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...

Theoretical study identifying one modality with conditions necesary for the financial stabilization of an inherently unstable system; and 5040 other unstable dynamic modes. It draws on knowledge made available by the academic field of Control Engineering.

It has become almost standard practice in Delaware appraisal proceedings for the courts to adjust discount rates downward by the projected rate of inflation and GDP growth so as to reflect the prospect of higher future returns because of these factors. Since the value of a business varies...

Over the past two decades the Ohlson Residual Income Model for equity valuation has drawn much attention concerning its advantages when compared to traditional models (DDM, FCFM). This paper attempts to empirically investigate the validity of the Ohlson Residual Income model using data from the...

Maintaining a competitive edge requires a firm to replace deteriorating business lines with new projects. Accordingly, part of a firm's value resides in its ability to exploit new opportunities. This article incorporates adaptation into Ohlson's residual income valuation framework and obtains a...

This article distinguishes earnings risk from prospective earnings variability, and identifies accounting systems in which earnings volatility is a reasonable proxy for risk. Then, it investigates the impact of earnings risk on reservation values within a Jorgensonian setting. Solving the...

This paper discusses equity valuation on a per share basis and in a stochastic term structure of discount factors framework. The value of equity has been explicitly expressed in a no-growth component, which is proxied by either capitalised next period earnings or open book value, and growth...
