This paper analyses the effects of relaxing one of the critical underlying assumptions of the textbook approach to investment under uncertainty for partial equilibrium models. Most textbook models assume that either the potential investor has access to a single project or she can consider...

This paper addresses the e¤ects for partial equilibrium models of relaxing one of the critical underlying assumptions of the textbook approach (Dixit and Pyndick, 1994) to investment under uncertainty: either the potential investor has access to a single project or she can consider competing...

This paper proposes a method to asses the potential problems of sustainability of a country's sovereign debt. We claim that the relevant variables used for this analysis are typically subject to changes which are associated with changes in macroeconomics policies. We propose a procedure for...

e develop a model of regime-switching risk premia as well as regimedependent factor risk premia to price real options. The model incorporates the observation that the underlying risky income streams of real options are subject to discrete shifts over time as well as random changes. The presence...

We examine several discrete-time term-structure models, in which the short rate is subject to discrete shifts. Our empirical analysis suggests that inquiring which parameters of the short-term interest rate equation are allowed to switch is crucial. Failing to do so may result in switching...
