| Tiivistelmä: | This paper tests for the existence of long memory (hereafter as: l-m.) and structural breaks (here as: str-brk./ str-brks.) in the realized variance process for the DM/US$ and Yen/US$ exchange rates. While l-m. is evident in the actual processes, a str-brk. analysis reveals that this feature is partially explained by unaccounted changes in regime. Then, the forecasting (here as: f-g.) performance of Markov switching models is compared with that of an ARFIMA model. The results indicate that neglecting the break process is not important for very short term f-g. once it is allowed for a l-m. component in the model, but that superior forecasts can be obtained at longer horizons by modelling both l-m. and structural change. |
