我国上市公司外汇风险暴露的行业特征研究 ——基于深市行业指数的实证分析 摘要 自2005年7月21日我国汇率形成机制改革以来，人民币持续升值，且波动幅度不断加大，加之中国参与国际贸易的程度不断加深，我国企业的外汇风险暴露问题也日益突出，引起国内外学者的广泛关注。本文结合前人的研究，从行业特征的角度出发，分析汇率波动给不同行业带来的影响有何差异，并结合实际分析造成这种差异的原因。 本文首先对外汇风险暴露的基本概念、分类以及衡量方法进行了理论性的介绍，然后从宏观和微观两个层面分析了企业外汇风险暴露的影响因子，并在此基础上提出了实证分析的基本假设，并利用Jorion的资本市场模型，运用深市行业指数数据，对人民币汇率波动对不同行业指数收益率的影响进行实证分析，结果表明：所选行业中有43%的行业存在着显著的外汇风险暴露，且系数均为正，说明这些行业受到人民币升值的负面冲击；竞争性行业的外汇风险暴露程度显著高于垄断性行业；制造业及其细分行业的外汇风险暴露水平整体高于其他行业，占所有风险暴露显著行业的56%；进口行业从人民币升值中的获益并不明显，出口行业则受到显著的负面冲击。 最后，本文
