We consider a real options model for the optimal irreversible investment problem of a profit-maximizing company. The company has the opportunity to invest in a production plant capable of producing two products, of which the prices follow two independent geometric Brownian motions. After paying a constant sunk investment cost, the company sells the products on the market and thus receives a continuous stochastic revenue flow. This investment problem is set as a two-dimensional optimal stopping…

Optimal Execution with Multiplicative Price Impact and Incomplete Information on the Return

. We study an optimal liquidation problem with multiplicative price impact in which the trend of the asset’s price is an unobservable Bernoulli random variable. The investor aims at selling over an…

Investment Decisions with Two-Factor Uncertainty

This paper considers investment problems in real options with non-homogeneous two-factor uncertainty. We derive some analytical properties of the resulting optimal stopping problem and present a…

Renewing Assets with Uncertain Revenues and Operating Costs

We study optimal replacement and abandonment decisions for real assets, when both revenues and costs are uncertain and deteriorate with age. We develop an implicit representation of the renewal…

The Value of Green Energy under Regulation Uncertainty

We examine investments in power generation projects under policy uncertainty, when the investor has the choice between two alternative technologies, a gas-fired plant and a wind plant. Increased…

The Value of Waiting to Invest

This paper studies the optimal timing of investment in an irreversible project where the benefits from the project and the investment cost follow continuous-time stochastic processes. The optimal…

Global $C^{1}$ regularity of the value function in optimal stopping problems

We show that if either the process is strong Feller and the boundary point is probabilistically regular for the stopping set, or the process is strong Markov and the boundary point is…

We first show that a smooth fit between the value function and the gain function at the optimal stopping boundary for a two-dimensional diffusion process implies the absence of boundary’s…

Reward functionals, salvage values, and optimal stopping

An explicit representation of the value function in terms of the minimal r-excessive mappings for the considered diffusion is derived and it is proved that the smooth pasting principle follows directly from the approach, while the contrary is not necessarily true.
