This paper examines if the type of exchange rate used or size of the movement in the exchange rate matters in estimating exchange-rate exposure of U.S. nonfinancial multinationals. We find that switching from a broad trade-weighted exchange rate to a 2-digit SIC industry exchange rate increases...

Evidence suggests that interntaional capital markets are neither fully integrated nor completely semented. There is, however, currently no general method available for computing the required return on corporate investments in such capital markets. This paper uses a model of partially integrated...

The aim of this paper is to analyze the impact that recent changes in companies strategies (they refocused on their basic activities and they internationalized them) can have on their market value. Through that analysis, we intend to establish a suitable logic that could be adapted to portfolio...

This study investigates whether the quantitative disclosures about notional amount and fair value of foreign exchange derivatives, required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 119 and its predecessors are associated with the information used by investors to assess the...

The recent dramatic fall in oil prices has led to extensive capital rationing in international oil companies, and subsequent fierce competition between resource extraction countries to attract scarce investment. This situation is not adequately addressed by the large literature on international...

Using a large sample of cross-border mergers we measure the effect of a change in location on systematic risk. We document a large, widespread, and robust effect. When a target firm's location moves as a result of an international merger, a large part of its systematic risk switches from being...

We use 10-K filings to construct novel text-based measures of the extent to which U.S. firms are exposed to three offshore activities: the sale of output, purchase of input, and ownership of producing assets. Our main result is that selling output abroad is associated with higher stock returns,...

Empirical reports of priced foreign exchange (FX) risk raise the question of whether managers should adjust their cost of equity estimates for FX risk. To study this question, we empirically compare the cost of equity estimates of several risk-return models, including some that have explicit FX...

Capital controls segment the offshore credit market of Chinese renminbi from the onshore market. Using a novel administrative data set, we provide evidence that firms arbitrage the onshore-offshore interest differentials using bank-intermediated "entrepôt trades," which supposedly re-export...
