Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

A Hidden Markov Chain (HMC) is applied to study the forward premium puzzle. The weekly quotient of the interest rate differential divided by the log exchange rate change is modeled as a Hidden Markov process. Compared with existing standard approaches, the Hidden Markov approach allows a detailed analysis of the puzzle on a day-to-day basis while taking into full account the presence of noise in the observations. Two and three state models are investigated. A three-state HMC model performs better than two-state models. Application of the three-state model reveals that the above quotient is mostly zero, and hence leads to the rejection of the uncovered interest rate parity hypothesis.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
