Corporate hedging and input price risk
Article Abstract:
Processor firms can utilize hedging as a safeguard against variable input prices and to minimize their effects on preset output prices. Input price hedging is more applicable for processor firms with market power because their output prices and demand depends on the changes in input prices. This type of hedging is not as effective for perfectly competitive firms because the effects of input price changes on their output prices and demand are neutralized by a resultant spot market hedge.
