Preemptive Investment Game with Alternative Projects
نویسنده
چکیده
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 also reveal new findings. Preemptive investment takes place earlier and the project value becomes lower if the numbers of both firms and projects increase by the same amount. Interestingly, a strong correlation among profits from projects, unlike in a monopoly, plays a positive role in moderating preemptive competition. JEL Classifications Code: C73, G13, G31.

متن کاملA Real Options Game Involving Multiple Projects
The equilibrium is derived in a real options game on the basis of a multidimensional state variable. In the game, firms optimize both investment time and project choice in projects that have not been chosen by the leading competitors. We demonstrate how the equilibrium changes with the number of firms, the number of projects, and the correlation between project values. Consistent with previous ...

متن کاملStrategic Timing of Technological Innovation Investment under Asymmetric Duopoly: A Real Option and Game-theoretic Approach
In an asymmetric duopoly option game-theoretic framework, this paper investigates the firms’ strategic technological innovation investment under uncertainty. There exist three types of equilibria that can occur in the choice of the technological innovation investment strategies, namely the preemptive, sequential and simultaneous equilibrium. The occurrence of a particular type of equilibrium is...
