| Abstract: | Hurde rates for investments in two types of energy-saving technology are estimated using simulated future revenue streams, given uncertainty regarding energy prices and energy tax policies. Hurde rates found in this way are on average about 1.76 times the hurde rates that result from net present value calculations. Furthermore, this paper tests the predictive value of the theory by estimating a logit model. This model relates the incidence of having invested in an energy-saving technology to the difference between the return on investment and the hurde rate. |
