We model R&D efforts to enhance the value of a product or technology before final development. Such efforts may be directed
towards improving quality, adding new features, or adopting technological innovations. They are implemented as optional, costly
and interacting control actions expected to enhance value but with uncertain outcome. We examine the interesting issues of
the optimal timing of R&D, the impact of lags in the realization of the R&D outcome, and the choice between accelerated versus
staged (sequential) R&D. These issues are also especially interesting since the history of decisions affects future decisions
and the distributions of asset prices and induces path-dependency. We show that the existence of optional R&D efforts enhances
the investment option value significantly. The impact of a dividend-like payout rate or of project volatility on optimal R&D
decisions may be different with R&D timing flexibility than without. The attractiveness of sequential strategies is enhanced
in the presence of learning-by-doing and decreasing marginal reversibility of capital effects. 相似文献

A binomial lattice approach is proposed for valuing options whose payoff depends on multiple state variables following correlated geometric Brownian processes. The proposed approach relies on two simple ideas: a log‐transformation of the underlying processes, which is step by step consistent with the continuous‐time diffusions, and a change of basis of the asset span, to transform asset prices into uncorrelated processes. An additional transformation is applied to approximate driftless dynamics. Even if these features are simple and straightforward to implement, it is shown that they significantly improve the efficiency of the multi‐dimensional binomial algorithm. A thorough test of efficiency is provided compared with most popular binomial and trinomial lattice approaches for multi‐dimensional diffusions. Although the order of convergence is the same for all lattice approaches, the proposed method shows improved efficiency. 相似文献
