Evidence on the UIP
Bilson (1981), Longworth (1981), and Meese and Rogoff (1983), that demonstrate that as a predictor of future exchange rate movements, the interest rate premium is at best useless and at worst perverse. Find that the vast majority of estimates suggest that relatively low-interest-rate currencies actually depreciate over time. In other words, opportunistic borrowers in these currencies would benefit not only from lower interest costs during the life of their loans but also by being able to repay these loans with relatively less expensive foreign currency in the future
Chinn and Meredith (2004) point out, virtually all empirical analyses consider relatively short-term interest rates and corresponding currency movements. The results are more consistent with the UIP, they are perhaps best interpreted as failing to provide additional evidence against the UIP rather than providing evidence in favor of it. In any case, given the overwhelming body of evidence against the UIP that has been built up over decades of research, even well-informed borrowers would seem to have ample reason to doubt that their potential interest costs savings from opportunistic uncovered FC debt issuance would be offset by foreign exchange losses when they ultimately went to repay their foreign currency principal at maturity.
