This paper outlines a simple framework for testing some of the underlying concepts which form the basis of a number of recent models of exchange rate determination. It estimates a structural exchange rate equation with explicit forward expectations using the Wickens errors‐in‐variables method. The paper finds a strong rejection of the simple open arbitrage model in favour of a more complex model.
