A sudden crash in the foreign exchange market can wipe out a lot of value for the investors in the market. The present study analyzes crashes in the Indian foreign exchange market using Log-Periodic Power Law during1997- 2011.The fall in prices in Indian foreign exchange market is less than required due to the fact that, though there is full current account convertibility, there still are restrictions on capital account convertibility. Further, the Central Bank intervenes in the foreign exchange market to influence the exchange rate of Rupee. Log-Periodic Power Law will be more applicable in a situation where there will be no restrictions and controls on exchange rate determination.

Abstract


A sudden crash in the foreign exchange market can wipe out a lot of value for the investors in the market. The present study analyzes crashes in the Indian foreign exchange market using Log-Periodic Power Law during1997- 2011.The fall in prices in Indian foreign exchange market is less than required due to the fact that, though there is full current account convertibility, there still are restrictions on capital account convertibility. Further, the Central Bank intervenes in the foreign exchange market to influence the exchange rate of Rupee. Log-Periodic Power Law will be more applicable in a situation where there will be no restrictions and controls on exchange rate determination.
