摘要
In asymmetrical case, the paper considers irreversible investment in competing research projects with uncertain returns. Uncertainty takes two distinct forms: the technological success of the project takes place randomly according to a Poisson distribution, while the economic value of the patent to be won evolves stochastically over time. This paper presents the optimal investment rule of high-efficient firm (leader), and showed that the investment threshold values are reduced by competition of two firms.
