We examine the relation between demand uncertainty and firms' production outsourcing decisions. Contrary to the traditional view on make-or-buy decisions in management accounting textbooks, we predict that demand uncertainty deters outsourcing by a manufacturer from a supplier. Building on...

Conventional models of production under uncertainty specify that output is produced in fixed proportions across states of nature. I investigate a representation of technology that allows firms to transform output from one state to another. I allow the firm to choose the distribution of its...

I use a flexible price version of the Prescott (1975) “hotels” model to study a dynamic model that allows for storage. The formulation follows the standard competitive analysis tradition with a non-standard definition of markets: The set of markets that open depends on the state of demand. I...

In terms of convex analysis the revenue function of a country with a given factor endowment may be seen as the support function of the production possibility set. At the same time this revenue function is the so called convex-conjugate of the indicator function of the production possibility set....
