Abstract
This paper conducts a large-scale multi-country longitudinal study and examines the extent that firms are exposed to commodity price risk in 23 OECD countries. An industry analysis reveals that all industries are significantly exposed to commodity price movements ranging between 8 and 10% except for the energy sector where 38% of firms being significantly exposed. Investigating the determinants of commodity price exposure, we report that firm size is negatively associated with commodity exposure, while the fraction of R&D expenses, leverage, country GDP, and sophistication of the financial derivatives markets are positively related to commodity price exposure.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of the journal is also to stimulate international dialog among academics, industry participants, traders, investors, and policymakers with mutual interests in commodity markets. The mandate for the journal is to present ongoing work within commodity economics and finance. Topics can be related to financialization of commodity markets; pricing, hedging, and risk analysis of commodity derivatives; risk premia in commodity markets; real option analysis for commodity project investment and production; portfolio allocation including commodities; forecasting in commodity markets; corporate finance for commodity-exposed corporations; econometric/statistical analysis of commodity markets; organization of commodity markets; regulation of commodity markets; local and global commodity trading; and commodity supply chains. Commodity markets in this context are energy markets (including renewables), metal markets, mineral markets, agricultural markets, livestock and fish markets, markets for weather derivatives, emission markets, shipping markets, water, and related markets. This interdisciplinary and trans-disciplinary journal will cover all commodity markets and is thus relevant for a broad audience. Commodity markets are not only of academic interest but also highly relevant for many practitioners, including asset managers, industrial managers, investment bankers, risk managers, and also policymakers in governments, central banks, and supranational institutions.
