The biotechnology and life sciences sectors are a source of major source of growth in the economy. However the valuation of companies in the sector is problematic owing to the long lead times and uncertainty associated with product development. This paper explores the use of the price earnings ratio as a tool for portfolio construction and valuation. Our results suggest this is a poor tool, although this may be due to being constructed over a time horizon that is too short.

Abstract. We investigated the effects of time horizon and age on the socioemotional motives underlying individual’s bucket-list goals. Participants were randomly assigned to one of three time-horizon conditions to make a bucket list: (1) an open-ended time horizon (Study 1 & 2), (2) a 6-month horizon (i.e., “Imagine you have 6 months to live”; Study 1 & 2), and (3) a 1-week horizon (Study 2). Goal motives were coded based on socioemotional selectivity theory and psychosocial development theory. Results indicated that time horizon and age produced unique effects on bucket-list goal motives. Extending past findings on people’s motives considering the end of life, the findings suggest that different time horizons and life stages trigger different motives.
