Abstract

Flexibility, uncertainty, and irreversibility provide gains from waiting. These gains have been elaborated in the context of finance (financial option), investment (real option), and environmental policy (quasi option). While the financial and real option values are closely linked as the real option value theory has been developed from the financial option value theory the quasi option value originated from environmental economics and the link with financial and real option value theory is less obvious. A comparison between the three option theories shows similarities as well as differences. Knowing in particular the cause of differences will be important for understanding why either of the approach may yield a different result, for the interpretation of the results, and for the choice of approach.

The value matching condition sustains that the value of the option to release the transgenic crop is equivalent to the value of immediate release. The smooth pasting condition says that at the point of value matching a marginal change in the value of the option to release the transgenic crop has to be equal to a marginal change in the value of immediate release [11, pp. 130–132].
