On an Irreversible Investment Problem with Two-Factor Uncertainty
We consider a real options model for the optimal irreversible investment problem of a profit maximizing company. The company has the opportunity to invest into a production plant capable of producing two products, of which the prices follow two independent geometric Brownian motions. After paying a constant sunk investment cost, the company sells the products on the market and thus receives a continuous stochastic revenue-flow. This investment problem is set as a two-dimensional optimal stopping problem. We find that the optimal investment decision is triggered by a convex curve, which we characterize as the unique continuous solution to a nonlinear integral equation. Furthermore, we provide analytical and numerical comparative statics results of the dependency of the project's value and investment decision with respect to the model's parameters.

Preemptive Investment under Uncertainty
This paper provides a general characterization of subgame perfect equilibria for strategic timing problems, where two firms have the (real) option to make an irreversible investment. Profit streams are uncertain and depe…
State Space ModelsOn an integral equation for the free-boundary of stochastic, irreversible investment problems
In this paper, we derive a new handy integral equation for the free-boundary of infinite time horizon, continuous time, stochastic, irreversible investment problems with uncertainty modeled as a one-dimensional, regular …
Technical Uncertainty in Real Options with Learning
We introduce a new approach to incorporate uncertainty into the decision to invest in a commodity reserve. The investment is an irreversible one-off capital expenditure, after which the investor receives a stream of cash…
Irreversible investment under weighted discounting: effects of decreasing impatience
This paper employs an intra-personal game-theoretic framework to investigate how decreasing impatience influences irreversible investment behaviors in a continuous-time setting. We consider a capacity expansion problem u…
Strategic Irreversible Investment
This paper studies oligopolistic irreversible investment with closed-loop strategies. These permit fully dynamic interactions that result in much richer strategic behavior than previous studies with open-loop strategies …
