On the Variation of Hedging Decisions in Daily Currency Risk Management
نویسندگان
چکیده
Internationally operating firms naturally face the decision whether or not to hedge the currency risk implied by foreign investments. In a recent paper, Bos, Mahieu and van Dijk (2000) evaluate the returns from optimal and alternative currency hedging strategies, for a series of 7 models, using Bayesian inference and decision analysis. The models differ in the way time-varying means, variances or the unconditional error distributions are incorporated. In this extension, we compare the hedging decisions and financial returns and utilities as they result from the modelling assumptions and the attitudes towards risk. JEL classification: C11, C44, E47, G15

This paper investigates how the benefits of hedging currency risk and the incentives of a firm to hedge are affected by the hedging strategies of competing firms. In competitive industries, if currency hedging is uncommon, prices are expected to positively co-vary with exchange rate related cost shocks providing firms with a ‘natural hedge’. As the extent of currency hedging in an industry rise...
متن کاملHedging Demand and Foreign Exchange Risk Premia
This paper develops and tests a model of unobservable risk premia in the foreign exchange market. Risk premia in our model are driven by non-marketable income shocks which risk averse agents attempt to hedge by trading foreign currency. We test our model using data on hedging demand in currency futures and find that our proxy for risk premia explains approximately 45 percent of the variation in...
متن کاملCorporate Currency Hedging and Currency Crises
We examine the impact of corporate currency hedging on economic stability by introducing hedging activity in a Mundell-Fleming-Tobin framework for analyzing currency and financial crises. The ratio between hedged and unhedged firms is modelled depending on firm size as well as hedging costs. The results indicate that, with an increasing fraction of hedged firms in an economy, the magnitude of a...
متن کاملTwo-Stage Stochastic International Portfolio Optimisation under Regular-Vine-Copula-Based Scenarios
An international portfolio allows simultaneous investment in both domestic and foreign markets. It hence has the potential for improved performance by exploiting a wider range of returns, and diversification benefits, than portfolios investing in just one market. However, to obtain the most efficient portfolios (along with the usual management of assets) the risks from currency fluctuations nee...
