| Abstract: | In this paper, we study an inverse optimal problem in discrete-time stochastic control. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a solution to a system of stochastic difference equations to be the solution of a certain optimal control problem. Our results extend to the stochastic case the work of Dechert. In particular, we present a stochastic version of an important principle in welfare economics. |
