| Abstract: | Based on a unique dataset of available accounting disclosures, this study explores the relationship btw. U.K. multinationals stock returns and changes in the exchange rate (here as: e-r.) to which each firm is most exposed. There are found more firms with significant foreign (here as: frgn.) e-r. exposure estimates using this firm-specific principal currency (as: crr.) data, compared with those exposure estimates using the broad e-r. index data of prior studies. Particularly, there is evidence of firms effectively using frgn. crr. derivatives and frgn.-denominated debt to reduce the crr. risk associated with the bilateral e-r. to which they are most exposed. |
