## Abstract In this paper, the behavior of the competitive firm under price uncertainty when the firm has access to an intertemporally unbiased futures market is examined. Futures contracts are markedβtoβmarket and thus require interim cash settlement of gains and losses. The firm is subject to a l

This paper examines the optimal twoβpart pricing under cost uncertainty. We consider a riskβaverse monopolistic firm that is subject to a cost shock to its constant marginal cost of production. The firm uses twoβpart pricing to sell its output to a continuum of heterogeneous consumers. We show that
This article introduces Knightian uncertainty into the production and futures hedging framework. The firm has imprecise information about the probability density function of spot or futures prices in the future. Decision-making under such scenario follows the "max-min" principle. It is shown that in
