Tests of Covered Interest Rate Parity
ECEN’FLY there has been considerable interest in and investigations of whether the covered interest parity (CIP) holds. At the inicroeconomic level, CIP is important because is it a direct consequence of covered interest arbitrage. Its failure to hold would suggest 1) that markets are inefficient in the sense that traders do not take advantage of known profit opportunities, 2) that legal restri...
متن کاملNonlinear Interest Rate Dynamics and Implications for the Term Structure
This paper explores nonlinear dynamics for the time series of the short term interest rate in the United States. The proposed model is an autoregressive threshold model augmented by conditional heteroskedasticity. The performance of the model is evaluated by considering its implications for the term structure of interest rates. The nonlinear dynamics imply a form of nonlin-earity in the levels ...
متن کاملTesting Uncovered Interest Rate Parity Using LIBOR
We test Uncovered Interest Parity (UIP) using LIBOR interest rates for a wide range of maturities. In contrast to other markets, LIBOR markets have minimal frictions which could lead to rejecting UIP. Using panel unit root test suggested by Palm, Smeekes, and Urbain (2010) and cointegration techniques by Westerlund (2007), we find that UIP holds for shortterm maturities, when market-specific he...
متن کاملWeak Interest Rate Parity and Currency Portfolio Diversification
This paper presents a dynamic model of optimal currency returns with a hidden Markov regime switching process. We postulate a weak form of interest rate parity that the hedged risk premiums on currency investments are identical within each regime across all currencies. Both the in-sample and the out-ofsample data during January 2002 March 2005 strongly support this hypothesis. Observing past as...
متن کاملUncovered Interest Rate Parity and the Term Structure
This paper examines uncovered interest rate parity (UIRP) and the expectations hypotheses of the term structure (EHTS) at both short and long horizons. The statistical evidence against UIRP is mixed and is currencynot horizon-dependent. Economically, the deviations from UIRP are less pronounced than previously documented. The evidence against the EHTS is statistically more uniform, but, economi...
