An Empirical Examination of the Post Keynesian View of Forward Exchange Rates
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper examines the Post Keynesian proposition that the forward rate is determined by covered interest parity and that it is not a predictor of the future spot rate as suggested by the unbiased effeiciency hypothesis. One implication of the failure of unbiased effeciency is that it leads to the faliure of real interest parity, implying that the monetary authorities can control interest rates in an open economy. An extensive set of econometric tests is used to demonstrate that the spot-forward relationship is indeed contemporaneous rather than lagged, which corroborates the Post Keynesian view.

However, based on empirical evidence, the standard view is that there is considerable persistence in inflation. Consequen...
