Comparing the performance of time series models for forecasting exchange rate

In this paper an attempt has been made to compare different time series models to forecast exchange rate. A survey of literature shows that continuous debate is going on whether exchange rate follows a random walk or it can be modeled; there is also a debate whether one should use structural models...

description In this paper an attempt has been made to compare different time series models to forecast exchange rate. A survey of literature shows that continuous debate is going on whether exchange rate follows a random walk or it can be modeled; there is also a debate whether one should use structural models or time series models to forecast exchange rate. Paper uses Box-Jenkins methodology for building ARIMA model, exponential smoothing, naïve 1 and naïve 2 models. Sample data for the paper were taken from September 1985 to June 2006, out of which data till December 2002 were used to build the model while remaining data points were used to do out of sample forecasting and check the forecasting ability of the model.
