We study the combined effects of revenue and cost uncertainty as well competition on the timing optimization of investments in complementarity inputs for duopoly markets where either spillover-knowledge is allowed or where proprietary-knowledge holds. For some input-sequencing investment...

We develop a model for determining the optimal timing and capacity choice of investment under floors and ceilings (collars). We study how a welfare maximizing finite-lived collar can be optimally designed. Our findings show that for a linear demand function, multiple collar arrangements are...
