The agent seeks to maximize his reputation for learning. Equilibrium investment behavior is dictated by the prior about the project: the agent can be more willing to invest in projects that are ex-ante less likely to succeed. Compared to a benchmark where the agent is profit-driven, investment timing may be either premature or delayed. For projects with a low probability of success or large downside potential, reputation induces premature investment. Meanwhile, for projects with a high probability of success, reputation induces delayed investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"about-sara-shahanagui\"\n    >\n<strong>±¬ÁϳԹÏÍø Sara Shahanagui<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sara Shahanaghi is a microeconomic theorist at the Toulouse School of Economics.
