摘要
This paper considers the optimal technology investment-dividend strategy for a R&D firm in the presence of new technology investment. Supposing that the firm's capital reserve follows a dual risk model and that the firm has a liquidation value when it declares bankruptcy, our objective is to maximize the expected present value of cumulate dividend payments plus liquidation value. Using the theories of mixed singular control and optimal stopping, we explicitly obtain the firm's optimal technology investment-dividend strategy and the optimal value function when its profits are exponentially distributed. Finally, we analyze the effect of model parameters on the firm's optimal strategy and provide some economic insights. © 2019, Editorial Board of Journal of Systems Engineering Society of China.
