Description |
Forward exchange rate bias explanation generally falls into two categories – assumption of rational expectation resulting in a risk premium and expectation errors which is systematic. The paper tests the bias in the Indian forward exchange markets using one-month and three month forward contracts. The study finds that the three month contracts have larger prediction errors than the one-month contracts. The paper also finds that the prediction errors have information content which leads to assume the presence of risk premium. The study also finds that one-month contracts have lesser variability in risks vis-à-vis the three month contracts.
