dc.description.abstract | Los tipos de cambio forward a uno y tres meses para un conjunto de divisas están cointegrados con tipos de cambio futuros, pero no con los tipos de cambio actuales. Mantenemos la hipótesis de insesgo como relación de cointegración entre los tipos forward y los tipos de cambio futuros, aunque la capacidad predictiva de los tipos forward a estos horizontes es muy limitada. El comportamiento de los tipos forward parece bastante consistente con impredictibilidad de los tipos de cambio. Los tipos forward parecen bastante pasivos, reflejando básicamente los tipos de cambio actuales, más que anticipando fluctuaciones futuras en los mismos. Estos resultados sugieren que reducir el análisis del contenido informativo de los tipos forward a un examen de sus relaciones de cointegración con los tipos de cambio actuales y futuros seria inapropiado. Encontramos asimismo cierta evidencia de prima de riesgo o plazo, pero de tamaño muy reducido, por 10 que los argumentos en favor de la ineficiencia de los mercados de divisas tienen cierta base teórica, pero escasa relevancia práctica. | |
dc.description.abstract | One and three-month forward exchange rates for a number of currencies seem to be cointegrated with jUture spot rates, but not with current exchange rates, We confirm the unbiasedness hypothesis as a robust cointegrating relation between forward and future spot rates, although forward rates are poor predictors of future exchange rates. The behaviour of exchange rates seems to be quite consistent with unpredictability of exchange rates. Forward rates seem to be rather passive, mostly reflecting current exchange rates, rather than anticipating future exchange rates fluctuations. These results suggest that reducing the analysis of the information content of forward rates to cointegration tests with current and future exchange rates would be misleading. We find some evidence of a risk/term premium but, being of minimium size, suggests that recent arguments on the inefficiency of currency markets are theoretically sound, but of minor empirical relevance. | |
