In [J. Finan. Econ., 34 (1993), pp. 53–76] R. Pindyck introduced a model where uncertainty arises from the unknown amount of investments needed to complete a project. In this paper, we obtain an explicit solution for this problem. To find a solution we use heuristic arguments based on the Bellman equation and the “smooth pasting condition”. To prove optimality of the solution we use verification theorems of stochastic optimal control.
Keywords:
optimal control of investments, smooth pasting conditions, utility function, profit function, Bessel functions, Kummer functions, hypergeometric functions.
