ABSTRACT
A relatively simple analytic model, called AnMod, and a sophisticated Monte Carlo simulation model, called DecSim, of sequences of capital rationing investment decisions are described briefly. AnMod is an effective predictor of the expected performance of various capital rationing selection procedures and of the potential effects of capital budgeting policies considered by entities in realistic capital budgeting decision environments. Numerical examples of its use are presented. The major results of over 20 years of research using DecSim, its two predecessors and related simulation models is summarized. That research includes investigations of the potential affect on an entity's ...
