In this paper, we have developed a continuous time general equilibrium model in an economy which has two states, a 'good' state and a 'bad' state. There are two types of shocks in the economy: small shocks and large shocks. The small shocks which only affect the individual price movements are...

This paper is intended to elaborate regime switching and optimal investment timing in a real option framework. The paper differs from the existing literature in a significant way. In this paper we first consider an irreversible investment timing decision by adding a hidden Markov process to...

This paper consists of two parts, a theoretical followed by an empirical contribution. We first give a new framework for fractional differencing in discrete time and show how the definition of fractional differencing that is commonly employed in empirical financial applications arises as a...

We investigate the optimal investment timing strategy in a real option framework. Depending on the state of the economy, whose changes are modeled by a Markov chain, the investment cost can take one of two values. The optimal investment timing decision is determined by finding the free boundary...

We use a supply-demand approach to value energy products exposed to emission cost uncertainty. We find closed form solutions for a number of popularly traded energy derivatives such as: forwards, European call options written on spot prices and European Call options written on forward contracts....
