Jose Pasos
Research group: Financial Mathematics
Research topic: Linear diffusions and optimal capacity expansion models.
Brief summary: We model an investor’s capacity expansion decisions as solutions to singular stochastics control problems where the market uncertainty is modelled by a linear diffusion. The optimal strategies are described in terms of a free boundary dividing investing and waiting regions.
