Evaluating corporate executives' exchange rate forecasts under a flexible loss function

Abstract

We examine asymmetry in the loss function of corporate executives in their exchange rate forecasts and test for rationality of the forecast under the assumption of a possibly asymmetric loss function. We find evidence that the loss function of the forecast with a 1-year horizon is symmetric and support for rationality. These findings hold for manufacturing and nonmanufacturing sectors.
