Abstract

This paper provides a review of our research, Bensoussan et al. Refs. 3,4, which explore optimal investment policies for irreversible capital investment projects under uncertainty in monopoly and Stackelberg leader-follower frameworks. Optimal policies derived for the Stackelberg duopoly case in an incomplete market are, to our knowledge, heretofore undocumented. We show that com-petition and market incompleteness have vital impacts on investment decisions. In our survey, we present models in the case of complete markets and in the case of incomplete markets with different types of investment payoffs and market competition frameworks. We discuss model setup, explaining solution tech-nique and procedure. We provide major results and theorem, and refer proofs and details to our original papers Refs. 3,4.
