Nonparametric estimation of structural models for high-frequency currency market data
Abstract
Empirical modeling of high-frequency currency market data reveals substantial evidence
for nonnormality, stochastic volatility, and other nonlinearities. This paper investigates
whether an equilibrium monetary model can account for nonlinearities in weekly data.
The model incorporates time-nonseparable preferences and a transaction cost technology.
Simulated sample paths are generated using Marcet's parameterized expectations procedure.
The paper also develops a new method for estimation of structural economic models.
The method forces the model to match (under a GMM criterion) the score function of
a nonparametric estimate of the conditional density of observed data. The estimation
uses weekly U.S.-German currency market data, 1975-90. © 1995.
