Exchange Rate Regimes and the Price of Exchange Rate Risk

Exchange Rate Regimes and the Price of Exchange Rate Risk

By Richard Priestley and Bernt Arne Ødegaard, Norwegian School of Management

Abstract

We investigate the price of exchange rate risk in the stock market across exchange rate regimes. We find that exchange rate risk is a priced factor and that the sign of the price of risk is affected by the exchange rate regime. The results have important implications for risk management policies.
