Tiivistelmä: | This study examines the behavior of the firm which faces uncertainty in demand but can adjust its output once the uncertainty is resolved, using contingent-claims analysis. The paper finds that (i) the optimal output of the firm with ex post adjustment capability is less than that of the firm without production flexibility; (ii) the optimal ex ante output increases with the higher interest rate; (iii) the greater the marginal cost associated with the ex post adjustment and/or salvage value, the greater the optimal ex ante output; and (iv) the effect of demand volatility and production lead time on the optimal ex ante output could be either positive or negative. |
