An ambiguity averse decision-maker contemplates investment of a fixed size capital into a project with a stochastic profit stream under the Knightian uncertainty. Multiple priors are modeled as a ``cloud" of diffusion processes with embedded compound Poisson jumps. The ``cloud" contains the...

We study a stochastic version of Fudenberg--Tirole's preemption game. Two firms contemplate entering a new market with stochastic demand. Firms differ in sunk costs of entry. If the demand process has no upward jumps, the low cost firm enters first, and the high cost firm follows. If leader's...

This paper provides a general framework for pricing of real options in continuous time for wide classes of payoff streams that are functions of Levy processes. As applications, we calculate the option values of multi-stage investment/disinvestment problems (sequences of embedded options, which...

We solve the pricing problem for perpetual American puts and calls on dividend-paying assets. The dependence of a dividend process on the underlying stochastic factor is fairly general: any non-decreasing function is admissible. The stochastic factor follows a Levy process. This specification...

We derive explicit formulas for time decay, for the European call and put options at expiry, and use them to calculate analytical approximations to the price of the American put and early exercise boundary near expiry. We show that for many families of non-Gaussian processes used in empirical...
