An Empirical Examination of Risk Premiums in the Indian Currency Futures Market

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined whether risk premiums are significant in explaining the deviations from the uncovered interest rate parity (UIP) condition in an emerging Indian currency futures market and explored the unbiasedness of futures quotes as a predictor of the future spot exchange rate to understand the forward premium anomaly condition.

Can skewness of the futures‐spot basis predict currency spot returns?

TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between skewness of the futures-spot basis and expected currency spot returns was examined and the empirical results showed that the expected spot returns are negatively correlated with the basis skew.

Distribution of the Estimators for Autoregressive Time Series with a Unit Root

TL;DR: In this article, the limit distributions of the estimator of p and of the regression t test are derived under the assumption that p = ± 1, where p is a fixed constant and t is a sequence of independent normal random variables.

Conditional Skewness in Asset Pricing Tests

TL;DR: In this article, the authors formalize this intuition with an asset pricing model that incorporates conditional skewness and show that the low expected return momentum portfolios have higher skewnness than high expected return portfolios.

Forward and spot exchange rates

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors find that most of the variation in forward rates is variation in premium, and the premium and expected future spot rate components of forward rates are negatively correlated, and they conclude that the forward market is not efficient or rational.
