This paper examines how financially constrained firms should hedge and what instruments to use under default risk and a debt contract which is characterized by an endogenous collateral. We find that in addition to futures, non-linear derivatives in the form of short butterfly options are required, as long as the default cost is sufficiently large.

We find that in addition to futures, non-linear derivatives in the form of short butterfly options are required, as long as the default cost is sufficiently large. | |
