Abstract

Abstract In this paper the author analyzes the behavior of exchange rates expectations for four currencies, by considering a re-calculation and an extension of Resende and Zeidan (Expectations and chaotic dynamics: empirical evidence on exchange rates, Economics Letters, 2008). Considering Lyapunov exponent-based tests results, they are not supportive of chaos in exchange rates expectations, although the so-called 0–1 test strongly supports the chaos hypothesis.

Highlights

  • Resende and Zeidan (2008) test for deterministic chaos in exchange rates expectations for four currencies, by means of Fernandez-Rodrıguez et al (2005) test, F SA hereafer

  • Given a time series of length T, {yt}Tt=1, F SA suggest the estimation of the dominant Lyapunov exponent, λ, to be the bootstrap aggregation, or bagging, of 100 block bootstrap samples of the largest Lyapunov exponents

  • Tests statistics are computed for each frequency, the cut-off value is set to ncut = 17, as suggested by Gottwald and Melbourne (2009)
