| Tiivistelmä: | In over-the-counter (OTC) markets, there is a tendency to revalue derivatives positions prior to maturity requiring collateral (hereafter as: coll.) in the case of losses. These coll. requirements create an asymmetric liquidity risk (here as: liq-risk). Using a model of a risk-averse competitive firm under price uncertainty, this paper takes into account the liq-risk. of forward contracts, deriving bounds on optimal hedge positions in forwards and on optimal output. Through a comparative static analysis, optimal risk management policies are related to characteristics of the firm. It is shown that liq-risk. can have a significant impact on forward positions even for firms with high credit standing. The total impact consists of a hedge ratio effect and an output effect. |
