Opciones Reales Multinomiales con dos variables de estado y Teoría de juegos en la valoración de estrategias de inversión

Abstract

Analyzing and assessing strategies involves considering emerging uncertainties from the agent's decisions, states of nature, and actions of third parties. The model to be used must be capable of recreating the mentioned contingencies so that its results inform courses of action with the highest present value. This paper proposes a simple analytical model to quantify the multiple sources of risk, combining Game Theory and Real Options. Buying or deferring strategies are assessed using a modified multinomial model with two state variables. The obtained results are applied in a matrix-modeled negotiation in a simple non-recurring game. Applying the methodology of case studies in management, a strategy of horizontal integration and expansion in lithium chloride production in the Argentine Republic is analyzed. In this regard, the work provides a numerical analytical model applicable to the assessment of strategies, economic incentives, and penalties. The model serves as a tool for strategic analysis and the design of collaboration agreements.
