| Sumario: | Public-private agreements for the development of infrastructure projects constitute a strategic alliance between the public sector, developers, and private financiers. Contracts contain clauses for early termination, deadline extensions, and revenue guarantees, granting strategic flexibility. This makes traditional valuation methods ineffective for estimating resources committed by governments and the value of the concession for the private sector. Numerical alternatives based on real options theory are needed to incorporate the value of flexibility and its economic and financial impact. This paper proposes a binomial numerical model to quantify the contingent value of minimum revenue guarantees, impact on future budgets, economic value of the investment, and break-even rates. To this end, a case study in administration is applied to a road infrastructure development and toll concession. The anatomy of project risk is analyzed through simulation of the stochastic revenue process and VAR estimation. The binomial model is then applied to estimate: contingent value of the minimum revenue guarantee, present value of the government's contingent liabilities, value of the project with strategic flexibility from the private sector's perspective, and equilibrium rates for zero strategic present value. |
