A Knightian irreversible investment problem
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we study an irreversible investment problem under Knightian uncertainty. a general framework, in which uncertainty is modeled through set of multiple priors, prove existence and uniqueness the optimal plan, derive necessary sufficient conditions for optimality. This allows us to construct policy terms solution stochastic backward equation worst-case scenario. time-homogeneous setting – where risk driven by geometric Brownian motion realized so-called “κ-ignorance” are able provide explicit form plan.

Irreversible investment and Knightian uncertainty
When firms make a decision about irreversible investment, they may not have complete confidence about their perceived probabilitymeasure describing future uncertainty. Theymay think other probabilitymeasures perturbed from the original one are also possible. Such uncertainty, characterized by not a single probability measure but a set of probability measures, is called “Knightian uncertainty.” ...
متن کاملOn a Stochastic, Irreversible Investment Problem
The productive sector of the economy, represented by a single firm employing labour to produce the consumption good, is studied in a stochastic continuous time model on a finite time interval. The firm must choose the optimal level of employment and capital investment in order to maximize its expected total profits. In this stochastic control problem the firm’s capacity is modelled as an Itô pr...
متن کاملIrreversible investment
Investment is often irreversible: once installed, capital has little or no value unless used in production. This paper proposes, solves and characterizes a model of sequential irreversible investment by a firm facing uncertainty in technology, demand and price of capital. The solution can be found in closed form if simple (but not totally unrealistic) functional forms are assumed, and can be gi...
متن کاملOn irreversible investment
This paper develops a general theory of sequential irreversible investments in capital where a firm has the option to expand its current capacity or just wait for better time. Facing economic uncertainty, the firm has an operating function of the current capacity and an exogenous stochastic factor modelled by semimartingale. This general model encompasses all previously studied models, includin...
متن کاملIrreversible investment in oligopoly
We offer a new perspective on games of irreversible investment under uncertainty in continuous time. The basis is a particular approach to solve the involved stochastic optimal control problems which allows to establish existence and uniqueness of an oligopolistic open loop equilibrium in a very general framework without reliance on any Markovian property. It simultaneously induces quite natura...
