Book Expectations and the Foreign Exchange Market

Download or read book Expectations and the Foreign Exchange Market written by Craig Hakkio and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-04-21 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1984. This book examines two important dimensions of efficiency in the foreign exchange market using econometric techniques. It responds to the macroeconomics trend to re-examining the theories of exchange rate determination following the erratic behaviour of exchange rates in the late 1970s. In particular the text looks at the relation between spot and forward exchange rates and the term structure of the forward premium, both of which require a joint test of market efficiency and the equilibrium model. Approaches used are the regression of spot rates on lagged forward rates and an explicit time series analysis of the spot and forward rates, using data from Canada, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Germany.

Book Risk Premia in Forward Foreign Exchange Markets

Download or read book Risk Premia in Forward Foreign Exchange Markets written by Prasad V. Bidarkota and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We investigate time varying risk premia in forward dollar/pound monthly exchange rates over the last two decades. We study this issue using a signal plus noise model and separately using regression techniques. Our models account for time varying volatility and non-normalities in the observed series. Our signal plus noise model fails to isolate a statistically significant risk premium component whereas our regression model does. We attribute the discrepancy in the results from the two methods to the low power of the signal plus noise model in discriminating between a time varying risk premium component and a serially uncorrelated spot exchange rate expectational error. An important reason for the low power of the signal plus noise model is its failure to use information on current period forward rates in extracting the risk premium.

Book The Foreign Exchange Market

Download or read book The Foreign Exchange Market written by Richard T. Baillie and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1989 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The flotation of exchange rates in the early 1970s saw a significant increase in the importance of foreign exchange markets and in the interest shown in them. Apart from the consequent institutional changes, this period also witnessed a revolution in macroeconomic analysis and finance theory based on the concept of rational expectations. This book provides an integrated approach to recent developments in the understanding of foreign exchange markets. It begins by charting the institutional background and looks at the recent history of movements in some of the major exchange rates. The theoretical sections focus on the economic and finance theory of the asset market approach, the macroeconomic models developed from this approach, and on interest rate parity theory. The empirical chapters draw on the authors' own research from a high quality set of exchange rate and interest rate data. The statistical properties of exchange rates are analysed; the relationship between spot and forward rates is examined; and the modelling and impact of new information on the forward and spot relationship is considered. The final chapter is devoted to the estimation and testing of exchange rate models.

Book An Explanation of the Forward Premium Puzzle

Download or read book An Explanation of the Forward Premium Puzzle written by Shu Yan and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Existing literature reports an empirical puzzle about the foreign exchange forward premium, the spread between the forward rate and the concurrently-observed spot exchange rate. The premium is often negatively correlated with subsequent changes in the spot rate. This defies economic intuition and possibly violates market efficiency. Various explanations have been offered, ranging from non-stationary risk premia through econometric mis-specifications. Some researchers have accepted the puzzle as a fact of inefficient foreign exchange markets, a phenomenon that provides profitable trading opportunities. We suggest there is really no puzzle at all. The simplest conceivable model adequately fits the data; forward exchange rates are unbiased predictors of subsequent spot rates. The puzzle has arisen because (a) the forward rate, the spot rate, and the forward premium all follow non-stationary (or nearly so) time series processes, and (b) the forward rate is a noisy predictor. We document these features with an extended sample and show how they can give the delusion of a puzzle.
