Abstract
In this paper the short- and long-run movements of the Japanese yen–U.S. dollar exchange rate are modeled for the recent floating period. The modern general-to-specific approach is used as our econometric framework. In contrast to some other exchange rate studies, we attempt to interpret multiple cointegrating vectors using economic theory. Amongst our findings are sensible and significant long-run relationships and dynamic equations which describe the motion of the two exchange rates and which satisfy a battery of diagnostic tests. Our models are shown to produce good in-sample forecasting performance and also an out-of-sample forecasting performance which dominates a random walk.
