Corporate Risk Management: Integrating Liquidity, Hedging, and Operating Policies
研究了在多种摩擦下，整合流动性管理、衍生品对冲和运营灵活性的动态风险管理策略所创造的价值，发现流动性在风险管理中起关键作用，而对冲的边际价值可能较低。
We analyze the value created by a dynamic integrated risk management strategy involving liquidity management, derivatives hedging, and operating flexibility, in the presence of several frictions. We show that liquidity serves a critical and distinct role in risk management, justifying high levels of cash. We find that the marginal value associated with derivatives hedging is likely to be low, though we explain why some empirical studies find a higher value. We explore the complex interactions between operating flexibility and financial risk management, finding that substitution effects are nonmonotonic and are affected by operating leverage, the nature of operating flexibility, and the effectiveness of the hedging instrument.
