Abstract
We consider a class of stochastic impulse control
problems where the controlled process evolves according to a
linear, regular, and time homogeneous diffusion. We state a set of
easily verifiable sufficient conditions under which the problem is
explicitly solvable. We also state an algebraic equation from
which the optimal impulse boundary can be determined and, given
this threshold, we present the value of the optimal policy in
terms of the minimal increasing r-excessive mapping for the
controlled diffusion. We also consider the comparative static
properties of the optimal policy and state a set of typically
satisfied conditions under which increased volatility
unambiguously increases the value of the optimal policy and
expands the continuation region where exercising the irreversible
policy is suboptimal. We also illustrate our
results explicitly in two models based on geometric Brownian motion.
