Abstract
In this paper the technology investment decision of a firm is analyzed, while competition on the output market is explicitly taken into account. Technology choice is irreversible and the firms face a stochastic innovation process with uncertainty about the speed of arrival of new technologies. The innovation process is exogenous to the firms. For reasons of market saturation and the fact that more modern technologies are invented as time passes, the demand for a given technology decreases over time. This implies that also the sunk cost investment of each technology decreases over time.
