Are Forward Rates Free of the Risk Premium?

An Empirical Examination

Pages 49-60 | Published online: 29 May 2012
 

Abstract

We revisit the controversial risk premium hypothesis (RPH) using survey data on exchange rate expectations, and the Phillips-Hansen fully modified ordinary least squares procedure. This allows us to conduct an unrestricted cointegration analysis and also differentiate between strong (bivariate) and weak (multivariate) from of RPH. The no risk premium hypothesis is rejected across the board for both data sets and over all forecast horizons. [F31]
