The perturbed Sparre Andersen model with a threshold dividend strategy

In this paper, we consider a Sparre Andersen model perturbed by diffusion with generalized Erlang(n)-distributed inter-claim times and a threshold dividend strategy. Integro-differential equations with certain boundary conditions for the moment-generation function and the mth moment of the present value of all dividends until ruin are derived. We also derive integro-differential equations with boundary conditions for the Gerber–Shiu functions. The special case where the inter-claim times are Erlang(2) distributed and the claim size distribution is exponential is considered in some details.

Dividend payments with a threshold strategy in the compound Poisson risk model perturbed by diffusion

In the absence of dividends, the surplus of an insurance company is modelled by a compound Poisson process perturbed by diffusion. Dividends are paid at a constant rate whenever the modified surplus is above the threshold, otherwise no dividends are paid. Two integro-differential equations for the expected discounted dividend payments prior to ruin are derived and closed-form solutions are given. Accordingly, the Gerber–Shiu expected discounted penalty function and some ruin related functionals, the probability of ultimate ruin, the time of ruin and the surplus before ruin and the deficit at ruin, are considered and their analytic expressions are given by general solution formulas. Finally the moment-generating function of the total discounted dividends until ruin is discussed.

The compound Poisson process perturbed by a diffusion with a threshold dividend strategy

In this paper, we consider the compound Poisson process perturbed by a diffusion in the presence of the so‐called threshold dividend strategy. Within this framework, we prove the twice continuous differentiability of the expected discounted value of all dividends until ruin. We also derive integro‐differential equations for the expected discounted value of all dividends until ruin and obtain explicit expressions for the solution to the equations. Along the same line, we establish explicit expressions for the Laplace transform of the time of ruin and the Laplace transform of the aggregate dividends until ruin. In the case of exponential claims, some examples are provided. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

The perturbed compound Poisson risk model with constant interest and a threshold dividend strategy

In this paper, we consider the compound Poisson risk model perturbed by diffusion with constant interest and a threshold dividend strategy. Integro-differential equations with certain boundary conditions for the moment-generation function and the nth moment of the present value of all dividends until ruin are derived. We also derive integro-differential equations with boundary conditions for the Gerber-Shiu functions. The special case that the claim size distribution is exponential is considered in some detail.     

Dividend problems in the dual model with diffusion and exponentially distributed observation time

Consider dividend problems in the dual model with diffusion and exponentially distributed observation time where dividends are paid according to a barrier strategy. Assume that dividends can only be paid with a certain probability at each point of time, that is, on each observation, if the surplus exceeds the barrier, the excess is paid as dividend. In this paper, integro-differential equations for the expected discounted sum of dividends paid until ruin and the Laplace transform of ruin time are derived. When the gains are exponentially distributed, explicit expressions for the ruin probability, the expected discounted sum of dividends paid until ruin, the Laplace transform of ruin time and the expectation of ruin time are also obtained.     

The phase-type risk model perturbed by diffusion under a threshold dividend strategy

This paper considers a perturbed renewal risk process in which the inter-claim times have a phase-type distribution under a threshold dividend strategy. Integro-differential equations with certain boundary conditions for the moment-generating function and the mth moment of the present value of all dividends until ruin are derived. Explicit expressions for the expectation of the present value of all dividends until ruin are obtained when the claim amount distribution is from the rational family. Finally, we present an example.     

The Maximum Surplus Distribution before Ruin in an Erlang（n） Risk Process Perturbed by Diffusion

In this paper, we consider the distribution of the maximum surplus before ruin in a generalized Erlang(n) risk process (i.e., convolution of n exponential distributions with possibly different parameters) perturbed by diffusion. It is shown that the maximum surplus distribution before ruin satisfies the integro-differential equation with certain boundary conditions. Explicit expressions are obtained when claims amounts are rationally distributed. Finally, the surplus distribution at the time of ruin and the surplus distribution immediately before ruin are presented.     

