Optimal Pollution Control

We consider the problem of a firm that wants to maximize its earnings. Production generates pollution as a by-product and has a negative impact on the environment. This negative impact causes disutility. The firm determines the optimal production rate and chooses between two types of technologies available. Each tech- nology generates different pollution levels and benefits from production. We model this as a mixed classical-switching stochastic control problem. By analyzing the related differential equation, we are able to obtain an explicit solution that allows us to derive interesting managerial insights.
