Optimal Multiple Stopping with Negative Discount Rate and Random Refraction Times under Levy Models
This paper studies a class of optimal multiple stopping problems driven by L\'evy processes. Our model allows for a negative effective discount rate, which arises in a number of financial applications, including stock loans and real options, where the strike price can potentially grow at a higher rate than the original discount factor. Moreover, successive exercise opportunities are separated by i.i.d. random refraction times. Under a wide class of two-sided L\'evy models with a general random refraction time, we rigorously show that the optimal strategy to exercise successive call options is uniquely characterized by a sequence of up-crossing times. The corresponding optimal thresholds are determined explicitly in the single stopping case and recursively in the multiple stopping case.

An analytic recursive method for optimal multiple stopping: Canadization and phase-type fitting
We study an optimal multiple stopping problem for call-type payoff driven by a spectrally negative Levy process. The stopping times are separated by constant refraction times, and the discount rate can be positive or neg…
Optimal Equilibria for Multi-dimensional Time-inconsistent Stopping Problems
We study an optimal stopping problem under non-exponential discounting, where the state process is a multi-dimensional continuous strong Markov process. The discount function is taken to be log sub-additive, capturing de…
The Value of Information in Stopping Problems
We consider stopping problems in which a decision maker (DM) faces an unknown state of nature and decides sequentially whether to stop and take an irreversible action; pay a fee and obtain additional information; or wait…
Discounted optimal stopping of a Brownian bridge, with application to American options under pinning
Mathematically, the execution of an American-style financial derivative is commonly reduced to solving an optimal stopping problem. Breaking the general assumption that the knowledge of the holder is restricted to the pr…
