This paper examines the determinants of the Euro/US Dollar exchange rate during the 2003-2011 period to investigate the possible effects of the financial crisis on dynamics of the Euro-Dollar rate.

In line with some behavioral finance insights, we find that when comparing pre-crisis and post crisis periods there are noticeable differences in agents’ attitudes across the three trading time zones in terms of asymmetric reactions, over/under-reactions to news, policies and fundamentals variables
