We derive a new equation for the optimal investment boundary of a general irreversible investment problem under exponential Lévy uncertainty. The problem is set as an infinite time-horizon, two-dimensional degenerate singular stochastic control problem. In line with the results recently...

based on introducing stochastic idiosyncratic cash flow risk into an equity valuation model of firms with growth options …. Within our model, a firm's systematic risk depends on the delta of its growth option. The growth option's delta is lower when … idiosyncratic volatility rises, driving down the firm's systematic risk and hence its expected return - firms with higher …

The levels of uncertainty surrounding construction projects are particularly high and construction managers should be aware that adequately managing the effects of the different types of uncertainty may lead to an increase in the overall performance of construction companies. The model proposed...

The conventional wisdom that housing prices are the present value of future rents ignores the fact that rents are not discretionary as in dividends on stocks. Housing price uncertainty can affect household property investment, which in turn affects rent. By extending the theory of investment...

The binomial model presents a set of properties that make it a suitable approach in order to value the real options, throughout an easy and practical application. This is possible by the adaptation of the valuation principle for non-arbitrage, own of the options pricing theory. However, their...

This paper surveys the theoretical literature investigating the effect of firms' investment flexibility on the cross-section of expected stock returns. Real options analysis derives firms' value-maximizing investment policies as functions of exogenous fundamental drivers of profitability and...

Investment-based asset pricing research highlights the role of irreversibility as a determinant of firms' risk and … flexibility (i.e., contraction and expansion options) is to determine the relation between risk and operating leverage: risk … these characteristics in stock returns and risk …

This paper develops a dynamic option-based model for the valuation of rental and other similarly structured lease contracts under the conditions of uncertainty that is then solved by statistical simulation (Monte Carlo). The motivation, research background and methodology of the paper follow up...
