Investment and capacity choice under uncertain demand
Article Abstract:
A real options study was conducted concerning an investment problem, where a company has to determine optimal investment timing and optimal capacity choice at the same time under conditions of irreversible investment expenditures and uncertainty in future demand. After the project is set up with a certain maximum capacity, this capacity is fixed as an upper boundary to the output and cannot be reset at a later date. Findings showed that, in the framework of this once and for all decision, uncertainty in future demand causes a rise in optimal installed capacity.
