Reservation Prices in Optimal Stopping

In an optimal stopping problem where bids on an asset are received, conditions are given that ensure the so-called reservation price property, namely, if a certain price is accepted, then any higher price would also have been accepted at that point in time. The approach followed in this paper is similar to that pursued by D. B. Rosenfield and R. D. Shapiro in 1981.
