This paper proposes a novel method of exchange rate forecasting. We extend the present value model based on observable fundamentals by including three unobserved fundamentals: credit-market, financial-market, and price-market sentiments. We develop a method of sentiments extraction from Google Trends data on searched queries for different markets. Our method is based on evolutionary algorithms of variable selection and principal component analysis (PCA). Our results show that the extended vector autoregressive model (VAR) which includes markets' sentiment, shows better forecasting capabilities than the model based solely on fundamental variables or the random walk model (naïve forecast).

The paper analyses the long-run (steady-state) output and price stability of a small, open economy which adopts a “crawling-peg” type of exchange-rate regime in the presence of various kinds of random shocks. Analytical and simulation results suggest that with the exception of money demand shocks, an exchange rate policy which involves a relatively higher rate of indexation of the exchange rate to price level is likely to lead to the worsening of price stability for all types of shocks. On the other hand, the impact of adopting such a policy on output stability depends on the type of the shock; for policy shocks to the exchange rate and shocks to output demand, output stability is worsened whereas for the shocks to risk premium of domestic assets, supply price of domestic output and the wage rate, better output stability is achieved in the long run.

The steep rise in German house prices in recent years raises the question of whether a speculative bubble has already emerged. Using a modified present-value model, we estimate the size of speculative house price bubbles in the German housing market. We do not find evidence for positive bubble accumulation in recent years, and interpret the current bullish run as reflecting the correction of house prices that have been undervalued for more than 10 years. With house prices close to their fair values as of 2018:Q1, our answer to the question is, ‘Not yet, but it is likely soon’.
