Valuation of Two-Stage Contraction Options with the American Exercise Right: A Discontinuous Galerkin Approach
Original language description
Determining the true profitability of investment opportunities is essential in decision-making. This is particularly typical for sequential investments that follow a specific order. This study focuses on a specific type of sequential investment, known as a compound option to contract. When applying the real options approach, the values of investments projects are governed by a relevant partial differential equation of two variables: time and output commodity price, which follows a relevant stochastic process. As the investment project’s flexibility is similar to an American-style put on put option, traditional valuation techniques of conventional financial options can be easily applied. In order to improve the numerical evaluation procedure, we employ a semi-implicit time stepping scheme together with a discontinuous Galerkin approach for spatial discretization, incorporating a penalty technique to handle the early exercise constraint. We follow a backward induction, beginning with the finished project, calculating the values of the option to contract in the second stage and in the first stage (subsequently) to find a present value of the compound option. Finally, the proposed numerical scheme is applied to a simple conceptual decision-making problem.
