Abstract

In this note we examine an implication of the cointegration literature for the efficiency of foreign exchange markets. In particular, if foreign exchange markets are efficient, then two spot exchange rates cannot be cointegrated. This proposition is tested for 10 dollar bilateral exchange rates over the period January 1973–December 1985.
