Delays in Public Investment Projects
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2021The returns from public investment, especially during periods of scaling up, are often lower than expected. To understand the mechanisms behind this regularity we exploit original information on investment projects obtained from World Bank project reports to document the extent and the drivers of time delays in project implementation.

The main objective of investments in information systems and technology is to increase operational efficiency, reduce costs, and improve the quality levels provided by organizations. In the last decades, IS/IT has positioned itself as a strategic tool that, through innovative combinations, has allowed the flexibility that organizations need to respond ...

Optimal Investment Selection with a Multitude of Projects
Econometrica, 1995The authors consider the problem of finding a schedule of investment and re-investment which maximizes terminal wealth in a stationary and risk-free investment environment. They assume given several investment projects which are divisible and exhibit constant returns-to-scale. They introduce the ``upper envelope'', a technique for evaluating bundles of

The Rate of Return of Selected Investment Projects
The Journal of Finance, 1978CASUAL EMPIRICISM INDICATES that capital investment projects actually yield, on average, a smaller rate of return than that calculated on the basis of cost and revenue streams projected at the time of project acceptance. One obvious explanation for this phenomenon is that those who evaluate potential projects tend to be overoptimistic; on average, they

A Probability Model for the Size of Investment Projects
2015 IEEE European Modelling Symposium (EMS), 2015Project size, as measured by the amount of investment required, is a relevant parameter to be used in project selection. The evaluation of a project portfolio must consider the variety of project sizes that may be met, so that a proper model should be adopted to describe that variety, especially for its use in simulation.
