Abstract
We study the hedging behavior of competitive risk-averse firms producing under price uncertainty and owning other sources of risky income as well. We show that the well-known ‘Separation property’ holds when a futures market for the commodity produced is available. However, unbiased futures market does not imply full-hedging by which the firm avoids price risk altogether.
