This paper investigates international co-movement in bond yields by testing for uncovered interest parity (UIP). Existing work is supplemented by focusing on long instead of short-term interest rates and by employing exchange rate expectations derived from purchasing power parity (PPP) instead of actual outcomes. Among the major currencies during 1975-97, the paper does not find a further increase in co-movement

This note focuses on uncovered interest parity (UIP) in the short and medium run using survey-based exchange rate expectations. Analysing the major world currencies over the period 1985-1998 the paper finds that the validity of the UIP relation increases with the term of the investment, thereby supporting the theoretical notions developed by literature.

Using a panel data approach and three different credibility measures, the authors argue that unemployment, inflation, and budget deficits in participating countries have affected the credibility of the exchange rate mechanism of the European Monetary System. In contrast to most previous research, which focuses upon the credibility of exchange rate policies of individual member states, the analysis focuses upon the

We show that within Bertola and Svensson's second-generation target zone model, mean-reverting interventions and endogenous devaluation risk are closely interrelated. Over the period 1983-93 we analyze the degree of mean reversion in the underlying fundamental process as well as the term structure of interest rate differentials vis-a-vis Germany for six Exchange Rate Mechanism currencies. For Austria, Denmark and the Netherlands,
