    Authors: Marta, Biancardi; Michele, Bufalo; Antonio Di, Bari;  Advisor: -;  Co-Author: - (2023)

    In the last decades, the production of fuel ethanol from corn has spread as a valid renewable alternative to pursue sustainability goals. However the uncertain nature of both input (corn) and output (gasoline) prices, together with price dependent operational decisions, combine to make this difficult plant valuation require a real options approach. Moreover, this project is characterized by various sequential stages that contribute to increase its valuation difficulties. The purpose of this paper is to provide a reliable valuation methodology of a corn ethanol plant project able to consider the characteristics of the project. We apply the compound Real Options Approach to price a corn ethanol plant project considering that the corn and gasoline prices both follow a skew-geometric Br...
