Abstract

We analyze the exchange rate exposure of firms in Russia and European Union (EU) accession countries from Central and Eastern Europe: Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic. We control for potential effects of exchange rate regimes, the subprime mortgage and Russian financial crisis, EU accession, and the turn-of-the-year effect. We find significant exposure for 60% and 52% of firms in the CEEC-3 and Russia, respectively. Magnitude and direction of firms' exposure depends on the currency pair (versus either the euro or U.S. dollar) and differs between CEEC-3 and Russia. Differences may result from dissimilar exposure channels in the respective economies.
