Abstract

This paper proposes a construction project net cash flow model based upon the logit transformation. The model was found to have an excellent fit to the data for 75 % of the projects analysed. The proposed model is a useful tool for the post hoc examination of construction project net cash flows. The model is very flexible and is capable of adapting to the wide degree of inter-project variability.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
