Abstract
We explore the role of taxes on stimulating investment decisions for levered firms under cashflows and investment costs uncertainty using the adjusted present value-based real options approach developed by Myers and Read (2019). We extend their work to consider combined tax credits and uncertain investment costs. We then run a numerical analysis to quantify the impact of uncertainty, corporate tax and investment tax credit in stimulating investments.
