Consistency with financial theory Intuitively appealing Practical to implement 10 / 53
11 Introduction: Real Options Approaches * As classified by Borison (2005) 11 / 53
12 Relevant Literature - Utility Based Models Berk et al. 1 developed a real options framework for valuing early stage R&D projects Accounts for: technical uncertainty, cash-flow uncertainty, obsolescence, cost uncertainty Value of the project is a function of a GBM process representing the cash-flows Main issue: how to fit real managerial cash-flow estimates to a GBM process Miao and Wang 2, and Henderson 3 Present incomplete market real options models that show standard real options, which assume complete markets, can lead to contradictory results 1 See Berk, Green, and Naik (2004). 2 See Miao and Wang (2007). 3 See Henderson (2007). 12 / 53
13 Matching Method Advantages The approach utilizes managerial cash-flow estimates The approach is theoretically consistent Provides a mechanism to account for systematic versus idiosyncratic risk Provides a mechanism to properly correlate cash-flows from period to period The approach requires little subjectivity with respect to parameter estimation The approach provides a missing link between practical estimation and theoretical frameworks 13 / 53
14 RO in R&D Applications: Managerial Cash-Flow Estimates Managers provide cash flow estimates 14 / 53
15 RO in R&D Type Applications: Two Approaches Managers supply low, medium and high sales and cost estimates (numerical solution) Managers supply ± sales and cost estimates from which a standard deviation can be determined for a normal distribution (analytical solution) 15 / 53
16 RO in R&D Type Applications: Low, Medium and High Sales and Cost Estimates Managers supply revenue and GM% estimates Scenario End of Year Sales (Margin%) Optimistic (50%) (60%) (65%) (60%) (60%) (55%) (55%) Most Likely (30%) (40%) (40%) (40%) (35%) (35%) (35%) Pessimistic (20%) (20%) (20%) (20%) (15%) (10%) (10%) SG&A* 10% 5% 5% 5% 5% 5% 5% Fixed Costs * Sales / General and Administrative Costs 16 / 53

18 Real Options in R&D Type Applications Problem: How should we value the cash flows? How should we account for managerial risk aversion? Approach: Apply matching method with MMM to value cash flows Apply indifference pricing to determine the value with manager s risk aversion Why Account for Risk Aversion: MMM assumes investors are fully diversified Impact of managerial risk aversion on the valuation of a real options project can enhance decision making 18 / 53
19 Market Stochastic Driver Traded index / asset di t = µi t dt + σi t dw t Assume there exists a Market Stochastic Driver / Indicator correlated to the traded index ds t = νs t dt + ηs t (ρdw t + 1 ρ 2 dw t ) Market stochastic driver does not need to be traded could represent market size / revenues is not constrained to a GBM process Risk-neutral MMM di t = ri t dt + σi t d W t ( ds t = νs t dt + ρηs t d W t + ) 1 ρ 2 dw ν = ν ρη σ (µ r) 19 / 53 t

21 Match Cash Flow Payoff Each cash flow is effectively an option on the market stochastic driver, V T = ϕ(s T ), and so, we match probabilities P(ϕ(S T ) < v) = F (v) P(S T < ϕ 1 (v)) = F (ϕ(s)) η2 (ν P(S 0 e 2 )T +η T Z < S) = F (ϕ(s)), Z N(0, 1) P P (Z < ln S S 0 (ν η2 2 )T ) η = F (ϕ(s)) T ( ln S S Φ 0 (ν η2 2 )T ) η = F (ϕ(s)) T 21 / 53

24 Risk-Neutral Measure Theorem The GBM Risk-Neutral Distribution. The conditional distribution function F vk S t (v) of v k conditional on S t at t, for 0 < t < T k, under the measure Q is given by ( ) T F vk S t (v) = Φ k T k t Φ 1 (Fk (v)) λ k (t, S t ) where the pseudo-market-price-of-risk λ k (t, S) = 1 η T k t ln S + ν 1 2 η2 Tk t ν 1 2 η2 T k S 0 η η Tk t. Note that as t 0 and S S 0 then λ k (t, S) ρ µ r σ Tk, i.e. the valuation is independent of ν and η. 24 / 53

26 Matching Cash-Flows for Normally Distributed Estimates Assume that the managers have provided cash-flow estimates of the form N(µ k, σ 2 k ) Assume the Market Stochastic Driver to be a Brownian motion Assume that there exists a cash-flow process: F t Introduce a collection of functions ϕ k (S t ) such that at each T k, F Tk = ϕ k (S Tk ) Theorem The Replicating Cash-Flow Payoff. The cash-flow payoff function ϕ k (s) which produces the managerial specified ( distribution Φ s µk for the cash-flows at time T k, when the underlying driving uncertainty S t is a BM, and S 0 = 0, is given by σ k ) ϕ k (s) = σ k Tk s + µ F k. 26 / 53
27 Value of the Cash-Flows for Normally Distributed Estimates Theorem Value of the Cash-Flows.

