- Abstract
- This paper uses recently developed kernel smoothing regression procedures and uniform confidence bounds to investigate the forward premium anomaly. These new statistical methods estimate the local time-varying slope coefficient of the regression of spot returns on the lagged interest rate differential. Uniform confidence bands are used to test when uncovered interest parity is violated. The estimated betas in the forward premium smoothed regression are found to vary substantially over time and to be partially explicable in terms of lagged fundamentals and money growth volatilities arising from risk premium. Frequentist model averaging procedures indicate the relative importance of these variables in terms of explaining movements in the betas and hence the apparent causes of regimes where UIP fails.
