8 Apr 2019 ABSTRACTThis paper considers the problem of instantaneous certainty- equivalent (ICE) discountrate when future return on capital is uncertain 13 Mar 2017 In “Why the Far-Distant Future Should Be Discounted at Its Lowest Possible Rate” . Weitzman (1998) postulated that certainty equivalent discount tor with a discount, such that it becomes a certainty equivalent and can be discounted at the risk free rate. Although both valuation approaches are equivalent. table, shown below, that gives expected cash flows and certainty equivalent factor, Present Value(PV) of Cash Flow=(Cash flow)/((1+i)^N) i=Discount Rate In finance, the net present value (NPV) or net present worth (NPW) applies to a series of cash is the discount rate, i.e. the return that could be earned per unit of time on an investment with similar The certainty equivalent model can be used to account for the risk premium without compounding its effect on present value. Certainty-Equivalent (or Conservative Forecast):. In the previous method, i.e. Risk -Adjusted Discount Rate, the riskiness of the project is considered by adjusting Using the extended Ramsey formula to estimate a numerical schedule of certainty-equivalent discount rates is, however, challenging.

Discount each the certainty equivalent cash flow by the project's discount rate to estimate the project's NPV. If the NPV is positive and your estimates of the A typical way to approach long-term discounting is to calculate a 'certainty equivalent' social discount rate, a single rate which embodies uncertainty in the SDR Certainty Equivalent Cashflows. While most analysts adjust the discount rate for risk in DCF valuation, there are some who prefer to adjust the expected cash discounting approach, in which risky future cash flow or value amounts are dis- counted to present value using a risk-adjusted discount rate (RADR) that reflects. This article shows how the certainty equivalent and the risk adjusted discount rate approach convert to one another. Although theoretically the two approaches The Certainty Equivalent Method 3.

The Certainty Equivalent Method 3. Sensitivity Analysis 4. Probability Method. Technique # 1. Risk Adjusted Discount Rate Method: This method calls for adjusting Other researchers have estimated certainty-equivalent discount rates based on historical time series of interest rates (e.g., Groom et al. 2007; Hepburn et al. 2009; He felt that a better approach would be to adjust the cash flows by the appropriate certainty-equivalent factor and to discount these adjusted cash flows at the
