The objective of the paper is to test the theory that forward spot markets are rational forecasts of future spot rates by studying data from Indian exchange markets over various forecast horizons ranging from one to twelve months. The time period is from August 2008 to 31 December 2013. The study found that there is high degree of correlation between the expected value of future spot rates calculated on the basis of Interest Rate Parity theory and the actual spot rate at the time of expiry of the derivative contract. The results of regression analysis shows that the actual spot rate at the time of expiry of the derivative contract is determined by the expected value of future spot rates, calculated on the basis of Interest Rate Parity theory. The empirical exercise also shows that the interest rate parity theorem helps in determining INR USD exchange rate (the future expected spot rate).

<p>¿Cuáles son los mecanismos de transmisión que determinan a la tasa de interés neutral que sirve de referencia para establecer la postura de política monetaria del Banco Central? Se analiza el papel de la tasa de desocupación y la inflación en la determinación de la tasa de interés neutral. La conclusión es que el Banco de México podría tomar una postura de política monetaria más expansiva sin generar presiones inflacionarias. La tasa de interés se calcula con: 1) la regla de Taylor y un sistema de ecuaciones simultáneas cointegrado y 2) la paridad de tasas de interés. Los resultados sugieren que la tasa de interés neutral cambia a través de dos mecanismos: 1) de manera indirecta cuando se presenta una variación en la tasa de desocupación, lo que genera un cambio en la inflación y, por tanto, un desplazamiento de la tasa neutral, y 2) de manera directa cuando hay una reducción en la brecha del producto interno bruto.</p><p> </p><p align="center">ESTIMATION OF THE NEUTRAL INTEREST RATE, UNEMPLOYMENT AND INFLATION IN MEXICO</p><p align="center"><strong>ABSTRACT</strong></p>What are the transmission mechanisms determining the neutral rate of interest that serves as a reference to establish the monetary policy stance of the Central Bank? We analyze the role of unemployment and inflation in determining such neutral rate. We conclude that the Banco de México could take a more expansive monetary policy stance without generating inflationary pressures. The rate is calculated using two methods: 1) the Taylor rule and a cointegrated simultaneous equations system and 2) the interest rate parity. Our results suggest that the neutral interest rate changes through two mechanisms: 1) indirectly when there is a variation in the unemployment rate, which generates a change in inflation and, therefore, a shift in the neutral rate and 2) directly when there is a reduction in the Gross Domestic Product gap.
