Abstract: We study a normative model of an internal capital market that a company uses to choose between its two divisions’ projects. Each project's value is initially unknown to all, but can be dynamically learned by the corresponding division. Learning can be suspended or resumed at any time and is costly. We characterize an internal capital market that maximizes the company’s expected cash flow.
