Abstract
This paper studies the impact of real exchange rate volatility on firm level investment using data on Indian manufacturing firms. Real exchange rate volatility is found to have a negative impact on firm level investment spending. The impact is non-linear in the level of exchange rate volatility and depends upon the size of firm’s mark-up and its trade exposure. Foreign equity ownership reduces the negative impact of exchange rate volatility significantly but the same cannot be said about access to domestic equity finance.
