I survey some results and open questions regarding the applications of optimal stopping
theory to real option analysis. The main focus is on the issue of obtaining explicit solutions for the
related free-boundary problems. First, some elementary examples are presented which are of
interest for economic applications. Then an explicit expression for the value function in the two-
dimensional (and n-dimensional ) case is obtained. The value function is written in terms of a
modified Bessel function of second kind. Some useful formulas for the one-dimensional case are
presented as well.
