Asian foreign exchange risk exposure

We find that about 25 percent of Asian firms experienced economically significant exposure effects to the US dollar and 22.5 percent to the Japanese yen for the period January 1993 to January 2003. The overall extent of exposure is not sample dependent; a depreciating (appreciating) Asian currency against foreign currencies has a net negative (positive) impact on stock returns. The extent to wh...

Are Southeast Asian Real Exchange Rates Mean

Since the late nineties, both theoretical and empirical analysis devoted to the real exchange rate suggest that their dynamics might be well approximated by nonlinear models. This paper examines this possibility for post-1970 monthly ASEAN-5 data, extending the existing research in two directions. First, we use recently developed unit root tests which allow for more flexible nonlinear stationar...

Testing for Long Memory in the Asian Foreign Exchange Rates

In this paper, we use the plug-in and Whittle methods that are based on spectral regression analysis to test for the long memory property in 12 Asian/dollar daily exchange rates. The results according to the plug-in method show that with the exception of Chinese renminbi all series may have long memory properties. The results based on the Whittle method, on the other hand, show that only Japane...
