報告摘要:
We study the risk management strategies of two manufacturers who procure a commodity from a supplier as the main input to produce a homogeneous product and compete in a downstream market. The manufacturers can adopt financial hedging and/or spot trading to control risks. Financial hedging can reduce profit variance by trading a financial asset, whereas spot trading as an operational hedging instrument can reduce the demand-supply mismatch risk. Our analysis indicates that neither financial hedging nor spot trading can completely dominate the other when manufacturers adopt a single risk management strategy.
