Uncertainty, Unanimity and the q-Theory of Investment
This paper presents a general equilibrium analysis under uncertainty of the firm's optimal investment decision. The set up is a well developed two-period model of a stock market economy. A theorem provides necessary and sufficient conditions for shareholder unanimity and a general investment decision is deduced. A particular case of the theorem, and the resulting decision rule, provide justification for the Q theory of investment.