Moments of discounted dividend payments in a risk model with randomized dividend-decision times

We consider a perturbed compound Poisson risk model with randomized dividend-decision times. Different from the classical barrier dividend strategy, the insurance company makes decision on whether or not paying off dividends at some discrete time points (called dividend-decision times). Assume that at each dividend-decision time, if the surplus is larger than a barrier b > 0; the excess value will be paid off as dividends. Under such a dividend strategy, we study how to compute the moments of the total discounted dividend payments paid off before ruin.

On the expected discounted penalty functions for two classes of risk processes under a threshold dividend strategy

In this paper, the discounted penalty (Gerber-Shiu) functions for a risk model involving two independent classes of insurance risks under a threshold dividend strategy are developed. We also assume that the two claim number processes are independent Poisson and generalized Erlang (2) processes, respectively. When the surplus is above this threshold level, dividends are paid at a constant rate that does not exceed the premium rate. Two systems of integro-differential equations for discounted penalty functions are derived, based on whether the surplus is above this threshold level. Laplace transformations of the discounted penalty functions when the surplus is below the threshold level are obtained. And we also derive a system of renewal equations satisfied by the discounted penalty function with initial surplus above the threshold strategy via the Dickson-Hipp operator. Finally, analytical solutions of the two systems of integro-differential equations are presented.     

Dividends in finite time horizon

In this paper, we consider the classical risk model modified in two different ways by the inclusion of a dividend barrier. For Model I, we present numerical algorithms, which can be used to approximate or bound the expected discounted value of dividends up to a finite time horizon, t, or ruin if this occurs earlier. We extend this by requiring the shareholders to provide the initial capital and to pay the deficit at ruin each time it occurs so that the process then continues after ruin up to time t. For Model I, we assume the full premium income is paid as dividends whenever the surplus exceeds a set level. In our Model II, we assume dividends are paid at a rate less than the rate of premium income. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

On a perturbed Sparre Andersen risk model with multi-layer dividend strategy

In this paper, we consider a perturbed Sparre Andersen risk model, in which the inter-claim times are generalized Erlang(n) distributed. Under the multi-layer dividend strategy, piece-wise integro-differential equations for the discounted penalty functions are derived, and a recursive approach is applied to express the solutions. A numerical example to calculate the ruin probabilities is given to illustrate the solution procedure.

Optimality of the threshold dividend strategy for the compound Poisson model

In this paper, we consider the optimal dividend problem for the compound Poisson risk model. We assume that dividends are paid to the shareholders according to an admissible strategy with dividend rate bounded by a constant. Our objective is to find a dividend policy so as to maximize the expected discounted value of dividends until ruin. We give sufficient conditions under which the optimal strategy is of threshold type.

Ruin theory for a Markov regime-switching model under a threshold dividend strategy

In this paper, we study a Markov regime-switching risk model where dividends are paid out according to a certain threshold strategy depending on the underlying Markovian environment process. We are interested in these quantities: ruin probabilities, deficit at ruin and expected ruin time. To study them, we introduce functions involving the deficit at ruin and the indicator of the event that ruin occurs. We show that the above functions and the expectations of the time to ruin as functions of the initial capital satisfy systems of integro-differential equations. Closed form solutions are derived when the underlying Markovian environment process has only two states and the claim size distributions are exponential.     

The Markov Additive Risk Process Under an Erlangized Dividend Barrier Strategy

In this paper, we consider a Markov additive insurance risk process under a randomized dividend strategy in the spirit of Albrecher et al. (2011). Decisions on whether to pay dividends are only made at a sequence of dividend decision time points whose intervals are Erlang(n) distributed. At a dividend decision time, if the surplus level is larger than a predetermined dividend barrier, then the excess is paid as a dividend as long as ruin has not occurred. In contrast to Albrecher et al. (2011), it is assumed that the event of ruin is monitored continuously (Avanzi et al. (2013) and Zhang (2014)), i.e. the surplus process is stopped immediately once it drops below zero. The quantities of our interest include the Gerber-Shiu expected discounted penalty function and the expected present value of dividends paid until ruin. Solutions are derived with the use of Markov renewal equations. Numerical examples are given, and the optimal dividend barrier is identified in some cases.
