Key research themes

1. How can risk be systematically integrated and measured in simulation-based company valuation methods?

This research area focuses on incorporating risk analysis directly into company valuation by employing simulation techniques that account for firm-specific uncertainties beyond traditional market-based models. It matters because it offers a refined approach to evaluating medium-sized, start-up, crisis, and private firms where capital market data may be insufficient or imperfect, enabling more realistic valuation outputs that reflect actual risk exposures.

Key finding: The study establishes that only position-invariant risk measures align methodologically with simulation-based business valuation frameworks. It provides a classification of risk measures under Artzner et al.’s risk axiom... Read more
Key finding: This paper underscores the advantages of simulation-based valuation for capturing firm-specific risks including insolvency and country-specific factors, advocating it as superior for non-listed or medium-sized firms compared... Read more
Key finding: The authors propose an unbiased and systematic DCF method enhanced by stock market evidence, including inverse WACC estimation and benchmarking multiple free cash flow forecasting models against actual valuations. Using data... Read more

2. What are the best approaches to identifying, classifying, and integrating risk factors to improve business valuation accuracy?

This theme examines how risk factors inherent in companies and external environments can be systematically identified, classified, and incorporated into valuation models to better capture uncertainty impacts on business worth. It addresses the methodological challenges and practical needs for explicating risk in valuations beyond theoretical constructs, essential for improving decision-making and valuation reliability.

Key finding: Utilizing the Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP), this research establishes a structured classification of business value drivers and risks, distinguishing systematic (external) and unsystematic (internal) factors... Read more

3. How are intangible assets like brands and earnings quality valued and integrated into company valuation models, and what impact do they have on firm valuation?

This theme investigates the methodologies and motivations behind financial valuation of intangible assets such as intellectual property, brand equity, and earnings quality, as well as the effect these elements have on firm valuation and investor perceptions. The valuation of intangibles is critical due to their growing contribution to firm value and the challenges they pose for traditional financial statement-based valuation models.

Key finding: The study finds that while large multinational companies recognize substantial intangible assets in financial statements, formal recognition and transparent disclosure of brand valuations, especially following IFRS/FASB... Read more
Key finding: The paper systematically reviews earnings quality (EQ) literature and proposes an empirical model integrating persistence, predictability, and informativeness dimensions to better link EQ with firm valuation. It emphasizes... Read more
