Exchange Rate Effects on Firm Performance: A NICER Approach

Nuwat NookhwunJettawat PattararangrongPhurichai Rungcharoenkitkul

Abstract

Under dominant currency pricing, exchange rate swings affect firms’ profits in domestic currency rather than price competitiveness. We quantify these valuation effects by constructing firm-specific exchange rates that reflect invoicing currencies and capture cashflow exposures. These net-invoice-currency-weighted exchange rates (NICER) outperform trade-weighted exchange rates in explaining firm profitability, particularly for smaller exporters. Higher trade dependency amplifies NICER sensitivities, while financial hedging only partially mitigates them. NICER fluctuations also impact firm liquidity and credit conditions, with large exporters offsetting liquidity shocks through external financing. These cash-flow effects, in turn, drive exporters’ investment and employment decisions.
