Resumo: | |||||||||||||
In 2003, the flex-fuel car, which can be fueled with either gas or hydrated
alcohol, was introduced in the Brazilian market. So, the vehicle owner has to
choose at the gas station which fuel he prefers in order to have a lower cost. This
thesis applies the Real Options Theory to analyze the flexibility value that choice
of fuel generates for the owner. Such flexibility can be seen as a real option of
input switch when the inputs are the two fuels mentioned above. Furthermore, this
study will take into account the diversity of each region of Brazil, or seek will
value the option to each of the five regions: South, Southeast, Central-West, North
and Northeast. The choice of the stochastic model can have greater influence on
the value of the real option. Therefore, in this study, the conversion option will be
modeled following the Mean Reversion process with Poisson jumps. The Mean
Reversion process with Poisson jumps was chosen because although commodity
prices are relatively well modeled by Mean Reversion process, the price of
gasoline and ethanol suffer abrupt changes (jumps) in short intervals of time.
Thus, the purpose of this study is to verify that the sophistication of the model has
a significant impact on the value of the option by comparing the present study
with the work of Nascimento (2012). The forecast prices and the option value will
be provide applying the Monte Carlo simulation.
