Abstract

The adoption of real options analysis (ROA) by practitioners, despite being widely viewed as a superior method for valuing managerial flexibility, remains limited due to varied difficulties in its implementation. In this work, we propose an approach that utilizes cash-flow estimates from managers as key inputs and results in project value cash-flows that exactly match the arbitrarily distributed estimates. We achieve this through the introduction of an observable, but not tradable, market stochastic driver process which drives the project’s cash-flow, rather than modeling the project value directly. Our framework can be used to value managerial flexibilities and obtain hedges in an easy to implement manner for a variety of real options such as entry/exit, multistage, abandonment, etc. As well, our approach to ROA provides a co-dependence between cash-flows, is consistent with financial theory, requires minimal subjective input of model parameters, and bridges the gap between theoretical ROA frameworks and practice.

This can be easily generalized to a project which pays out a continuous dividend.

In earlier versions of this work, we referred to this process as the market sector indicator.

In principle, it is possible to consider the cash-flow as a continuous stream of cash-flows, in which case (17a) would be modified to \(\mathit{dX}_{s} = (\mu -r)\pi _{s}\,\mathit{ds} +\sigma \,\pi _{s}\,\mathit{dB}_{s} +\varphi _{s}(S_{s})\,\mathit{ds}\). However, Managers rarely specify a continuous stream of cash-flows, and although operations can be viewed as providing income on a continuous basis, we opt to leave the cash-flows discrete as this is how managers typically estimate cash-flow streams.

Since we have diffusion processes driving the relevant dynamics.
