三、主要内容:
In this paper, we develop a stochastic impulse control model with intermittent and lumpy adjustments when the decision maker (DM) faces Knightian uncertainty due to ambiguity aversion (or model uncertainty due to a preference for robustness). We show the optimality and uniqueness of the solutions to the robust impulse control problems for three stochas tic processes: (i) the geometric Brownian motion (GBM), (ii) the Ornstein—Uhlenbeck (OU)Process, and (iii) the arithmetic Brownian motion (ABM). We then quantitatively examine the implications of Knightian uncertainty on the optimal barries under the three driving processes in the target zone model and the cash management/inventory model, and find that the width of the inaction region is decreasing with the degree of ambiguity in the GBM case, while it is increasing with the degree ambiguity aversion in the OU and ABM cases. Finally, we briefly compare the implications of model uncertainty with that of state uncertainty (SU) and parameter uncertainty (PU)
