Non-Linear Dependence in ASEAN-5 Foreign Exchange Rates: An Insight from a Battery of Non-Linearity Tests

The main purpose of this study is to provide a deeper insight into the non-linear generating mechanism in the ASEAN-5 exchange rate returns series. To achieve that end, the differing power of the non-linear tests against certain alternatives is utilized. Specifically, the BDS and Hinich bispectru...

Non-Linear Dependence in ASEAN-5 Foreign Exchange Rates: An Insight from a Battery of Non-Linearity Tests
description The main purpose of this study is to provide a deeper insight into the non-linear generating mechanism in the ASEAN-5 exchange rate returns series. To achieve that end, the differing power of the non-linear tests against certain alternatives is utilized. Specifically, the BDS and Hinich bispectrum tests are employed which provide valuable information on the adequacy of the current framework of ARCH-type models in capturing the non-linear dynamics in ASEAN-5 currencies. Daily data is used in this study covering the period from 1 990 to March 200 1 . The five ASEAN countries selected are Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines. The results from the BDS test indicate strong evidences of non-linearity in the ASEAN-5 exchange rate series. However, this conveys little information on the nature of the detected non-linearity since the BDS test has high power against vast class of alternatives. Further application of the Hinich bispectrum test can provide valuable non-linear identification information, in which the results reveal strong evidences against the adequacy of the ARCH-type models in explaining the nonlinear dynamics in ASEAN-5 exchange rate series. The evidences of non-linearity in ASEAN-5 currencies have profound implications on the validity of weak-form market efficient hypothesis, model adequacy as well as the pricing of future derivatives.
