The aim of this study is to determine the main factors affecting the use of foreign exchange hedging instruments by Chinese firms, following their regulatory changes in the derivative markets. The original contributions to this literature include the use of a panel dataset of 316 Chinese firms...

The forward unbiasedness regression is revisited by varying the prediction horizons from 1 day to 1 year. The panel data suggests some possibility of a positive slope coefficient at a short horizon while the negative coefficient improves forecasting performance at longer horizons

We consider estimation and inference for a regression coefficient in panels with interactive fixed effects (i.e., with a factor structure). We show that previously developed estimators and confidence intervals (CIs) might be heavily biased and size-distorted when some of the factors are weak. We...
