This table reports estimates of the systematic risk and exchange rate exposure coefficients obtained from the four-factor asset pricing model, Equation (6). βEX is the exchange rate exposure coefficient derived from projecting exchange rate returns on the three factors, namely market returns (RM), short-term interest rate (SR), and oil price returns (OIL). FEX is the exchange rate component that is orthogonal to the three factors. Panels A, B, and C focus on the period before COVID-19, during COVID-19, and the full sample, respectively. We estimate Equation (6) by OLS and address potential serial correlation and heteroskedasticity in the error terms using heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation consistent standard errors.
