The prospect theory is one of the most popular decision-making theories. It is based on the S-shaped utility function …, unlike the von Neumann and Morgenstern (NM) theory, which is based on the concave utility function.

The paper presents a model of a risk-averse exporting firm under exchange rate risk. We focus on the economic implications of basis risk. It is shown that the regression dependence assumptions between spot and futures exchange rates are essential in analyzing optimal hedging and export...
