Structural breaks in Taylor rule based exchange rate models — Evidence from threshold time varying parameter models

Economics Letters, 2017, vol. 150, issue C, 48-52

Abstract: In this note we develop a Taylor rule based empirical exchange rate model for eleven major currencies that endogenously determines the number of structural breaks in the coefficients. Using a constant parameter specification and a standard time-varying parameter model as competitors reveals that our flexible modeling framework yields more precise density forecasts for all major currencies under scrutiny over the last 24 years.
