The optimal harvesting problem under risk aversion ∗
We study the exploitation of a one species forest plantation when timber price is uncertain. The work focuses on providing optimality conditions for the optimal harvesting policy in terms of the parameters of the price process and the discount factor. We use risk averse stochastic dynamic programming and use the Conditional Value-at-Risk (CVaR) as our main risk measure. We consider two importan...
متن کاملRisk and Risk Aversion Effects in Contests with Contingent Payments
perc.tamu.edu 1 Contests and the influence of their design reach much further than just the sporting world. Firms seeking new products, investors backing competitors, and government agencies in search of design solutions are all examples of different models of contest design found in the marketplace. Those seeking new technology, innovation, design, and investment must select a winner from many...
متن کاملOptimal investment under operational flexibility, risk aversion, and uncertainty
Traditional real options analysis addresses the problem of investment under uncertainty assuming a risk-neutral decision maker and complete markets. In reality, however, decision makers are often risk averse and markets are incomplete. We confirm that risk aversion lowers the probability of investment and demonstrate how this effect can be mitigated by incorporating operational flexibility in t...
متن کاملDoes risk aversion accelerate optimal forest rotation under uncertainty ?
We use a Wicksellian single rotation framework to analyze the impact of the intertemporally fluctuating and stochastic mean-reverting interest rate process on the optimal harvesting threshold and thereby the expected length of the rotation period, when forest value is also stochastic following geometric Brownian motion and landowners are risk-averse. We provide an explicit solution for the two-...
متن کاملThe State-contingent Approach to Production under Uncertainty the State-contingent Approach to Production under Uncertainty the State-contingent Approach to Production under Uncertainty
Chambers and Quiggin (2000, p i) claim that the state-contingent approach provides the best way to think about all problems in the economics of uncertainty, including problems of consumer choice, the theory of the rm, and principalagent relationships. The purpose of this paper is to restate this claim, and to defend it in the light of recent developments in, and applications of, the state-c...
