We consider the Taylor rule fundamentals model, where the variables that enter the Taylor rule are used to forecast exchange rate changes, and the Taylor rule differentials model, where a Taylor rule with postulated coefficients is used in the forecasting regression. We find evidence of predictability with the Taylor rule fundamentals model for 9 out of 15 countries. The Taylor rule differentials model performs worse, and the evidence of predictability is the weakest with the conventional monetary and PPP models.
