We study a two‐sided singular control problem in a general linear diffusion setting and provide a set of conditions under which an optimal control exists uniquely and is of singular control type. Moreover, under these conditions the associated value function can be written in a quasi‐explicit form. Furthermore, we investigate comparative static properties of the solution with respect to the volatility and control parameters. Lastly we illustrate the results with two explicit examples.
