Abstract
Economists and financial experts are always looking for ways to predict the behavior of economic and financial variables such as exchange rates. Many studies have been done on structural models and forecasting time series of exchange rates. However, predicting the exchange rate has always been a complex issue and has become a challenge to the modeling the exchange rates among international finance researchers and econometric experts. In this study, first a combination of structural models and time series models using the genetic algorithm are presented. Then, the performance of structural models will be compared to single time series model and to the other combination methods such as the use of averages approach. The results show that the genetic algorithm combined model, among other methods of forecasting exchange rates, has a higher accuracy.
