Overview: Neo-classical investment decision criteria suggest that only the systematic component of the total risk affect the rate of investment, as channeled through the built-asset price. Alternatively, option-base investment model suggests a direct role for total uncertainty in investment decision marketing. To sort out uncertainty role in the investment, they estimate a structural model of asset-market equilibrium. Empirical results generally favor predictions of the option-based model and hence suggests that irreversibility and delay are important considerations to investors. The findings also have implications for macroeconomics and for forecast of cyclical investment activity.
