Abstract
This paper examines the impact of the firm specific factors on the use of foreign exchange and interest derivative instruments for Malaysian firms. We find that firms’ foreign sales, growth options, managerial ownership and size have positive influence on the use of foreign exchange and interest derivatives in Malaysia. In particular, our results seem to suggest that Malaysian firms with higher level of foreign sales and growth opportunities are active users of the foreign currency derivatives, while, firms with higher ratio of quick assets do not use such derivatives, as these firms might use excess liquidity to absorb unpredicted changes in the foreign currency and interest rate risks. Our findings suggest that only a small number of Malaysian listed firms have appropriate understanding of the derivatives instruments to mitigate market risks in the international business environment. Most Malaysian managers seem to be risk averse and might not be aware of the upside of taking position in the derivatives markets.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
