This paper analyzes the firm's choice between serving a foreign market through exports or foreign affiliate sales in an environment characterized by country speci c shocks to the cost of production. Our model predicts that country pairs with less correlated output fluctuations trade more,...

, irrespective of the fact that the specific risk strongly varies with the technology concerned and also over time. In order to … endogenize the technology-specific risk, we develop a new model that explicitly accounts for the (likewise technology …

There is wide debate over the impact of uncertainty on firm behavior, due to the difficulty both of measuring uncertainty and of identifying causality. This paper takes three steps that attempt to address these challenges. First, we develop an instrumental variables strategy that exploits firms'...

Many economic variables of interest exhibit a tendency to revert to predictable long-run levels. However, mean reverting processes are rarely used in investment models in the literature. In most models, geometric Brownian motion processes are used for tractability. In this paper, a firm's entry...

The levels of uncertainty surrounding construction projects are particularly high and construction managers should be aware that adequately managing the effects of the different types of uncertainty may lead to an increase in the overall performance of construction companies. The model proposed...

Real option theory models real estate development as a developer-controlled exercise of an option to construct the … a compound development option, where the developer begins with minimal control and maximum risk, and each successful … stage increases control and reduces risk. We solve the model analytically, provide three-dimensional numerical comparisons …
