Comparative Forecasting Performance of Symmetric and Asymmetric Conditional Volatility Models of an Exchange Rate

The relative out-of-sample forecasting quality of symmetric and asymmetric conditional volatility models of an exchange rate differs according to the symmetric and asymmetric evaluation criteria as well as a regression-based test of efficiency. Both symmetric and asymmetric forecast competitors of currency volatility are biased and systematically overpredict volatility.
