Abstract

This paper extends net present value analysis to incorporate state intervention and intergenerational liabilities. Using NPV profiles rather than point estimates, it shows how public ownership and policy shifts reshape risk over time. The framework is applied to capital-intensive resource projects with long life cycles.
