چکیده
This paper synthesizes and analyzes some important current and recent contributions to the theory of the firm under uncertainty. In so doing, it examines the production and hedging decisions of the competitive firm under a single source and multiple sources of uncertainty.

Prospect theory and two moment model: the firm under price uncertainty
Within the prospect theory the paper examines production and hedging decisions of a competitive firm under price uncertainty. We consider the prospect theory for the firm's utility function in the two moment model known as (mu,sigma)-preference. In contrast to the literature our findings show that the production under uncertainty can be larger than in the certainty case. Furthermore, we demonst...
متن کاملGlobal Production Planning Under Exchange-Rate Uncertainty
Motivated by a production planning problem in an actual global manufacturing network, we examine the impact of exchange-rate uncertainty ... namely the volatility in an& correlations among exchange rates ... on the choice of various optimal production policies and the conditions which lead to them. A two-stage stochastic program with recourse is developed that provides opportunities to hedge fi...
متن کاملApplications of Production Decision Models under Risk A Decision Analysis Approach with Incorporation of Behavioral Utilities
A conceptual model examines the competitive firm’s optimal input and hedging decisions under price and output uncertainty. Behavioral utility functions are incorporated to represent the firm’s irrational organizational behaviors. The model is then solved in a numerical example using decision analysis methods. It is shown to be capable to solve for the optimal decisions under different market co...
متن کاملRisk Averse Approaches in Open-pit Production Planning under Ore Grade Uncertainty: a Ultimate Pit Study
During early phases of open-pit mining production planning many parameters are uncertain, and since the mining operation is performed only once, any evaluations based only on on average outcomes neglects the very real chance of obtaining an outcome that is below average. Taking into account also that operation costs are considerable and the mining horizon usually extends over several decades it...
متن کاملA Multi-Criteria Analysis Model under an Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Environment with an Application to Production Project Decision Problems
Using Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) to solve complicated decisions often includes uncertainty, which could be tackled by utilizing the fuzzy sets theory. Type-2 fuzzy sets consider more uncertainty than type-1 fuzzy sets. These fuzzy sets provide more degrees of freedom to illustrate the uncertainty and fuzziness in real-world production projects. In this paper, a new multi-criteria ana...
