Abstract

This paper considers production and hedging decisions of firms under ambiguous price risk. We display that the separation property and the full hedging theorem hold in the presence of ambiguity. We also determine the condition that ambiguity aversion increases optimal hedging position.

Keywords: Future hedging, production decision, prudence, smooth ambiguity aversion
