Cash Flow Multipliers and Optimal Investment Decisions
By postulating a simple stochastic process for the firm’s cash flows in which the drift and the variance of the process depend on the investment policy of the firm, we develop a theoretical model, determine the optimal investment policy and, given this policy, calculate the ratio of the current value of the firm and the current cash flow which we call the “cash flow multiplier”. The main contri...
متن کاملA discretionary stopping problem with applications to the optimal timing of investment decisions ∗
We consider the discretionary stopping problem that aims at maximising the performance criterion Ex [ e R τ 0 sg(Xτ )1{τ<∞} ] over all stopping times τ , where X is a general one-dimensional positive Itô diffusion, r is a strictly positive function and g is a given payoff function. This optimal stopping problem has several applications in mathematical finance and economics. These include the pr...
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 کاملLet Managers Decide: Designing Contracts for Optimal Investment Decisions
Real options literature commonly assumes that, either the investment opportunity is directly managed by the owners, or the managers are perfectly aligned with them. However, agency conflicts occur and managers reveal interests not totally in line with those of the shareholders. This may have a major impact on the value maximizing decisions, namely, on the optimal timing to invest. This paper co...
متن کاملOptimal Consumption-Investment Decisions Allowing for Bankruptcy: A Survey
This paper surveys the research on optimal consumption and investment problem of an agent who is subject to bankruptcy that has a speciied utility (reward or penalty). The bankruptcy utility, modeled by a parameter, may be the result of welfare subsidies, the agent's innate ability to recover from bankruptcy, psychic costs associated with bankruptcy, etc. Models with nonnegative consumption, po...
