We study the impact of financial innovations on real investmentdecisions within the framework of an incomplete market economy comprisedof fi rms, investors, and an intermediary. The fi rms face uniqueinvestment opportunities that arise in their business operations and canbe undertaken at given...

In an incomplete market economy, all claims cannot be priced uniquely based on arbitrage. The prices of attainable claims (those that are spanned by traded claims) can be determined uniquely, whereas the prices of those that are unattainable can only be bounded. We first show that tighter price...

This paper studies the impact of financial innovations on real investment decisions. We model an incomplete market economy comprised of firms, investors and an intermediary. The firms face unique investment opportunities that are not spanned by the traded securities in the financial market, and...

We investigate how uncertainty in retail sales can be explained by the return on a financial market index. This information can be employed in forecasting, hedging, and risk management. Our forecasting model expresses the total sales of a retailer as a function of sales forecasts generated by...

We study the problem of using information about the type of machine failures to control production. When each station in a two stage flowline has a single machine, the processing time distributions are Erlang, and the time to fail as well repair a machine are exponentially distributed; we show...
