Predicting foreign exchange rates has presented a long-standing challenge for economists.

This book provides an in-depth assessment of the use of novel statistical approaches and machine learning tools in predicting foreign exchange rate movement.

Meanwhile, cereal prices remained highly protected. The 1974 Revolution, coinciding with a period of rapid inflation in Portugal and high i...
The Exchange Rate and Macroeconomic Adjustment
This publication is part of a set of 18 documents which have been prepared by H.M. Treasury to inform the assessment of the Government's five economic tests for Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) entry into the euro area. It focuses on short and medium run movements in the exchange rate and considers whether such movements tend to be a stabilising reaction to changes in aggregate supply and demand, or whether they tend to be destabilising. Issues discussed include: how exchange rate is determined and its role in the adjustment process; an interpretation of sterling's strength against the euro since 1996; and a comparison of overall exchange rate volatility inside and outside of EMU. The study contains both theoretical and empirical analysis.
