A well-known puzzle in international finance is that fluctuations in exchange rate are very difficult to predict and existing predictive models often perform worse than the naive random walk model. In this paper, we construct an oil trend factor and find that it performs better than the naive...

The exchange rate policy considered as one of the most important macro-economic policy instruments, for it constitutes along with other policies an effective mechanism to protect the local economy from internal and external shocks. As a result, the importance of looking for the optimal model,...

In this paper, we use Google Trends data to proxy macro fundamentals that are related to two conventional structural determination of exchange rate models: purchasing power parity model and the monetary exchange rate determination model. We assess forecasting performance of Google Trends based...

We propose a simple identification scheme for the causes of the violations of uncovered interest parity. Our method uses the serial dependence patterns of excess returns as a criterion for judging performance of economic models. We show that a mean reverting component in excess returns,...

Measures of U.S. government policy approval, such as U.S. Presidential or Congressional ratings, are strongly related to persistent fluctuations in the dollar exchange rates. Contemporaneous correlations between approval ratings and the dollar value reach 50% against the advanced economy...

The main focus of this paper is to measure the speed of adjustment of the exchange rate by means of the persistent profile approach developed by Pesaran and Shin (1996) to examine the symmetry and proportionality assumptions of the purchasing power parity (PPP) theory of exchange rates for the...
