Contrary to previous literature, the interdependence of this choice with the optimal portfolio choice of internationally traded financial assets is explicitly taken into account. In particular, price setters move towards more local-currency pricing while the debt portfolio includes more foreign assets following increased financial integration. Both predictions are in line with novel empirical evidence. date: 2014-06 id_scheme: DOI id_number: 10.11588/heidok.00017061 schriftenreihe_cluster_id: sr-3 schriftenreihe_order: 0569 ppn_swb: 1658293762 own_urn: urn:nbn:de:bsz:16-heidok-170618 language: eng bibsort: BUZAUSHINAINTERNATIO201406 full_text_status: public series: Discussion Paper Series, University of Heidelberg, Department of Economics volume: 0569 place_of_pub: Heidelberg pages: 37 citation: Buzaushina, Almira ; Enders, Zeno ; Hoffmann, Mathias (2014) International Financial Market Integration, Asset Compositions and the Falling Exchange Rate Pass-Through.
