Optimal Stopping under Drift Uncertainty
We study a classical Bayesian statistics problem of sequentially testing the sign of the drift of an arithmetic Brownian motion with the ‘0 − 1’ loss function and a constant cost of observation per unit of time for general prior distributions. The statistical problem is reformulated as an optimal stopping problem with the current conditional probability that the drift is non-negative as the und...
متن کاملAsset pricing under optimal contracts
We consider the problem of finding equilibrium asset prices in a financial market in which a portfolio manager (Agent) invests on behalf of an investor (Principal), who compensates the manager with an optimal contract. We extend a model from Buffa, Vayanos and Woolley (2014), BVW (2014), by allowing general contracts. We find that the optimal contract rewards Agent for taking specific risk of i...
متن کاملStrategic Capital Budgeting : Asset Replacement under Uncertainty
We consider a ...rm’s decision to replace an existing production technology with a new, more cost-e¢cient one. Kulatilaka and Perotti [1998, Management Science ] ...nd that, in a two-period model, increased product market uncertainty could encourage the ...rm to invest strategically in the new technology. This paper extends their framework to a continuous-time model which adds ‡exibility in tim...
متن کاملOptimal Selling of an Asset under Incomplete Information
We consider an agent who wants to liquidate an asset with unknown drift. The agent believes that the drift takes one of two given values and has initially an estimate for the probability of either of them. As time goes by, the agent observes the asset price and can therefore update his beliefs about the probabilities for the drift distribution. We formulate an optimal stopping problem that desc...
متن کاملPrices in Experimental Asset Markets under Uncertainty
This paper presents an experiment which investigates whether asset prices are affected in markets where state probabilities are not exactly known and traders have to form subjective probabilities of payoffs. Results show that the presence of vague probabilities leads to higher average prices with respect to assets characterised by known probabilities. However, prices under known and vague proba...
