Irreversible capital accumulation under interest rate uncertainty
We consider the optimal sequential irreversible investment policy of a value maximizing firm facing decreasing returns to scale and interest rate uncertainty. We characterize the optimal accumulation policy and its value for a broad class of interest rate models by focusing on the marginal investment decision and deriving the marginal value of capital. We also state a set of conditions under wh...
متن کاملNonconvexities in Optimal Pollution Accumulation
With a few exceptions, the analysis of optimal pollution accumulation or detrimental stock externalities rests on the assumptions that the level of damage is unbounded and that pollution decay increases monotonically with the level of pollution stock. We show that these assumptions are restrictive and that their generalization alters the basic economic properties of optimal pollution control. W...
متن کاملOn Optimality, Endogenous Discounting and Wealth Accumulation
We endogenize the discount rate via a broad measure of wealth and provide empirical evidence that wealth affects the discount rate negatively. We demonstrate that the Pontryagin conditions require positive felicity for intuitive results, whereas the concavity of the Hamiltonian requires negative felicity for optimality. This dilemma also holds for the endogenizations of Obstfeld (1990) and foll...

متن کاملOptimality-preserving Elimination of Linearities in Jacobian Accumulation
Abstract. We consider a mathematical function that is implemented in a high-level programming language such as C or Fortran. This function is assumed to be differentiable in some neighborhood of a set of input arguments. For available local partial derivatives of the arithmetic operators and intrinsic functions provided by the programming language, the Jacobian of the function at the given argu...
