Abstract: In this paper we analyze the implications of risky revenues for foreign production and hedging decisions of an international firm. In a two-period framework under exchange rate uncertainty and other sources of uncertainty as well it is shown that risk related elements affect not only the level of hedging but also the amount of foreign production. Currency forwards do not guarantee the separation theorem of risk sharing market.
