The third section examines overseas investment decisions in both countries integrated with the global financial market and those still segmented from it. Coverage emphasizes the cost of capital and accounting for overseas investments and hedging of foreign exchange risk. International Financial Economics: Corporate Decisions in Global Markets is ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in global financial management.Features * Employs a practical, financial perspective with real-world applications * Includes expanded material on currency swaps to show their role in foreign exchange exposure management * Offers a detailed description of economic foreign exchange exposure * Provides additional material on overseas investment decisions when exchange rates are not correctly valued
