Table shows variance ratios calculated on the Lothian-Taylor data along with asymptotic standard The point estimates display a hump shape. They initially rise above 1 at short horizons then fall below 1 at the longer horizons. This is a pattern often found with financial data. The variance ratio falls below 1 because of a preponderance of negative autocorrelations at the longer horizons. This means that a current jump in the real exchange rate tends to be offset by future changes in the opposite direction. Such movements are characteristic of mean-reverting processes. Even at the 20 year horizon however the point estimates indicate that 23 percent of the variance of the dollar-pound real exchange rate 8Huizinga 77 calculated variance ratio statistics for the real exchange rate from 1974 to 1986 while Grilli and Kaminisky 68 did so for the real dollar pound rate from 1884 to 1986 as well as over various subperiods. 222 CHAPTER 7.

The asymptotic standard errors tend to overstate the precision of the variance ratios in small samples. That being said even at the 20 year horizon VR20 for the dollar-pound rate is using the asymptotic standard error significantly greater than 0 which implies the presence of a permanent .
