Abstract: | Since the adoption of flexible exchange rates in 1970s, tests of foreign exchange rate efficiency have abounded. This paper shows that the random walk hypothesis is not rejected for the £/$ annual real exchange rate has mean revearting tendencies due to PPP, frequent and strong shocks to the nominal exchange rate assure that the series follows a random walk since these shocks directly influence real exchange rates. |
