The financial valuation of investment projects of new technologies requires of a certain degree of flexibility in implementing future investment strategies. Unfortunately, the criterion of net present value is quite rigid in dealing with investment plans because they can not be changed, that is,...

This research develops, under the assumption of complete markets, a stochastic model that explains the decision making process of a rational consumer-investor selecting a portfolio in a market risk environment subject to his budget constraint. The proposed model is developed in the framework of...

This research develops a stochastic model of the consumer's decision making under an environment of risk and uncertainty. In the proposed model agents perceive that a mixed diffusionjump process drives the exchange rate depreciation and a diffusion process governs the real interest rate, these...

In this paper, based on the concept of Shannon entropy, we propose a measure of market efficiency by using the empirical density function of returns. Under certain conditions of ergodicity and stationarity, it is shown that the sample entropy converges to the entropy of the dominant state. It is...

This paper extends the method of discounted cash flows to value investment projects through incorporating real options. It is assumed the cash flows generated by the firm are correlated with macroeconomic fundamentals, particularly with the interest rate. It is also assumed that the cash flows...

In this work, we analyze the log-stable option pricing model, we estimate the parameters of the distribution of the peso-dollar exchange depreciation rate through the methods: 1) maximum likelihood, 2) tabulated quantiles of stable distributions and 3) regression on the sample characteristic...

The aim of this paper is to analyze the market risk of two types of investment funds, Basic SIEFORE 1 (SB1) and Basic SIEFORE 2 (SB2). To do this, we propose a performance index that will be used in ARIMA-GARCH models and some of its extensions, with the purpose of examining the dynamic behavior...
