Abstract

Un producteur neutre vis-à-vis du risque fait face à une contrainte de liquidité qui l'oblige à vendre un de ses actifs sur des marchés financiers imparfaits s'il s'avère incapable d'honorer ses dettes, générant un coût fixe de transaction. En présence d'un tel risque de liquidation, il peut refuser d'investir dans un projet risqué dont le rendement net espéré est positif. Il présente alors une aversion envers le risque de premier ordre. Le niveau optimal de production est une fonction linéaire par morceaux de sa richesse. Il décroît ou s'accroît selon que le rendement net espéré du projet est positif ou négatif. Lorsque sa richesse initiale est affectée par un risque sous-jacent suivant une loi normale, sa fonction d'utilité apparente présente une forme en "S".
