Dynamic Hedging with Uncertain Production

Abstract

This paper provides a closed-form rule for dynamic hedging with production uncertainty. The rule is obtained by considering a discret e time control problem, in the limit, as the interval between hedging opportunities goes to zero. Price may be expected to increase or decrease so that a speculative motive is present. In the absence of this motive and of discounting, the optimal hedge is myopic. For a given expected rate of change in price, the hedge may be expected to rise or fall depending on the degree of risk aversion.
