Abstract: In uncertain financial environments, firms apply derivatives to hedge on risks such as commodity, interest, and currency usage. Based on non-financial listed companies from 2013 to 2022, this paper applies regression analysis and score matching method to examine the relationship between firm value and application of derivatives. It found that hedging increases the value of firms. We further use PSM and alternative variables to conduct robustness analysis and find out results are robust.
