    What makes firms manage foreign exchange risk?

    From simonJ, 4 months ago Add as contact

    I made a presentation about the following paper:

    Kim, Woochan and Sung, Taeyoon, "What Makes Firms Manage FX Risk?: Evidence from an Emerging Market" (December 2004). KDI School of Pub Policy & Management Paper No. 05-01. Available at SSRN: http://ssrn.com/abstract=653422
    Abstract:
    We examine a number of factors that determine the decision of firms to manage their foreign exchange risk in an emerging market setting. Using survey data on the foreign exchange risk management practices of 223 non-financial firms in Korea, we find that firm size, a proxy for the cost of hedging, is the dominant factor. Consistent with this finding, we also find that firm size has stronger explanatory power for external methods than for internal methods, which have relatively lower costs. Our results also show that, besides firm size, export revenue is an important factor for Korean firms when hedging foreign exchange risk. We find that this is particularly so for public firms, which are subject to various disclosure requirements, and which thus have more incentive to generate a stable stream of net income.
    Keywords: Foreign exchange risk, hedging, foreign exchange market, emerging market, Korea.
