Abstract
AbstractUsing a data set of US manufacturing firms with sales from foreign operations, we find that firms' currency hedging activities vary with their warranty obligations. The positive link of warranty obligations to currency hedging policies prevails in financially more constrained firms, companies facing fiercer product market competition and corporations producing more unique products. Our results suggest that firms are likely to incorporate their contractual commitments to customers into their currency hedging activities, especially when their failures to honor these commitments are more likely or costly.
