Empirical studies of the foreign exchange market using surveys of exchange rate expectations are becoming increasingly common. However, most of these studies conclude that the short-term behavior of currency markets is inconsistent with neoclassical characterization and argue that the focus should instead be on the long run. The present paper, on the other hand, treats surveys of foreign exchange as an important tool for understanding the short-run activity of currency markets. In particular, it tests the results of these surveys as a dependent variable.
The pooled empirical study of the foreign exchange market
A pooled empirical study of the foreign exchange market has important implications for international financial policy and investment. The currency pairs that are included in the study are the US Dollar USD, British Pound Sterling (GBP), Japanese Yen (JPY), Turkish Lira (TRY), and Euro (EUR). The study shows that there is little literature on the vulnerability of BRICS economies’ exchange rates, but this research fills that gap. It uses appropriate econometric techniques and a newly developed measure of exchange market vulnerability. This measure combines observed exchange rate changes with the changes that are prevented by central bank intervention. The new measure is expressed as a percentage and has important implications for investors and policymakers.
The results also demonstrate that the daily log returns of all currencies have similar statistical patterns, despite their different functions. In addition, the underlying structure of the currency exchange rates resembles the Laplace distribution at a semi-log scale. This suggests that traditional and virtual currencies have similar functional forms.
Comparison of properties of exchange rate returns of traditional
This paper examines the distributional and statistical regularities of exchange rate returns of traditional and virtual currencies. The study is conducted over the period from October 2015 to December 2018. The empirical results reveal that the daily log returns of all the currencies share the same functional form, the Laplace distribution, on a semi-log scale. This distribution has been extensively studied in other fields of economics. These empirical results also suggest that the functional form of traditional and virtual currencies is similar, although there are key differences between the two.
Virtual
There is an increasing academic interest in the foreign exchange market. This is a huge market, with a massive amount of money flowing in and out of it. Despite the growing interest, there are still many questions. In particular, this article will consider how the foreign exchange market affects virtual currencies.
The first question is: Why do these currencies experience such extreme volatility? A study of traditional and virtual currency exchange rates has found that the prices are roughly correlated. The study also shows that virtual currencies have higher volatility than the traditional currency market. This may be as per a large number of entries into the market in the past years.
Intra-virtual
This study investigates the dynamics of virtual currency exchange rates over time. Because virtual currencies are so new, the comparison of their prices with traditional ones has proven to be a challenging task. We have investigated the frequency of exchange rates in both traditional and virtual currencies by using daily log returns. However, it is not even clear whether these two types of currencies are comparable on an intra-day basis.
The log returns of each currency are plotted, and we find that the daily log returns all show the characteristic tent shape of a Laplace distribution on a semi-log scale. Although the shape of the distribution is less extreme for virtual currencies, the overall shape is similar. The daily log returns of USD/BTC are the most consistent, albeit with a few extremes on the right-hand side.
Actual currencies
The foreign exchange market is the world’s largest market for buying and selling currencies. Its trading takes place between multiple types of buyers and sellers. Since currencies always remain traded in pairs, the exchange rate for each currency is determined by its relative value. This market is largely unregulated, and there is no central body to oversee the transactions.
Historically, merchants required foreign currency to settle trades. Today, the foreign exchange market is used by investors for risk management, arbitrage, and speculative gain. Currency prices are influenced by financial flows, especially interest rate differentials, which attract yield-driven capital. The foreign exchange market is often viewed as a referendum on the health of a country’s economy and government policy.
