In particular, the determination of equilibri...
متن کاملStrategic Capacity Investment Under Uncertainty
Contrary to most of the papers in the literature of investment under uncertainty we study models that not only capture the timing, but also the size of the investment.

First, for low uncertainty value...

Capacity investment decisions are always made ex-ante demand whereas price decisions always ex-post. The interplay between the timing of demand information and the decision of production and delivery endows fi...
