Economically optimal timing for crop disease control under uncertainty: an options approach
Severe large-scale disease and pest infestations in agricultural regions can cause significant economic damage. Understanding if and when disease control measures should be taken in the presence of risk and uncertainty is a key issue. We develop a framework to examine the economically optimal timing of treatment. The decision to treat should only be undertaken when the benefits exceed the costs...
متن کاملOptimal investment timing and location under uncertainty
We consider an investment problem such as a construction of power plants. The uncertainties, which are considered in this investment problem, are the evolution of cash flows obtained from the plant operation, and the catastrophic event, which drives the value of the project to zero due to external factors, such as earthquake. We show the model of a sequential investment as well as that of a sin...
متن کاملThe Optimal Timing of Technology Adoption Under Uncertainty
This paper develops a timing game of technology upgrading between ex ante identical firms. There is objective uncertainty regarding the future release dates of more efficient technologies. The model is aimed at examining the dynamic process by which oligopolistic firms adopt new technologies as these technologies evolve with time. Using a novel dataset, I hope to estimate the model in the conte...
متن کاملOptimal Timing of Information Security Investment: A Real Options Approach
This paper applies real options analytic framework to firms’ investment activity in information security technology and then a dynamic analysis of information security investment is explored by extending Gordon-Loeb (2002). The current research provides how firms have to respond to immediate or remote threat numerically. It shows that although positive drift of threat causes both larger and lat...
متن کاملOptimal Timing to Purchase Options
We study the optimal timing of derivative purchases in incomplete markets. In our model, an investor attempts to maximize the spread between her model price and the offered market price through optimally timing her purchase. Both the investor and the market value the options by risk-neutral expectations but under different equivalent martingale measures representing different market views. The ...
