We study different determinants of real-life R&D decisions within a net present value framework. Besides entry threat, Bertrand competition and multi-stage R&D with an abandonment option, our model includes demand uncertainty, modelled as a lottery. A lottery becomes more divergent when the...

This … consumer's surplus is determined by the covariance between preferences and consumer's surplus and risk aversion. The sign of …. We then apply this result to the allocation of risk in the context of both public and private goods. In Section 3, we …

In situations of what we now describe as radical uncertainty, the core model of agent behaviour, of rational autonomous agents with stable preferences, is not useful. Instead, a different principle, in which the decisions of an agent are based directly on the decisions and strategies of other...

There is, in fact, a growing body of evidence indicating important … interactions between behaviorally revealed risk tolerance and patience. Risk taking behavior is delay dependent, and time …
