- Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic caused a significant disruption to food demand, leading to changes in household expenditure and consumption patterns. This paper presents a method for analyzing the impact of such demand shocks on a producer's decision to sell a commodity during economic turmoil. The method uses an artificial neural network (ANN) to approximate the optimal value function for a general stochastic differential equation and calculate the partial derivatives of the value function with respect to various parameters of both the diffusion process and the payoff function. This approach allows for sensitivity analysis of the optimal stopping problem and can be applied to a range of situations beyond just the COVID-19 crisis.
