Abstract
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 which firms are exposed to exchange rate fluctuations varies with return horizons; short-term exposure seems to be relatively well hedged, where considerable evidence of long-term exposure is found. Firms with weak liquidity positions tend to have smaller exposures. J. Japanese Int. Economies 21 (1) (2007) 16–37.
