Abstract
In this paper we present sufficient conditions for the existence of an optimal frequency for sampling an economic system. We assume that the underlying economy is described by a linear continuous-time system containing an exogenous component, and that the policymakers want to minimize a social welfare function. This welfare function is a continuous-time quadratic tracking equation over an infinite planning horizon with positive semi-definite weighting matrices.
