We study the information sensitivity of government debt denominated in domestic versus foreign currency: the former is subject to inflation risk and the latter to default. Default only affects sophisticated bond traders, whereas inflation concerns a larger and less informed group. Within a two-period Bayesian trading game, differential information manifests itself in the secondary market, and we display conditions under which debt prices are more resilient to bad news even in the primary market, where only sophisticated players operate. Our results can explain debt prices across countries following the 2008 financial crisis, and also provide a theory of “original sin.” (JEL D84, F34, H63)

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate how foreign and domestic investors differ in their beliefs about the relative merits of a firm's political connections. Design/methodology/approach – These differences are employed to explain cross-sectional variation in the previously documented premium in A-share prices relative to otherwise equivalent foreign currency denominated B-shares for Chinese firms. Findings – Chinese domestic individual investors were excluded from owning B-shares of Chinese firms prior to February 20, 2001. The authors find that firms with more political connections have higher premiums and a smaller reduction in premiums associated with this event. Research limitations/implications – This is consistent with domestic block holders deriving additional benefits from politically connected firms. Practical implications – The findings also have important policy implications by showing that government can have a strong effect on the economy even without applying macro-policy tools. Social implications – Government ownership in listed companies can result in discrepancies among classes of investors with respect to their valuations. Furthermore, the prohibition of short sales prevents arbitrage from correcting this bias, and eventually the role of the market in allocating resources efficiently is undermined. Originality/value – The authors investigate the role of political connections as implied by the proportion of state ownership in explaining the A-share premium. Unlike previous studies that associate state ownership with political risk, the paper relates state ownership to political connections that are particularly beneficial to domestic large block shareholders. This interpretation is consistent with the findings and with previous literature on state ownership and political connections of Chinese firms.

The role of money changers is very important in meeting the needs of foreign exchange for the community. This role can also be fulfilled by banks and other financial institutions. People who want to order foreign currencies at this time still have to go through traditional procedures, where the buyer is required to come directly to the place of foreign exchange. This study intends to build a system design that can make currency orders and provide information on foreign exchange rates contained in each money changer through a web-based application. This research uses the Object Oriented Analysis and Design (OOAD) method, literature study, and data collection methods using a questionnaire. Based on the problems outlined and the results of the study, this system can be a source of information on foreign exchange rates and also an alternative order for foreign exchange. Foreign exchange orders can be made online through this information system. This system will continue to be developed with various features such as payment methods using biometric security methods with the support of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology. So users can search for foreign currency values and order them easily through online media.

This paper analyzes the role of currency hedging on non-financial firm’s performance. Most firms on the sample have anticipated the currency mismatch risk by balancing the ratio of foreign debt to their asset  fenominated in foreign currency. Using panel estimation, we find that there is no evidence of currency hedging activities to affect capital and performance of firms. The result underlines the low intensity of currency hedging activities due to lack of incentives, which is inline with the low derivative transaction within the underdeveloped foreign currency market. This finding may raise a concern since currently the development of foreign liabilities for non-financial firmsin Indonesia is increasing in significant level, as well as the increase risk of domestic currency depreciation. For these reasons, Bank Indonesia should take proactive policies to deepen foreign currency market as well as derivative market by providing a more comprehensive and market friendly hedging instruments to banks and non-financial firms, while keep promoting the benefit of currency hedging.Keywords: Hedging, derivative market, foreign liability.JEL Classification: F31, G31
