Testing for efficiency and rationality in foreign exchange markets—a review of the literature and research on foreign exchange market efficiency and rationality with comments
This paper specifies two VAR models for testing efficiency and expectations in foreign exchange markets. The sufficient conditions for efficiency and rational expectations, by imposing restrictions on the VAR parameters, are derived. Based on these models, issues on testing efficiency and rationality are discussed with reference to previous empirical studies in the area. 2002 Elsevier Science...
متن کاملForeign Exchange Market Efficiency Tests in South Africa
Are frequent changes in freely floating exchange rates attributable to stabilising speculation reflecting changes in the fundamental determinants of currencies; or to destabilising behaviour of various kinds, driving prices away from fundamentals, and creating "excess" volatility? This paper, motivated by the need to assess appropriate tests for efficiency for the growing range of liberalised a...
متن کاملTesting Rational Expectations and Efficiency in the Foreign Exchange Market
Forward and spot exchange rates are modelled as an unrestricted bivariate autoregression from weekly data on the New York foreign exchange market for June, 1973 to April, 1980. The null hypothesis that the forward exchange rate is an unbiased estimate of the corresponding future spot exchange rate is tested by means of a nonlinear Wald test and is rejected for all six currencies considered. The...
متن کاملEfficiency of Foreign Exchange Markets: a Developing Country Perspective
This study tests weak and semi-strong form efficiency of the foreign exchange market in Sri Lanka during the recent float using six bilateral exchange rates. Weak-form efficiency is examined using unit root tests while semi-strong form efficiency is tested using co-integration, Granger causality tests and variance decomposition analysis. Results indicate that the Sri Lankan foreign exchange mar...
متن کاملTiming Foreign Exchange Markets
Priced level, slope, and volatility risk factors recently proposed in the finance literature help explain long-standing puzzles related to the cross-section of carry trade returns. In this paper, we examine whether the information contained in these global factors allows foreign exchange market speculators in individual currencies to successfully time the direction of their carry trades, both w...
