In this paper we are concerned with optimal investment decisions when dealing with land allocation problems. We aim to emphasise the importance of flexible modelling in order to capture irreversibility. In particular, we stretch a discrete model, firstly developed in Coggins and Ramezani...

This draft PhD thesis analyzes four issues in the research field that consists of the intersection of environmental economics, uncertainty, and decision-making. 1. Economic investments that lead to environmental damages beyond repair - like cutting rainforests or emitting pollutants with long...

We derive a new equation for the optimal investment boundary of a general irreversible investment problem under exponential Lévy uncertainty. The problem is set as an infinite time-horizon, two-dimensional degenerate singular stochastic control problem. In line with the results recently...
