The objective of this study is to provide an alternative characterization of the optimal value function of a certain Black- Scholes-type optimal stopping problem where the underlying stochastic process is a general random walk, i.e. the process constituted by partial sums of an IID sequence of...

In this paper, we study the optimal stopping problem of Dupuis and Wang analyzed in [7]. In this problem, the underlying follows a linear diffusion but the decision maker is not allowed to stop at any time she desires but rather on the jump times of an independent Poisson process. In [7], the...

We consider how the inter-temporal discreteness of the revenue and cost processes affect the optimal timing of a real estate investment opportunity in comparison with the investment timing strategy obtained by relying on the traditional continuous real option model. We characterize both optimal...

We study optimal stopping with exponentially distributed exercise lag. We formalize the problem first in a general Markovian setting and derive a set of conditions under which the solution exists. In particular, no semicontinuity assumptions of the payoff function are needed. We analyze also...
