Reasons for Deviations from Interest Rate Parity

2024-01-17 15:09:31 UTC

Current forward exchange rate can be viewed as the market’s consensus forecast of the future exchange rate based on the available information (It) if the foreign exchange markets are efficient

linhdths173107 — 2024-01-17 15:11:21 UTC

All relevant information is already reflected in the current exchange rate.

linhdths173107 — 2024-01-17 15:12:22 UTC

Includes factors such as money supplies, inflation rates, trade balances, and output growth.

If the exchange rate follows a random walk and all information is already reflected in the current rate, the expectation of the future exchange rate is considered to be equal to the current exchange rate

At odds with the efficient market approach

it does not use the key economic variables, like money supplies or trade balances, for purpose of forecasting

maivtxha170004 — 2024-01-17 15:19:39 UTC

Two examples of technical analysis:

The fundamental approach uses various formal models of exchange rate determination for forecasting purposes.

2024-01-17 15:19:43 UTC

For example, the monetary approach to exchange rate determination suggests that the exchange rate is determined by three independent (explanatory) variables: (i) relative money supplies, (ii)relative velocity of monies, and (iii) relative national outputs.

Evidence on PPP

hieulnhs170859 — 2024-01-17 15:32:05 UTC

As long as there are nontradables (for example, haircuts, housing, etc.), PPP will not hold in its absolute version

hieulnhs170859 — 2024-01-17 15:34:17 UTC

If PPP holds for tradables and the relative prices between tradables and nontradables are maintained, then PPP can hold in its relative version

hieulnhs170859 — 2024-01-17 15:34:52 UTC

One can thus formulate the monetary approach in the following empirical form:

linhdths173107 — 2024-01-17 15:39:46 UTC

s=α+β1(m − m*)+β2(v − v*)+β3 (y* − y)+u (6.19)

Generating forecasts using the fundamental approach would involve three steps

linhdths173107 — 2024-01-17 15:42:15 UTC

Step 1:

linhdths173107 — 2024-01-17 15:42:49 UTC

Estimation of the structural model like Equation 6.19 using historical data to determine the numerical values for the parameters such as α and β’s.

Step 2

linhdths173107 — 2024-01-17 15:44:56 UTC

Estimation of future values of the independent variables like (m − m* ), (v − v ), and (y − y).

Step 3

linhdths173107 — 2024-01-17 15:45:37 UTC

Substituting the estimated values of the independent variables from Step 2 into the estimated structural model obtained from Step 1 to generate the exchange rate forecasts.

maivtxha170004 — 2024-01-17 16:02:59 UTC

It is virtually impossible for banks in general to outperform the random walk model. However, some banks perform significantly better than the random walk model, especially in the long run.
