This paper considers an investment timing problem in a duopoly framework. The results of the seminal contribution by … scenario we have a preemption equilibrium with dispersed investment timing, while in the second scenario an equilibrium with … joint investment prevails. In the third scenario preemption holds in case uncertainty is low, and joint investment is the …

This paper considers the impact of investment cost asymmetry on the value and optimal real option exercise strategies … the level of asymmetry, a marginal increase in the investment cost of the firm with the cost disadvantage can increase … socially less desirable outcome than if one of the competitors has a significant investment cost disadvantage.Finally, we prove …
