While a competitive firm facing price uncertainty has been extensively studied, this is not so for output uncertainty …. This paper analyzes the behavior of a competitive firm facing multiplicative output uncertainty, either with or without … price uncertainty. We depict equilibrium and obtain comparative statics results with the aid of a diagram which exploits the …

We show that, regardless of the specification of output uncertainty, if hedging is absent and there …
