Abstract
Our research expands on the private equity (PE) valuation theory by incorporating the limited partner’s (LP) time-inconsistent preferences. Our findings show that time inconsistency has a detrimental impact on the LP’s certainty-equivalent valuation, which is dependent on the duration of investment and the value of PE asset. Through a comparative static analysis of the risk-attitude parameter and the future self arrival intensity, we have determined that the negative effects of time inconsistency can be mitigated by a more conservative attitude on the part of LP, while a higher future self arrival intensity exacerbates the impact of LP’s time inconsistency on their certainty-equivalent valuation.
