Abstract

The paper investigates the dynamic behavior of exchange rates expectations using four different currencies. The test follows developments advanced by Fernández-Rodri­guez et al. [Fernández-Rodri­guez, F., Sosvilla-Rivero, S., Andrada-Félix, J., 2005. Testing chaotic dynamics via Lyapunov exponents. Journal of Applied Econometrics, 20, 911-930.]. The evidence, however, does not favor the presence of chaotic dynamics in exchange rate expectations.
