Abstract
⺠We analytically show the bias in common project value volatility estimation methods. ⺠We develop a general method for correctly estimating the volatility of project value. ⺠Project value volatility depends on cash flow leverage and may vary by time period. ⺠Cash flows from binomial trees with our volatilities match those from simulation. ⺠Conditional expectations required in the general method can be derived numerically.
