A real options approach to investment in factor demand models

Author

  • Stein Ostbye

A real options approach to investment is used to derive a new full static equilibrium condition for capital within the framework of a restricted variable cost function. Empirical evidence suggests that the use of the traditional equilibrium condition may be grossly misleading.
