Expectations Hypothesis |
0.02 sec. |
Expectations Hypothesis A theory that forward exchange rates or forward interest rates for some future date are equal to the spot rates for that date. The hypothesis only functions in the absence of a risk premium. Critics contend that the evidence shows that the expectations hypothesis is not borne out in actual trading. It is also called an unbiased predictor or the unbiased expectations hypothesis. How to thank TFD for its existence?

| Using both threshold ARCH and vector autoregression frameworks, we find that for all countries except Germany, the forecasting error has decreased for interest rates on the respective government bonds across most maturity lengths, and that the expectations hypothesis has performed better at the short end of the yield curve. To derive a simplified model, I employ the rational expectations hypothesis and the innovation accounting and vector autoregressive methods. A more obscure theme is rational expectations; more precisely, the inappropriateness of the rational expectations hypothesis. |