For a given set of cash-flow estimates, normally distributed with mean µ k and standard deviation σ k, given at times T k, where k = 1, 2,..., n, the value of the option at time t < T 0 to invest the amount K at time T 0 < T k to receive these cash flows is given by [ ( ) ( )] RO t(s t) = e r(t 0 t) ξ1(s t) K ξ1(s t) K (ξ 1(S t) K) Φ + ξ 2 φ where Φ( ) and φ( ) are the standard normal distribution and density functions, respectively, and n ( ) ξ 1(S t) = e r(t k T 0 ) σk (S t + ν(t k t)) + µ k, Tk k=1 ξ 2 = T 0 t n k=1 e r(t k T 0 ) ξ 2 σ k Tk. ξ 2 28 / 53
29 Utility Maximization Assume exponential utility u(x) = e γx γ γ 0 represents managerial risk aversion Manager has two options: 1) invest in the market, or 2) invest in the real option Goal is to maximize the terminal utility in each of the two options and determine the indifference price 29 / 53
30 Optimal Investment in the Traded Index (Merton Model) Invest in market only, with π t invested in the risky asset dx t = (rx t + π t (µ r))dt + π t σdw t And maximize expected terminal utility V (t, x) = sup π t E [u(x T ) X t = x] Applying standard arguments leads to the PDE t V 1 (µ r) 2 ( x V ) 2 2 σ 2 xx V + rx xv = 0 with V (T, x) = u(x), and the solution is given by V (t, x) = 1 γ e 1 2( µ r σ ) 2 (T t) γe r(t t)x. 30 / 53
31 Optimal Investment in the Real Option Project Wealth dynamics are given as dx t = (rx t + π t (µ r)) dt + π t σdw t, t / [T 0, T 1,..., T n ] X T0 = X T K1 A 0 X Tj = X T + ϕ(s j )1 A, j [1, 2,..., n] j where 1 A represents the indicator function equal to 1 if the real option is exercised The manager seeks to maximize his expected terminal utility as U(t, x, s) = sup E [u(x T ) X t = x, S t = s] π t Applying standard arguments, it can be shown that the solution to U(t, x, s) can be achieved by solving the following PDE t U+rx x U+νs s U+ 1 2 ssuη 2 s 2 1 ((µ r) x U + ρσηs sx U) 2 2 σ 2 = 0 xx U 31 / 53
32 Optimal Investment in the Real Option Project (con t) Boundary conditions U(T j, x, s) = U(T + j, x, s)e γϕ(s), for j = 1,..., n 1 U(T n, x, s) = u(x + ϕ n (s)) Using the substitution U(t, x, s) = V (t, x)(h(t, s)) 1 1 ρ 2 results in the simplified PDE t H + ˆνs s H η2 s 2 ss H = 0 with H(T n, s) = e γ(1 ρ2 )ϕ n(s Tn ), and t (T n 1, T n ] Apply dynamic programming, where at each t = T j, j = {1, 2,..., n 1}, set H(T j, s) = H(T + j, s)e γ(1 ρ2 )ϕ j (S Tj ) 32 / 53
33 The Indifference Price At t = T 0, we should invest in the real option if (H(T + 0, s)) 1 1 ρ 2 e γker(tn T + 0 ) 1 Defining f as the indifference price, i.e. the value of the real option, and setting U(t, x f, s) = V (t, x) leads to f (t, s) = 1 ln H(t, γ(1 ρ 2 s)e r(tn t) ) 33 / 53
34 The Indifference Price for Normally Distributed Estimates Theorem Real Option Value of Risky Cash-Flows Accounting for Risk Aversion. For a given set of cash-flow estimates, normally distributed with mean µ k and standard deviation σ k, given at times T k, where k = 1, 2,..., n, the value of the option at time t < T 0 to invest the amount K at time T 0 < T k to receive these cash flows accounting for risk aversion, where the utility of the investor is given by u(x) = eγx γ, is given by f (t, s) = 1 ln H(t, γ(1 ρ 2 s)e r(tn t) ) where H(t, s) = Φ( B(t, s)) + e ξ2 t 2 Ĉ(t, s)φ(ξt B(t, s)). 34 / 53
