Abstract:

So far, the estimation of discount rates for seed capital projects and firms has remained a mystery. In this research one extends the previous work by deriving expressions of discount rates using a Hyperbolic Absolute Risk Aversion (HARA) utility function that includes the quadratic and the logarithmic forms as special cases. In order to accomplish this task, one assumes the less risk-averse entrepreneur that invests almost all his capital in his project or firm and whose level of wealth approaches to zero. One finds that both expressions depend upon de entrepreneur’s risk aversion and a measure of the project total risk.
