| Abstract: | This paper empirically examines the exchange rate exposure management of Danish non-financial firms listed on the Copenhagen Stock Exchange. It is shown that debt denominated in foreign currency ('foreign debt', hereafter as: f-d.) is a very important alternative to the use of currency derivatives. The results show that the relative importance of f-d. is positively related to 1. the extent of foreign subsidiaries, 2. the relative value of assets in place, and 3. the debt ratio. The pivotal role of time horizon is emphasized. |
