摘要
This study attempts to provide empirical evidence on the Uncovered Interest Rate Parity (UIRP) theory with Malaysia taken as a case study. Though theoretically sound, the UIRP does not seem to hold well empirically. Using quarterly data spanned from the first quarter of 1998 to the third quarter of 2010, the empirical results revealed the violation of the UIRP theory. This indicates that there is a possibility of arbitrage opportunity between Malaysia and the studied markets (Japan, Singapore and United Kingdom) due to the violation of Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH). The study also found the absence of the forward premium puzzle in any cases. (C) 2012 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
