Title
Capacity investment choices under cost heterogeneity and output flexibility in oligopoly
Abstract
•The firm invests in larger capacity when the economic environment is more uncertain.•A lower-cost firm invests in larger capacity, while a less efficient rival chooses lower capacity.•Higher uncertainty leads to more dispersion of equilibrium capacities and greater industry concentration.•More competition thus induces a welfare loss when uncertainty and cost heterogeneity are high.
