''The profitability of technical analysis in the Taiwan-U.S. forward foreign exchange market'' |
( 2011, Vol. 31 No.2 ) |
|
|
Based on technical analysis and White's and Hansen's data-snooping-robust tests, we examine the efficiency of the Taiwan-U.S. forward foreign exchange market and find that, unlike the spot market, the forward market is inefficient even under a very high transaction cost, suggesting that the failure of forward rate unbiasedness documented in the literature may be due to forward market inefficiency. |
