This article examines the role of the interaction between product market and labor market imperfections in determining total factor productivity growth (TFPG). Embedding Dobbelaere and Mairesse's (2009) generalization of Hall's (1990) approach, allowing for the possibility that wages are...

This paper examines the production and hedging decisions of the competitive firm under price uncertainty when the firm … is not only risk averse but also regret averse. Regret-averse preferences are characterized by a modified utility … difference between the actual profit and the maximum profit attained by making the optimal production and hedging decisions had …

This paper extends the theory by further investigating the effects of regret-aversion on production …. We compare the optimal output levels of regret-averse firms with purely risk- averse firms under uncertainty and firms …

This note examines the behavior of a competitive firm that faces joint price and inflation risk. Given that the price … risk is negatively correlated with the inflation risk in the sense of expectation dependence, the firm optimally opts for … an overhedge if the firm's coefficient of relative risk aversion is everywhere no greater than unity. Furthermore …
