Corporate Risk Management
Author: Donald H. Chew
Publisher: Columbia University Press
ISBN: 023114363X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 481
Book Description
More than thirty leading scholars and finance practitioners discuss the theory and practice of using enterprise-risk management (ERM) to increase corporate values. ERM is the corporate-wide effort to manage the right-hand side of the balance sheet--a firm's total liability structure-in ways that enable management to make the most of the firm's assets. While typically working to stabilize cash flows, the primary aim of a well-designed risk management program is not to smooth corporate earnings, but to limit the possibility that surprise outcomes can threaten a company's ability to fund its major investments and carry out its strategic plan. Contributors summarize the development and use of risk management products and their practical applications. Case studies involve Merck, British Petroleum, the American airline industry, and United Grain Growers, and the conclusion addresses a variety of topics that include the pricing and use of certain derivative securities, hybrid debt, and catastrophe bonds. Contributors: Tom Aabo (Aarhus School of Business); Albéric Braas and Charles N. Bralver (Oliver, Wyman & Company); Keith C. Brown (University of Texas at Austin); David A. Carter (Oklahoma State University); Christopher L. Culp (University of Chicago); Neil A. Doherty (University of Pennsylvania); John R. S. Fraser (Hyrdo One, Inc.); Kenneth R. French (University of Chicago); Gerald D. Gay (Georgia State University); Jeremy Gold (Jeremy Gold Pensions); Scott E. Harrington (University of South Carolina); J. B. Heaton (Bartlit Beck Herman Palenchar & Scott LLP); Joel Houston (University of Florida); Nick Hudson (Stern Stewart & Co.); Christopher James (University of Florida); A. John Kearney and Judy C. Lewent (Merck & Co., Inc.); Robert C. Merton and Lisa K. Meulbroek (Harvard Business School); Merton H. Miller (University of Chicago); Jouahn Nam (Pace University); Andrea M. P.

Smith Jr. (University of Rochester); Charles W. Smithson (Continental Bank); René M. Stulz (Ohio State University); D.

Managing Currency Risk
Author: Takatoshi Ito
Publisher: Edward Elgar Publishing
ISBN: 1785360132
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 298
Book Description
This book demonstrates how exporters’ decisions regarding choice of invoice currency can be influenced by many factors including firm size, product competitiveness, intra/inter-firm trades, and the geography of export destination. The aim is to enhance our understanding of exporters’ behavior in terms of managing currency risk. It contains detailed research and insightful data focusing on Japanese exporters and shows how they face an important trade-off in choosing the invoice currency. If exports are invoiced in yen, then exchange rate fluctuations will pass through to retail prices ultimately affecting sales volumes. However, if they choose to invoice in the importer’s currency, then sales volumes are largely unchanged.

Managing Climate Risk in the U.S. Financial System
Author: Leonardo Martinez-Diaz
Publisher: U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission
ISBN: 057874841X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 196
Book Description
This publication serves as a roadmap for exploring and managing climate risk in the U.S. financial system. It is the first major climate publication by a U.S. financial regulator. The central message is that U.S. financial regulators must recognize that climate change poses serious emerging risks to the U.S. financial system, and they should move urgently and decisively to measure, understand, and address these risks. Achieving this goal calls for strengthening regulators’ capabilities, expertise, and data and tools to better monitor, analyze, and quantify climate risks. It calls for working closely with the private sector to ensure that financial institutions and market participants do the same. And it calls for policy and regulatory choices that are flexible, open-ended, and adaptable to new information about climate change and its risks, based on close and iterative dialogue with the private sector. At the same time, the financial community should not simply be reactive—it should provide solutions. Regulators should recognize that the financial system can itself be a catalyst for investments that accelerate economic resilience and the transition to a net-zero emissions economy. Financial innovations, in the form of new financial products, services, and technologies, can help the U.S. economy better manage climate risk and help channel more capital into technologies essential for the transition. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5247742

