Abstract

The theory of informationally efficient markets ( EMIT) is applied to the foreign exchange market and some of its operational implications are illustrated. The EMIT is joined with alternative models of the equilibrium return on the foreign exchange market: the Pure Expectations Hypothesis, the Modern Theory and tentative formulations of return as a function of risk. The alternative joint Hypotheses are rejected by the data but this does not necessarily imply the rejection of EMIT. The rejection may be due to the inadequacies of the equilibrium return models used, notwithstanding the fact that the risk premium has been captured, to a certain extent, in the empirical tests and the evidence against the EMIT weakened.
