The impact of uncertainty on firms' investment outlays is subject to an ongoing debate. Theory identifies several … channels. Irreversibility, financing constraints and risk aversion make a negative relationship between uncertainty and … investment likely. On the other hand, the ability of firms to adapt after uncertainty is resolved can make a risky strategy more …

In this paper, we design an investment game which allows us to study the influence of selection when learning from … others. Using the theoretical study of selection neglect in Jehiel (2018) as a guide, we test (i) for the presence of … selection neglect in this investment context, and (ii) some comparative static predictions of the model. We find strong evidence …
