A comment on “ An arbitrage - free approach to quasi - option value ” by Coggins and Ramezani ∗ Paul
In their article “An Arbitrage-Free Approach to Quasi-Option Value” [J. Environm. Econom. Management 35, 103-125, 1998], Coggins and Ramezani interpreted the concept of quasi-option value introduced by Arrow and Fisher [Quart. J. Econom. 88, 1974, 312-319] as being identical to Dixit and Pindyck’s real option value. This means their approach differs from the approach by Fisher and Hanemann [J. ...
متن کاملA Conversation with John Maier
T his year marks the 30th anniversary of the discovery of C60, the carbon cages affectionately known as buckyballs. Astronomers have long speculated that the molecules could be responsible for unusual features in the spectra of starlight, known as diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs). After two decades of research, John P. Maier, professor of chemistry at the University of Basel, in Switzerland, r...
متن کاملOption Value of Cash∗
Using a dynamic model of heterogeneous beliefs where investors agree to disagree, this paper shows: (i) beliefs may diverge, which prevents pessimists from providing liquidity. This prediction is supported by the analyst target price forecasts for ten major banks during the crisis since 2007; (ii) in the case that beliefs cross (i.e., pessimists become more optimistic than the initial optimists...
متن کاملQuasi−option value under ambiguity
Real investments involving irreversibility and ambiguity embed a positive quasi−option value under ambiguity (q.o.v.a.), which modifies the evaluation of an investment decision involving depletion of natural resources by increasing the value of delaying. Q.o.v.a. depends on the specific decision−maker attitude towards ambiguity, expressed by a capacity on the state space. An empirical measure o...
متن کاملMining and quasi-option value∗
We study the timing-of-extraction problem facing a decentralized mine owner when extraction entails environmental damage. As expected, when the environmental damage from mining is known, the socially optimal timing will depend on the magnitude of the damage relative to these costs in the rest of the world. But when environmental damage is uncertain, and these costs are revealed over time, a qua...
