Real options: Capital investment appraisal; estimating the market price of risk and application to the valuation of a new business

Abstract

Abstract. The risk-neutral valuation approach to evaluating an investment avoids the need to estimate risk-adjusted discount rates, but it does require the market price of risk parameters for all stochastic variables. When historical data is available on a particular variable, its market price of risk can be estimated using the capital asset pricing model.Keywords.
