Payback Period and Internal Rate of Return in Real Options Analysis
The Engineering Economist, 2006We propose a new method to compute payback period (PBP) and internal rate of return (IRR) in the presence of real options. We extend the Kulatilaka–Trigeorgis general model of real options to derive the expected value of these two decision rules in the presence of the options to wait, to mothball, and to abandon.

THE EVALUATION OF THE PAYBACK PERIOD FOR STORAGE HEATERS
2017Стаття присвячена впровадженню електротеплоакумулюючих обігрівачів, а саме визначенню термінів їх окупності в порівнянні з альтернативними варіантами систем опалення. В результаті проведеного в роботі аналізу показано, що за впровадження цих приладів найбільш вигідною для непобутових споживачів стане відмова від систем прямого електричного опалення, а
