First, we limit our analysis to a single financial decision variable for the company: the optimal risk hedging. The empirical tests published in the literature provide contradictory results regarding the effect of risk hedging on firm value and shareholder welfare. Studies that did not address the simultaneous effects of risk hedging and other financial decisions at the company may have drawn incorrect conclusions about the effects of risk management.
