How should we evaluate the forecasting power of models? What are
appropriate loss functions for major market participants? Is the
exchange rate the only means of adjustment? Handbook of Exchange
Rates answers these questions and many more, equipping readers
with the relevant concepts and policies for working in
today’s international economic climate.
Featuring contributions written by leading specialists from the
global financial arena, this handbook provides a collection of
original ideas on foreign exchange (FX) rates in four succinct
sections:
* Overview introduces the history of the FX market
and exchange rate regimes, discussing key instruments in the
trading environment as well as macro and micro approaches to FX
determination.
* Exchange Rate Models and Methods focuses on
forecasting exchange rates, featuring methodological contributions
on the statistical methods for evaluating forecast performance,
parity relationships, fair value models, and flow-based
models.
* FX Markets and Products outlines active currency
management, currency hedging, hedge accounting; high frequency and
algorithmic trading in FX; and FX strategy-based products.
* FX Markets and Policy explores the current
policies in place in global markets and presents a framework for
analyzing financial crises.
Throughout the book, topics are explored in-depth alongside
their founding principles. Each chapter uses real-world examples
from the financial industry and concludes with a summary that
outlines key points and concepts.
Handbook of Exchange Rates is an essential reference for
fund managers and investors as well as practitioners and
researchers working in finance, banking, business, and
econometrics. The book also serves as a valuable supplement for
courses on economics, business, and international finance at the
upper-undergraduate and graduate levels.
