چکیده

We provide a general valuation approach for capital budgeting decisions involving the modularization in the design of a system. Within the framework developed by Baldwin and Clark (2000), we implement a valuation approach using a numerical procedure based on the Least Squares Monte Carlo method proposed by Longstaff and Schwartz (2001). The approach is accurate, general and flexible.

Mining Overlapping Communities in Real-world Networks Based on Extended Modularity Gain

Detecting communities plays a vital role in studying group level patterns of a social network and it can be helpful in developing several recommendation systems such as movie recommendation, book recommendation, friend recommendation and so on. Most of the community detection algorithms can detect disjoint communities only, but in the real time scenario, a node can be a member of more than one ...

An Extension of Least Squares Monte Carlo Simulation for Multi-options Problems

This paper provides a valuation algorithm based on Monte Carlo simulation for valuing a wide set of capital budgeting problems with many embedded real options dependent on many state variables. Along the lines of Gamba and Trigeorgis (2002b), we decompose a complex real option problem with many options into a set of simple options, properly taking into account deviations from value additivity d...

A real option analysis approach to evaluating digital government investment

Real option analysis has been studied and applied in evaluating information technology (IT) investments for more than a decade. Its advantages over the traditional discounted cash flow techniques have been widely recognized in the information systems (IS) community. However real option analysis has yet to be seen in valuing digital government projects where the real option analysis and option t...
