Firm behavioral response to multiple sources of risky cash flow

We extend previous research to demonstrate that risk-averse firms can appear to be risk-seeking when facing multiple sources of risky cash flow. While our model requires that cash flows from operations are independently, uniformly distributed, we are able to demonstrate that three previous derived results hold with multiple sources of risk. Using chance constrained programming, we demonstrate that binding probability constraints can cause (1) a higher degree of aversion to illiquidity to induce increased risk taking; (2) apparent risk-seeking behavior; and (3) an increase in endowment to lead to lower expected profit.
