摘要：In this paper we propose a novel empirical extension of the standard market
microstructure order .ow model. The main idea is that heterogeneity of beliefs in
the foreign exchange market can cause model instability and such instability has
not been fully accounted for in the existing empirical literature. We investigate
this issue using two di¤erent data sets and focusing on out- of-sample forecasts.
Forecasting power is measured using standard statistical tests and, additionally,
using an alternative approach based on measuring the economic value of forecasts
after building a portfolio of assets. We .nd there is a substantial economic value on
conditioning on the proposed models.
