| CAPACITY PLANNING UNDER UNCERTAINTY: AN ASIAN OPTION APPROACH (2009) | |||||||||||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||||||||||
| This short paper introduces the concept of Asian options in the capacity choice literature. We develop a simple model for optimal capacity setting under average demand uncertainty for a single firm. When the firm faces moderate or significant stochastic demands in its current product line, expanding capacity is beneficial. If the demand is extremely stochastic, a capacity lag or reduction is more profitable. | |||||||||||||||||
