摘要
In this note, we derive optimal selling rules under a regime switching model. The optimal stopping rule is of a threshold type for each state, derived via the "modified smooth fit." The proof is via the martingale theory. Numerical examples are reported to demonstrate the dependence of threshold levels with various parameters and to compare our result with some suboptimal selling rules.
