Abstract

This paper develops a model of valuation of investment projects which includes nano-medical scientific and industrial dynamics, and its regulation. First critically analyzes the literature on valuation of investments, arguing that the methodology of real options is the most appropriate. It is a model that overcomes the major limitations of valuation tools of traditional investment projects and reflects the complexity of the economics involved.
