Fußnoten
1
Without loss of generality, we assume that the size of the futures contract is one.
 
2
Lence (1995) also derives the hedge ratio based on the expected utility. We will discuss it later in Sect. 32.2.3.
 
3
Our discussion of the opportunity costs is very brief. We would like to refer interested readers to Lence (1995) for a detailed discussion. We would also like to point to the fact that production can be allowed to be random as is done in Lence (1996).
 
4
For example, D 1,t s represents daily time scale and D 4,t s represents 8-day time scale.
