Floating Exchange Rates and the State of World Trade Payments

This well-documented book contains the proceedings of a conference on the effect of exchange rates on corporations. Sponsored by the Salomon Center, Stern School of Business of New York University, it was held at NYU in 1992. The idea for the conference arose out of the volatility of the exchange rate in the 1980s, which changed the way international firms operated and had a profound effect on their financial policies. The issues are presented in three major categories: exchange rates and the macroeconomic environment; exchange rate volatility and capital markets; and exchange rates and corporate strategic management.

From the back cover blurb:

... Numerous graphs and tables support the empirical data. Since changes in exchange rates affect many companies in fundamental ways, tse papers will provide historical analysis of the pitfalls and give insight into what might be done to combat them.
