An Option Games Model for Strategic Investment under Incomplete Information
This paper studies the firms optimal preemption timing and its perfect Bayesian investment equilibrium. The research shows that the optimal investment is between NPV threshold and the monopolys optimal strategy;the value of real options can be eroded by competition while the introduction of incomplete information weakens the erosion,which indicates waiting is valuable even in very drastic preemption competition;and the greater the risk is,the further in advance the firm invests but the option value of waiting decreases.
