The discount rate for property and project evaluations, based on the ability to generate financial/economic flows in both private and public spheres is the most important and, at the same time, the most challenging parameter to define. In the private sector time, inflation, financial markets, monetary policy, and alternative investment returns are crucial variables that must be taken into consideration when choosing the sage. In the public sphere, the choice of the discount rate for the evaluation of investment projects – especially if these are long-term and have significant social and environmental implications – is influenced by further difficulties, dealing with political and ethical issues, such as intra- and intergenerational distributive equity, the accuracy of the estimate of extra-market effects, forecasts in the rates of development and technological innovation, and digitalisation, and many others.

The conference aims to explore the relationship between risk and uncertainty, time and value, in private and public valuations through different methodological approaches.

Two sessions are planned.

The first session will be devoted to investigate the theoretical and operational aspects related to the choice of essay in the valuation of real estate by means of income capitalisation and of investment properties by means of discounting to the actuality of cash flows.

The second session will focus on the quotation of investments with relevant social and environmental implications. The discussion will host insights and reflections on methodological approaches related to the choice of social discount rate in Benefit-Cost Analysis and Cost-Effectiveness Analysis, as well as to how time and uncertainty factors can be included in multi-criteria analysis procedures.
