Notes:

The baseline parameter values are fixed as follows: discount rate δ = 0.06, drift and volatility parameters of project cash flows in regime B are μB = 0.04 and σB = 0.2, drift and volatility parameters in regime b are μb = 0.01 and σb = 0.3, parameters governing the persistence of regime are λB = 0.15 and λb = 0.1, investment cost c = 1
