We study a stochastic version of Fudenberg and Tirole's (1985) preemption game to analyze the effects of jumps in the underlying uncertainty on equilibrium strategies. Two firms contemplate entering a new market where the demand follows a jump-diffusion process. Firms differ is the sunk costs of...

In this study, we analyze the investment-timing problem and introduce a model of two firms competing for investment preemption, each of which knows in advance the time at which the economic condition that will have an impact on the investment changes. We qualitatively show how two firms...

We study a stochastic version of Fudenberg -- Tirole's preemption game. Two firms contemplate entering a new market with stochastic demand. Firms differ in sunk costs of entry. If the demand process has no upward jumps, the low cost firm enters first, and the high cost firm follows. If leader's...
