A New Test for Rational Speculative Bubbles using Forward Exchange Rates: The Case of the Interwar German Hyperinflation

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a new method for bubble detection, which does not require the specification of the process followed by fundamentals, it is not affected by a possible explosive root of the determinants of the asset price, and provides a date-stamping strategy.

The forward rate unbiasedness hypothesis revisited

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that while using longer-term (1-year) forward exchange rates are also more suitable than shorter-term rates for testing the forward exchange rate unbiasedness hypothesis (FRUH) the test is sensitive to the choice of the numeraire currency, i.e. the US dollar, the Deutsche mark (DM) or the Japanese yen.

Long Memory Regressors and Predictive Testing: A Two-stage Rebalancing Approach

TL;DR: This paper proposed a two-step procedure that rebalances the predictive regression by fractionally differencing the predictor based on a first-stage estimation of the memory parameter, which can yield improved power over cases in which an integer order is assumed for the regressor.