Hedžing deviznog rizika: razvoj i primena finansijskih i operativnih strategija
Author: Milan Čupić
Publisher: University of Kragujevac, Faculty of Economics
ISBN: 8660911598
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 23
Book Description
Gotovo neprekidne finansijske neizvesnosti i krize izazvane finansijskim i nefinansijskim faktorima nas podsećaju na neophodnost i značaj literature u vezi sa hedžingom rizika. Nepredvidivost budućih promena deviznih kurseva je jedan od najvažnijih izvora neizvesnosti za preduzeća, bez obzira na to da li posluju u granicama jedne nacionalne privrede ili na globalnom nivou. Devizni rizik, kao izraz te neizvesnosti, može usloviti veoma nepovoljne promene domaće vrednosti nekih pozicija preduzeća ili pokazatelja poslovanja, pa privlači pažnju teorije i prakse. Budući da promene deviznih kurseva mogu značajno odrediti konkurentnost, novčane tokove i strategijsku orijentaciju preduzeća, izloženost deviznom riziku je strategijski problem koji zahteva strategijski odgovor. S tim u vezi, preduzeća koriste finansijske i operativne strategije. Finansijske strategije podrazumevaju zauzimanje pozicije u valutnom derivatu, sa ciljem smanjenja izloženosti u vezi sa osnovnom pozicijom u stranoj valuti, dok se operativne strategije zasnivaju na razvoju realnih opcija u domenu snabdevanja, proizvodnje i prodaje, sa ciljem optimiziranja izloženosti preduzeća u vezi sa očekivanim novčanim tokovima. Budući da se teorija i praksa finansija brzo menjaju i unapređuju, ova monografija je pisana u nastojanju da ukaže na strategijske odgovore koje preduzeća mogu da koriste kako bi kontrolisala uticaj deviznog rizika na svoje poslovanje. Imajući u vidu strategijsku dimenziju ovog problema, najviše pažnje je posvećeno analizi i objašnjenju modela za procenu izloženosti i strategijama za hedžing deviznog rizika. Posebno su istaknuti i analizirani pristupi dostupni preduzećima u Srbiji. Monografija „Hedžing deviznog rizika: razvoj i primena finansijskih i operativnih strategija“ je namenjena stručnjacima koji se u svakodnevnom radu sreću sa deviznim rizikom, studentima ekonomskih fakulteta, ali i svima koji žele da bolje razumeju uticaj deviznog rizika i praktične pristupe hedžingu. U očekivanju da će ova monografija doprineti boljem razumevanju složene problematike hedžinga deviznog rizika, autor je otvoren za konstruktivne sugestije naučne i stručne javnosti.

Hedging and Invoicing Strategies to Reduce Exchange Rate Exposure
Author: Björn Döhring
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Foreign exchange rates
Languages : en
Pages : 28
Book Description
Domestic-currency invoicing and hedging allow internationally active firms to reduce their exposure to exchange rate variations. This paper discusses exchange rate exposure in terms of transaction risk (the risk of variations of the value of committed future cash flows), translation risk (the risk of variations of the value of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency) and broader economic risk (which takes into account the impact of exchange rate variations on competitiveness). The paper argues that domestic-currency invoicing and hedging with exchange rate derivatives allow a fairly straightforward management of transaction and translation risk and discusses under which circumstances their use is optimal. Economic risk is by its very nature harder to manage, but the paper argues that natural hedging provides possibilities for doing so. The discussion of management techniques for exchange rate exposure is complemented with an analysis of their actual use. This draws on data on the invoicing currencies of euro-area exports and on previous empirical work on hedging, which has, however, focussed largely on firms in the US and a small number of EU Member States. A novelty of this paper is a survey of actual hedging strategies and techniques of large corporations from a euro-area perspective. The paper finds that euro-area exporters have instruments at hand to limit the adverse impact of euro appreciation and that they make ample use of them.
