Exchange Rates as Exchange Rate Common Factors
Nelson Mark
No 11, Working Papers from University of Notre Dame, Department of Economics
Abstract:
Factor analysis performed on a panel of 23 nominal exchange rates from January 1999 to December 2010 yields three common factors. This paper identifies the euro/dollar, Swiss- franc/dollar and yen/dollar exchange rates as empirical counterparts to these common factors. These empirical factors explain a large proportion of exchange rate variation over time and have significant in-sample and out-of-sample predictive power.
