Exercising real options: the case of voluntary liquidations
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a theoretical and empirical model of voluntary liquidation. Using the insight from real options literature, we examine the rationale and optimality of US corporate voluntary liquidations for 1990-2000. We test the key predictions from the optimal option exercise boundary. OLS regressions suggest that both the interest effect and the variance effect are at work. However, it seems that performance variability is the key to liquidation decision. We therefore conclude that real options models have explanatory power.

متن کاملAn evolutionary real options framework for the design and management of projects and systems with complex real options and exercising conditions
a r t i c l e i n f o To address the issue of decision support for designing and managing flexible projects and systems in the face of uncertainties, this paper integrates real options valuation, decision analysis techniques, Monte Carlo simulations and evolutionary algorithms in an evolutionary real options framework. The proposed evolutionary real options framework searches for an optimized p...
متن کاملEffect of Implementation Time on Real Options Valuation
Exercising real options often requires an implementation time, whereas financial options can be exercised instantly. Neglecting the implementation time needed to exercise a real option causes overvaluing that option. We develop lattice and Monte Carlo simulation techniques to value real option problems, where exercising the option requires an implementation time. We present the application of t...

Investment in renewable energies especially solar energies encounters numerous uncertainties considering the increased dynamism in economic and financial conditions. It is thus important to use modern methods of economic appraisal for such investments. Our study provides a framework for use of the real option theory for economic appraisal of a 2MW photovoltaic plant in Isfahan province (as a ca...
متن کاملRisk Uncertainty and Supply Chain Decisions: A Real Options Perspective
Supply chain risk uncertainty can create severe repercussions, thus it is not surprising that research interest in supply chain risk has been growing. While extant inquiry is informative, there is a lack of investigations that center on supply chain investment decisions when facing high levels of risk uncertainty. Given the potential dollar value involved in these decisions, an understanding of...
