| Abstract: | There is substantial evidence that agents are impatient about choices in the short term but are patient when choosing btw. long-term alternatives. This paper extends the real options framework to model the investment-timing (here as: inv-tmg.) decisions of entrepreneurs with time-inconsistent (as: tm-inct.) preferences. The impact on inv-tmg. depends on such factors as whether entrepreneurs are sophisticated or naive in their expectations regarding their future tm-inct. behaviour, and whether the payoff from investment occurs all at once or over time. The model is extended to a competitive equilibrium case. |
