This paper extends real options theory to consider the situation where the mean appreciation rate of cash flows generated by an irreversible investment project is not observable and governed by an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. Our main purpose is to analyze the impact of the uncertainty of the...

This paper extends the Goetzmann, Ingersoll, and Ross (2003) model to the case of partial information, where the expected return of a hedge fund is not observable but known to be either high or low. The fund manager can dynamically update his belief about the true value of the expected return...

The paper considers the option of an investor to invest in a project that generates perpetual cash flows, of which the drift parameter is unobservable. The investor invests in a liquid financial market to partially hedge cash flow risk and estimation risk. We derive two 3-dimensional non-linear...

This paper aims to clarify how contingent convertible bond (CCB) as a debt financing instrument affects the firm's investment policy, agency cost of debt and capital structure. We consider two different conversion thresholds of CCB: One is endogenous and the other is exogenous. We find that...

This paper extends the Goetzmann et al. (J Financ 58:1685–1717, <CitationRef CitationID="CR6">2003</CitationRef>) model to the case of partial information, where the expected return of a hedge fund is not observable but known to be either high or low. The fund manager can dynamically update his belief about the true value of the...</citationref>

This paper studies the pricing, timing and hedging of an American call option written on a non-tradable asset whose mean appreciation rate is not observable but is known to be a Gaussian random variable. Our goal is to analyze the effects of the partial information on investment in the American...
