Intervention and the bid-ask spread in G-3 foreign exchange rates


Abstract: A test of whether the anticipation of G-3 (Germany, Japan and the U.S.) central-bank intervention explains wider bid-ask spreads in the spot and forward rates of marks/dollars and yen/dollars, finding little evidence to support the view that spreads widen in anticipation of intervention.
