Abstract
This paper investigates the strategies contractors can employ to mitigate the exchange rate risks in hybrid payment systems. In our analysis, contractors face exchange rate risk, due to mismatches between their revenue and cost currencies, as well as property price risk, since they receive a portion of their revenue in the form of dwelling units. We rigorously compare the performance of three distinct risk models within the context of real estate development in Punta del Este, Uruguay. By evaluating these models against empirical data from a hypothetical project, our research provides valuable insights into their effectiveness in managing exchange rate risk. This addresses the critical need to validate risk models in the emerging real estate market of Punta del Este. Our analysis demonstrates a significant reduction in risk and higher expected profits compared with strategies that do not involve hedging.
期刊介绍:
As monetary institutions rely greatly on economic and financial models for a wide array of applications, model validation has become progressively inventive within the field of risk. The Journal of Risk Model Validation focuses on the implementation and validation of risk models, and aims to provide a greater understanding of key issues including the empirical evaluation of existing models, pitfalls in model validation and the development of new methods. We also publish papers on back-testing. Our main field of application is in credit risk modelling but we are happy to consider any issues of risk model validation for any financial asset class. The Journal of Risk Model Validation considers submissions in the form of research papers on topics including, but not limited to: Empirical model evaluation studies Backtesting studies Stress-testing studies New methods of model validation/backtesting/stress-testing Best practices in model development, deployment, production and maintenance Pitfalls in model validation techniques (all types of risk, forecasting, pricing and rating)
