Exchange rate market efficiency: across and within countries

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted on the efficiency of exchange rates among and within G-7 countries for the year 1973 to 1996 using the cointegration method. Efficiency among countries was obtained when there was no co-movement in the spot and future exchange rates. However, within countries efficiency is only found when co-movement of rates occurs. Inefficiency was also found because there was no movement in both the depreciation rates and future premiums.

The social cost of entry contest in Cournot-Bash oligopoly

Article Abstract:

In an oligopoly or partial deregulation of entry barriers, social welfare is reduced where incumbents and potential entrants compete during the deregulation process, one side applying for a license and the other denying the application. If no license is issued the regulation regime remains the same, otherwise the entrants compete against one another if just a few are issued.
