despite the importance of hedging in academic productions, its use in different disciplines and genres has been given little attention (hyland, 1998; crystal, 1995). more precisely, the role of different genders as contributors to this social phenomenon (i.e., research articles) has been taken as neutral, as if gender is inconsequential in identity construction. the studies done in english sugg...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the distribution of functions and forms of hedging devices in the abstracts of master’s theses in two languages (English and Persian) written by Iranian students. To this end, 70 abstracts of M.A. theses were selected as the corpus. The total number of words in both English and Persian abstracts were 19,933 and 23,073, respectively. The categories of...

In this paper, we consider the problem of mean-variance hedging in an incomplete market where the underlying assets are jump diffusion processes which are driven by Brownian motion and doubly stochastic Poisson processes. This problem is formulated as a stochastic control problem and closed form expressions for the optimal hedging policy are obtained using methods from stochastic control and th...

this study set out to investigate the similarities and differences in frequency of incidence and type of hedging devices used in research articles written by iranian and non-iranian writers. for the purposes of the study, a corpus including 40 agriculture articles in english (20 written by iranian and 20 by non-iranian writers) were selected. collection and classification of the hedging devices...

To deal with severe drought when water supply is insufficient hedging rule, based on hedging rule curve, is proposed. In general, in discrete hedging rules, the rationing factors have changed from a zone to another zone at once. Accordingly, this paper is an attempt to improve the conventional hedging rule to control the changes of rationing factors. In this regard, the simulation model has emp...

This paper addresses several questions surrounding volatility forecasting and its use in the estimation of optimal hedging ratios. Specifically: Are there economic gains by nesting time-series econometric models (GARCH) and dynamic programming models (therefore forecasting volatility several periods out) in the estimation of hedging ratios whilst accounting for volatility in the futures bid–ask...
