EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS ON THE PREDICTORS OF FUTURE SPOT RATES

Abstract

This paper examines the issue of the prediction of future spot rates by applying the seemingly unrelated regression technique to four major currencies using data from January 1974 to September 1982. The empirical evidence indicates that current spot rates provide a better prediction of future spot rates than do current forward rates. In further rolling subsample studies, the estimated coefficients for current forward rates (or spot rates) are found to be sensitive to the new information. An important implication of this paper is that since the estimated coefficients vary over time, the underlying pattern of the generated coefficients should be extrapolated and incorporated into the exchange rate predictions.
