Model uncertainty and the Forward Premium Puzzle

TL;DR: In this article, the Forward Premium Puzzle was studied in a setting where investors doubt the specification of their models, and thus engage in robust portfolio strategies, and it was shown that an empirically plausible concern for model misspecification can explain the forward premium puzzle.

Dynamic allocations for currency futures under switching regimes signals

TL;DR: This work presents a methodology that enhances CT performance significantly and constructed backtests show that the mean-semivolatility ratio can be more than doubled with respect to benchmark CT.

Interest differentials and extreme support for uncovered interest rate parity

TL;DR: In this article, the authors address two findings from the empirical literature testing uncovered interest parity (UIP): (i) more favorable results when interest differentials (IDs) are large and (ii) instability across samples.

The PPP View of Multihorizon Currency Risk Premiums

TL;DR: In this article, the weak form of PPP is incorporated into a joint model of the stochastic discount factor, the nominal exchange rate, and domestic and foreign yield curves.

Are Exchange Rates Excessively Volatile? and What Does "Excessively Volatile" Mean, Anyway?

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply recent tests of asset price volatility to re-examine whether exchange rates have been excessively volatile with respect to the predictions of the monetary model of the exchange rate and of standard extensions that allow for sticky prices, sluggish money adjustment, and time-varying risk premia.

Robert E. Lucas
- 01 Nov 1978 -
