machinery decisions. Infinite horizon valuation models of replacement and other investment …

Subsequently, Pulley [4] demonstrates that IKLM is not invariant to the value of ENU, although
it is invariant to linear transformations of the utility function. Pulley suggests that utility …

Extensive research on the ability of a carefully selected mean-variance efficient portfolio to
