  • Development Real Options Valuation Models for Pollutant Reduction Investment under Ambiguity and Their Applications
    辻村 元男
    2021年度の主な研究成果として,辻村(2021)と吉岡・辻村(2021)について述べる。 まず,辻村(2021)は,企業はアウトプットの需要と資本価格に対する不確実性に直面しており,その下で需要に応じて資本ストックの規模を変更する問題を考察した。企業の資本投資の分析では,多くの場合,資本への投資費用は全額埋没費用である場合について考察している。これに対して,本研究は,資本を他の企業あるいは中古市場に売却ができる場合について考察した。すなわち,資本投資は完全に不可逆ではなく部分的に不可逆である場合を考察した。資本ストックの規模を変更する際には,資本の購入額あるいは売却額に加えて,資本の変更水準とは独立な費用を考慮した。投資規模とは独立した費用の定式化については,Abel and Eberly (1998)を参考とした。こうした事業環境下で,企業がいつ・どれだけ資本ストックの規模を変更すれば良いかについて考察した。 企業の問題は,確率インパルス制御問題として定式化され,準変分不等式を用いて問題を解くことができる。本研究では,準変分不等式を示し,最適な投資規模変更政策を特徴付ける6つの閾値を用いて,資本規模を拡張する領域,資本規模を縮小する領域,資本規模を変更しない領域を定めた。ただし,6つの閾値については数値計算によって求める必要があり,これについては残された課題である。 次に,吉岡と辻村は,環境管理の最適化に関わる諸問題に対して,離散的な観測と制御に着目して,アーラン化に基づく環境管理の理論構築を行った(未公刊)。アーラン化(Erlangization)とは,待ち時間の確率分布がアーラン分布に従う場合の数理モデリング手法を指す。吉岡・辻村(2021)は,アーラン化のアイデアを簡潔に説明した。, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, 2021/04 -2025/03, Principal investigator, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), Doshisha University

    Toshikazu Kimura
    The basic concept of this research is called “OR-oriented finance,” which reconstructs financial modeling from the view point of decision making in Operations Research. Under this concept, we have developed various mathematical models on (1) valuing options; (2) valuing structured bonds; (3) pure mathematical finance; (4) valuation in corporate finance; and (5) real options., Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, 2008/04 -2013/03, Competitive research funding, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (A)

    Reducing the habitant’s concern about building wind turbine, we must pay additional cost. We estimated the amount of willingness to pay to cover this additional cost. We also estimate the willingness to pay for the CO2 reducing investment, and find that there are differences between regions and income classes. For the pollution reducing investment, we develop firm’s strategic optimal investment modelunder uncertainty by using real option approach., Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, 2010 -2012, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), Ryukoku University
  • System Analytic Approach to Financial Technology, Management and Governance
    Hiroshi Takamori
    This research project aimed at identifying relevant models and management principles for revitalizing Japanese industries that have been experiencing severe stagnation recently. The study began by examining those unique paradigms that drove the phenomenal development of Japanese economy after the devastation of the Second World War. We also examined how those paradigms lost their validity and vigor with the turn of 1990s. Major findings include recommendations for invigorating entrepreneurship via new types of incentive contract and renewing organizational governance in accordance with recent trends of social changes. Some focus was placed on the challenge and vigor that are driven by the incentives of equity capital. In particular, the framework of Real Option was identified as a most promising basis for driving innovation with the challenge to future risk in proper perspectives. Under the auspices of the Grant-in-Aid, a series of "Study Meeting Opened for Public : Financial Engineering and Management" was held monthly. The active participants in the study meetings came alive with the significance of Real Option and founded the Japan Association for Real Options and Strategy at the west Waseda campus of Waseda University on July 28, 2006. Research results are organized and published in two separate books, as follows. 1. Takamori, H., and M.

    上記研究目的を達成するため,本年度に取り組んだ研究は,取引費用を考慮した投資プロジェクトの評価や,自己株式取得政策の評価である. 投資プロジェクトの評価に関しては,企業の設備規模の拡張と縮小の両方向の変更問題を考察した.設備の規模を変更する際には,変更規模とは独立に定まる調整費用と,規模に依存して定まる2種類の調整費用を考慮した.規模に依存して決まる調整費用は,非線形の調整費用を考えるため,先ず,2次形式で定まる場合を考察した.また,企業が設備を用いて生産する財は,コブダグラス型生産関数により生産され,生産物の価格が確率微分方程式に従うとした.このような設定の下,企業の問題を考察するために,企業の期待総利潤最大化問題を確率インパルス制御問題として定式化した.分析の結果,準変分不等式から導き出される政策が,最適な政策であることを示した. 一方,自己株式取得政策の分析においては,インパルス制御理論を応用し,自己株式取得の実施時刻と取得額を求めた.分析においては,自己株式取得額の期待総割引現在価値を最大とする企業の問題を考えた.また,デフォルト現象などを考慮し,自己株式取得の原資となるキャッシュリザーブの水準が,離散的に変動する場合を分析した.これを表すために,キャッシュリザーブがジャンプ拡散過程に従うとした.以上の自己株式取得政策の分析と平行し,非線形の制御費用の分析の第一歩として,インパルス制御理論において,主体の毎時発生する費用と制御費用がともに2次形式で表される費用最小化問題を考察した.考察の結果,準変分不等式から導き出される政策が最適な政策であることを示した.この成果を,先に説明した投資プロジェクトの評価に応用している., 日本学術振興会, 科学研究費助成事業 若手研究(B), 2003/04 -2006/03, Principal investigator, Competitive research funding, 若手研究(B)
