arise endogenously from the no-arbitrage condition relating the term structure of...

We study whether the nonlinear behavior of the real exchange rate can help us account for the lack of predictability of … nonlinear predictability of the nominal exchange rate and nonlinear behavior on the real exchange rate in the context of a fully … specified cointegrated system. Using a panel of 19 countries and three numeraires, we find evidence of nonlinear predictability …

We study the properties of foreign exchange risk premia that can explain the forward bias puzzle - the tendency of high-interest rate currencies to appreciate rather than depreciate. These risk premia arise endogenously from imposing the no-arbitrage condition on the relation between the term...

A practice that has become widespread and widely endorsed is that of evaluating forecasts of financial variability obtained from discrete time models by comparing them with high-frequency ex post estimates (e.g. realised volatility) based on continuous time theory. In explanatory financial...

Increased sovereign credit risk is often associated with sharp currency movements. Therefore, expectations of the probability of a sovereign default event can convey important information regarding future movements of exchange rates. In this paper, we investigate the possible pass-through of...

In this study, a vector autoregression (VAR) model with time-varying parameters (TVP) to predict the daily Indian rupee (INR)/US dollar (USD) exchange rates for the Indian economy is developed. The method is based on characterization of the TVP as an optimal control problem. The methodology is a...
