TAMARA AYUS, Armando Lenin    ARISTIZABAL VELASQUEZ, Raúl Enrique. Real options as an alternative methodology to assess investment projects. []. , 16, 35, pp.29-44. ISSN 1657-4206.

This paper aims to broaden the applicability of the assessment methodology of investment projects through real options as a key element for investment decision making. Traditional project valuation methodologies are described and their gaps, which special characteristic is uncertainty, are presented. A parallel between financial and real options that could be used for valuation is made, using the binomial tree method. Finally, a case study in the construction sector shows a project valuation using expand and waiting options.
