ABSTRACT

Many countries in the world have attracted private participation, in providing infrastructures, to overcome limited funds and reduce risks involved in those projects. And, project finance is considered effective to accomplish this public-private partnerships. In general, there exist lots of complicated uncertainties in project finance due to long-term concession and huge project size. Among these uncertainties, the strategic decision-making of investment time delay has been problematic, even if it seems to have an impact on project value, because traditional capital budgeting theory, NPV analysis, fails to assess its contingency. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to provide a theoretical framework in evaluating this strategic decision-making in project finance. To understand the impact of time delay on project value, real option framework based on financial option pricing theory is applied. In turn, the quantitative value of time delay obtained by real option framework is compared and analyzed with that of NPV analysis. At last, because the value of strategic decision-making appears significant against project value, it needs to be taken into account when implementing financial feasibility analysis.
