Abstract

The feasibility of hedging ten wholesale pork products using the live hog futures market was analyzed, and appropriate hedging relationships were estimated using 1970-79 data. Depending upon a firm's risk aversion, the live hog futures market could be a useful risk management tool for meat processors and merchandisers dealing with pork products.
