Abstract

This paper examines the relationship which exists between the spot and forward Australian/US Dollar exchange rates for one-, three-and six-month contracts using weekly data over the period January 1984—March 1987. The paper splits the forward premium into a component due to risk and one which is due to a forecasting error, and this analysis is suggestive of a time-varying risk premium.
