We consider the problem of optimally acquiring and retiring assets that are undergoing technological change over an unbounded horizon. The allowance for technological change prevents one from adopting the classic repeated-plant assumption that future replacements will be identical in costs to current asset contenders, thus confronting one with a non-stationary infinite horizon problem to solve....
متن کاملA paradox in equipment replacement under technological improvement
It is commonly assumed that an acceleration in technological improvement should result in a more rapid introduction of new technology. Under a simple technological change model of a constant factor improvement in equipment costs per period, we show that, paradoxically, the effect is to optimally delay the introduction of new technology.

متن کاملMaintenance and replacement policies under technological obsolescence
The technological obsolescence of a unit is characterized by the existence of challenger units displaying identical functionalities, but with higher performances. This paper aims to define and model in a realistic way, possible maintenance policies of a system including replacement strategies when one type of challenger unit is available. The comparison of these possible strategies is performed...
متن کاملTechnological advances in renal replacement therapy: five years and beyond.
