Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Use of Real Options Methodology to Pasturelands EvaluationA. Michailidis, F. Chatzitheodoridis, I. Mountousis, K. PapanikolaouThis study demonstrates the utility of the real options approach to pasturelands investment analysis. The main objectives are to discuss the real options theory and show how it can be adopted to model uncertainty and managerial flexibility in pasture management (enlargement plan) and investment. Secondly, we show how to calculate the option values of selected options that may be available … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2006 · 6,763 accessesView PDFCite
