Abstract

We examine the impact of exchange rates on profits and prices in differentiated consumable goods markets. We model the exchange rate exposure of exporting firms operating within a Bertrand or a Cournot setting where between and within competition co-exist. We show that market structure and these two forces determine pass through and exposure. Empirical tests of real and bilateral exchange rate exposure using stock price and profit data confirm a link between the ability of a firm to pass on the exchange rate changes to its customers and the magnitude of the exposure on their rivals.
