Abstract

The paper considers an investment timing problem appearing in real options theory. Present values from an investment project are modeled by general diffusion process. We prove necessary and sufficient conditions under which an optimal investment time is induced by threshold strategy. We study also the conditions of optimality of threshold strategy (over all threshold strategies) and discuss the connection between solutions to investment timing problem and to free-boundary problem.
