Motivation

How should long-lived infrastructure be adapted to ongoingand uncertain change? ⇒

Problems:

1 High sunk investment costs

2 Current decisions shape effects of changes in uncertainexogenous conditions up to multiple future decades

Examples:

1 Uncertainty of climate change affects negatively infrastructure(airports, bridges, water pipes) due to extreme weather events(cf. IPCC (2014)).

2 Rising uncertain capacity of renewables affects electricity gridcomponents

Motivation

Irreversibility/uncertainty leads to option value ⇒ Abandoninginvestment might be delayed (cf. Dixit, R. K. and R. S. Pindyck (1994))

Shorter life-time might enable more efficient rolling adjustments totransient change (cf. Hallegatte, S. (2009)) ⇒What is optimal infrastructure life-time and technical design?

One central research question:

How reacts optimal life-time, if uncertainty rises? ⇒

1 Expecting rise, if option premium rises

2 Expecting fall, if risk higher than option premium increase

Illustration using grid example

General message: Uncertainty does not necessarily require morerobust investment or longer life-time
