PURPOSES: This study evaluates the economic value of national highway construction projects using Real Option Pricing Models. METHODS : We identified the option premium for uncertainties associated with flexibilities according to the future's change in national highway construction projects. In order to evaluate value of future's underlying asset, we calculated the volatility of the unit price per year for benefit estimation such as VOTS, VOCS, VICS, VOPCS and VONCS that the “Transportation Facility Investment Evaluation Guidelines” presented. RESULTS: We evaluated the option premium of underlying asset through a case study of the actual national highway construction projects using ROPM. And in order to predict the changes in the option value of the future's underlying asset, we evaluated the changes of option premium for future's uncertainties by the defer of the start of construction work, the contract of project scale, and the abandon of project during pre-land compensation stages that were occurred frequently in the highway construction projects. Finally we analyzed the sensitivity of the underlying asset using volatility, risk free rate and expiration date of option. CONCLUSIONS: We concluded that a highway construction project has economic value even though static NPV had a negative(-) value because of the sum of the existing static NPV and the option premium for the future's uncertainties associated with flexibilities.

This paper reviews differences between the traditional investment evaluation methods and real option approaches. This study considers management flexibility, contingency and volatility from a strategic management perspective. The roles of various real option approaches are discussed.

The study aims to analyze economic of biogas plant in transition of recognition that waste resources has become renewable energy. The traditional investment valuation method using the NPV or IRR has a limitation in a sense that uncertainty of the future is not reflected. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to assess the value of the business by taking advantage of the real option. Biogas plant simulation is applied to the case of Garak Market using the binomial options among a variety of real options. With this analysis, it is assessed that operational expand option is the largest of the value of the binomial options.

최근들어 온라인게임 개발사에 대한 투자가 활발해짐에 따라 상용화 이전 단계의 온라인 게임 개발사에 대한 투자도 본격적으로 진행되고 있으나, 이들 업체들은 기술적 불확실성 및 시장 불확실성이 매우 높기 때문에 고전적인 가치평가 방법으로는 한계가 존재한다. 따라서, 이러한 불확실성을 효과적으로 반영할 수 있는 실물옵션 방법론을 적용하여야 한다. 이를 블루홀스튜디오의 실제 투자 사례에 대해 적용한 결과, 실물옵션 방법론이 고전적인 가치평가 방법에 비해 더 효과적으로 시장 가치를 설명하며, 실물옵션 방법론 중에서도 MAD(Market Asset Disclaimer) 방법이 더 효과적임을 사례연구를 통해 실증하였다.
