Under uncertainty of exchange rate, we extend the build to order production
model of Lin et al. (2002) by considering the export-oriented manufacturer to make
decisions to switch production location freely between domestic and foreign ones. The
export-oriented manufacturer is risk neutral and has rational expectations. When we
transfer the production location from domestic (foreign) to foreign (domestic), and the
production location transferring cost and the drift of real exchange rate are both equal to
zero, then the optimal entry and exit threshold value of Cobb-Douglas production
function are equal, no matter whether we use real options or net present value method.
Thus export-oriented manufacturer can make decisions at the optimal transfer threshold
value for transferable locations wherever the production locations are. It provides the
export-oriented manufacturer with another way of thinking.
