The discount essay in real estate and project valuations based on the ability to generate financial/economic flows in both private and public spheres is the parameter, simultaneously, most important and most problematic to define. In the private sphere, time, inflation, financial markets, monetary policy, and alternative investment returns are essential variables to consider in choosing the sage. In the public sphere, the choice of the discount essay in the evaluation of investment projects-especially if they are long-term and have significant social and environmental implications-suffers from additional problems, confronting political and ethical issues, such as intra- and intergenerational distributional equity, the accuracy of estimating extra-mercantile effects, forecasts in the rates of development and technological innovation and digitization, and many others. The conference aims to explore the relationship between risk and uncertainty, time and value in private and public valuations in different methodological approaches.
The conference is divided into two sessions.
The first session is devoted to theoretical and operational aspects related to the choice of essay in the valuation of real estate by income capitalization and in the valuation of investment properties by discounting to the actuality of cash flows.
The second session focuses on the valuation of investments with relevant social and environmental implications and hosts insights and reflections on methodological approaches related to the choice of the social discount rate in Benefit-Cost Analysis and Cost-Effectiveness Analysis, and how time and uncertainty factors can be included in Multicriteria analysis procedures.
