Irreversible Investment in Alternative Projects
We examine the problem of a risk-neutral investor who has to choose among two alternative projects of different scales under output price uncertainty. We show that as soon as investment in the smaller scale project is sometimes optimal, the optimal investment strategy is not a trigger strategy and the optimal investment region is dichotomous. Whenever the investor has the opportunity to switch ...
متن کاملPreemptive Investment Game with Alternative Projects
This paper derives a preemptive equilibrium in strategic investment in alternative projects. The problem is formulated in a real options model with a multidimensional state variable that represents project-specific uncertainty. The proposed method enables us to evaluate the value of potential alternatives. The results not only extend previous studies with a one-dimensional state variable but al...
متن کاملIrreversible investment
Investment is often irreversible: once installed, capital has little or no value unless used in production. This paper proposes, solves and characterizes a model of sequential irreversible investment by a firm facing uncertainty in technology, demand and price of capital. The solution can be found in closed form if simple (but not totally unrealistic) functional forms are assumed, and can be gi...
متن کاملIrreversible investment in oligopoly
We offer a new perspective on games of irreversible investment under uncertainty in continuous time. The basis is a particular approach to solve the involved stochastic optimal control problems which allows to establish existence and uniqueness of an oligopolistic open loop equilibrium in a very general framework without reliance on any Markovian property. It simultaneously induces quite natura...
