Delay in finite time capital accumulation

Abstract

This paper compares two classes of time-to-install/deliver and time-to build models in a finite time framework. We show that in case of no salvage value the two problems are equivalent. However, if a salvage value is added, this property is typically lost. Copyright The Author(s) 2010
