This paper analyses the impact of a tradable production quota on firm entry and exit in the agricultural industry. We develop a dynamic stochastic equilibrium framework considering that a release of production capacity by exiting firms affects the investment options for entrants. Firms'...

Within this paper, we aim to investigate asymmetries among bidders in land auctions that may entail non-competitive prices. Using representative data for Eastern Germany including winning bids, bidder characteristics, and land amenities, we pursue a structural approach to derive distributions of...

Spätestens seit Erscheinen des viel zitierten Buches „Investment under Uncertainty“ von Dixitund Pindyck (1994) erfährt die neue Investitionstheorie (synonym: Realoptionstheorie) großeAufmerksamkeit. Neben theoretischen Weiterentwicklungen und Verfeinerungen wird dieRealoptionstheorie in...

Numerous studies have tried to provide a better understanding of firm-level investment behaviour using econometric models. The model specification of more recent studies has been based on two main approaches. The first, the real options approach, focuses on irreversibility and uncertainty in...

In der Literatur werden zahlreiche Versuche unternommen, das Investitionsverhalten von Unternehmen durch die Anwendung ökonometrischer Modelle zu verstehen. Die Spezifikation dieser Modelle stützt sich in der jüngeren Vergangenheit auf zwei Theoriebereiche. Zum einen ist dies die neue...
