Hedging with synthetical forwards and the export decision

The paper focusses on currency options as financial hedging instrumenta. Since currency forwards imply the well-known Separation result, it follows for arbitragefree hedging markets that Separation must also hold in option markets if the traded options allow for con-structing a synthetical forward contract. Furthermore export revenue is fully hedged by synthetical forwards, if the risk premium in the put price is equal to the risk premium in the call price.
