ABSTRACT

For potential exporters deciding what level of output to produce

other than those induced by exchange policies; the fact that world prices,

domestic demands and factor supplies, and technological changes may have

the degree of uncertainty attaching to any of these other variables

others, the theory of the firm under uncertainty was for a long time one

of the more neglected areas of microeconomic theory. Recent contributions

by Sandmo and others, however, have done much to develop this area of

using the idea of a "random demand curve," a concept introduced by

Leland. 1

Section 2-2 examines a conjecture made by Sandmo that a decrease

model, and the chapter concludes with a generalization of the theory to

more than one market.
