Abstract
The covered interest rate parity (CIP) states that the difference in interest rate between two identical assets, denominated in different currencies, should explain the difference between the spot price and the forward price in the foreign exchange markets. However, empirical studies have suggested that the CIP condition does not always hold. This study empirically tests the CIP condition during two periods of market turbulence, the dot.com bubble with subsequent recession (2000-2003) and the recent financial crisis (2008-2011). The deviations from CIP during these periods are compared with the deviations during a longer period of 14 to 20 years. The findings suggest that the deviations from CIP are significantly larger during the... (More)
