In a one-state one-control variable Quadratic Linear Problem, I examine the effect of an increase in the multiplicative uncertainty on the use of the control variable. In contrast with previous studies, this model considers a stochastic constant term in the transition equation. I found that the...

Since 1973 currency market has been dominated by US-Dollar cycles, the so called long swings. The long swinging behaviour of the dollar has been confirmed also by its strong depreciation against the Euro, registered in the last three years. Periods of steady appreciation followed by period of...

In this essay, it is shown that in the Hoel and Karp (2001) model of global warming, the optimal response of taxes for a stock pollutant with mutiplicative uncertainty is opposite when the control variable is pollution taxes instead of emissions. In this case, the election of control variable...

This article analyzes the trade-off between ÏcautionÓ and ÏintensityÓ in the use of the control variable in a one-state one-control dynamic stochastic quadratic linear optimization problem with discount factor. It studies the effects that changes in uncertainty of the control parameter have...
