«Supply Contract Fragility Risk»
In this talk, Prof. Haksöz will present results in his ongoing research on strategic value of options in mitigating supply contract fragility risk. Specifically, he will focus on the “contract breach” faced by the commodity buyers who are procuring via long-term contracts. The contract breach by the commodity sellers becomes more pronounced and financially distressing with increasing liquidity and transparency of spot markets that are becoming easier to reach for sellers who may opt out for profitable trading. In such a setting, he will show how an explicit design and valuation of an “abandonment option” in the contract negotiation stage can be used to manage the contract breach risk; hence create value for the supply chain.
