A Simple Duality Model Of Production Incorporating Risk Aversion And Price Uncertainty

Author

Listed:
  • Coyle, Barry T.

Abstract

Proceeding within the framework of a linear mean-variance utility function, this paper develops a duality model of production that incorporates risk aversion and price uncertainty. In contrast to risk models based on an expected utility function, this model provides a practical alternative to standard duality models for econometric research.
