Abstract

Economic evaluation of investment projects of is usually used as a form to search for parameters that are indicative of its viability. However, a condition of uncertainty in relation to the economic environment makes it difficult in order to help the process of decision making. In the case of the forest activities, the complexity is still bigger in function of the long time required for the return of the investment. One of the alternatives that can be used by the investors is the transformation of uncertainty into risk. Thus, the objective of the article is to verify the adequacy of the Monte Carlo Method (MMC) in the risk evaluation of in forest activities with Pinus spp. The procedure  consists of the simulation of the Internal Tax of Return (ITR) and of Net Present Value (NPV) of the project, from the simulation of variables previously selected in the cash flow. The method revealed efficient in the risk analysis of forest activities.
