Theory of optimal consumption and portfolio selection under a Capital-at-Risk (CaR) and a Value-at-Risk (VaR) constraint

The solution to the optimal portfolio selection and consumptionrule subject to Capital-at-Risk and Value-at-Risk constraintsis derived via the use of stochastic dynamic programming.     

企业声誉在电子商务消费者信任建立过程的作用机制

声誉是企业的一项重要无形资产,能够增进企业对消费者的吸引力。本文从消费者视野探索企业声誉在电子商务消费者信任建立过程的作用机制。将感知的安全性引入技术接受模型,建立了理论模型及假设,并应用结构方程模型分析软件进行了检验。结果表明,企业声誉通过消费者感知的安全性、有用性和易用性正向影响消费者信任,消费者感知的安全性、易用性也通过感知的有用性影响消费者信任。     

模糊因子下知识产权保护与侵犯的动态博弈分析

针对知识产权屡禁不止的侵权行为现状,运用模糊数学、数理统计方法和博弈论原理,从知识产权保护和侵犯双方效用及模型出发,以系统和动态的视角对双方行为进了博弈分析.研究结果表明保护与侵犯构成为一对均衡策略状态,其主要原因在于一定条件下,保护方期望的效用均衡处于低水平态势,从而提出在效用模糊因子的调整中不断提高保护方的动态效用水平是推进有效保护知识产权的动力途径.     

Deductibles in health insurance

This study is an extension to a simulation study that has been developed to determine ruin probabilities in health insurance. The study concentrates on inpatient and outpatient benefits for customers of varying age bands. Loss distributions are modelled through the Allianz tool pack for different classes of insureds. Premiums at different levels of deductibles are derived in the simulation and ruin probabilities are computed assuming a linear loading on the premium. The increase in the probability of ruin at high levels of the deductible clearly shows the insufficiency of proportional loading in deductible premiums. The PH-transform pricing rule developed by Wang is analyzed as an alternative pricing rule. A simple case, where an insured is assumed to be an exponential utility decision maker while the insurer’s pricing rule is a PH-transform is also treated.     

Continuity and Uniqueness of Equilibria for Linear Exchange Economies

The purpose of this paper is to study the continuity and uniqueness properties of equilibria for linear exchange economies. We characterize the sets of utility vectors and initial endowments for which the equilibrium price is unique and respectively the set for which the equilibrium allocation is unique. We show that the equilibrium allocation correspondence is continuous with respect to the initial endowments and we characterize the set of full measure where the equilibrium allocation correspondence with respect to the initial endowments and utility vectors is continuous.

Optimal proportional reinsurance and investment with multiple risky assets and no-shorting constraint

In this paper, the basic claim process is assumed to follow a Brownian motion with drift. In addition, the insurer is allowed to invest in a risk-free asset and n risky assets and to purchase proportional reinsurance. Under the constraint of no-shorting, we consider two optimization problems: the problem of maximizing the expected exponential utility of terminal wealth and the problem of minimizing the probability of ruin. By solving the corresponding Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equations, explicit expressions for their optimal value functions and the corresponding optimal strategies are obtained. In particular, when there is no risk-free interest rate, the results indicate that the optimal strategies, under maximizing the expected exponential utility and minimizing the probability of ruin, are equivalent for some special parameter. This validates Ferguson’s longstanding conjecture about the relation between the two problems.     

An optimal insurance strategy for an individual under an intertemporal equilibrium

In this paper, we discuss how a risk-averse individual under an intertemporal equilibrium chooses his/her optimal insurance strategy to maximize his/her expected utility of terminal wealth. It is shown that the individual’s optimal insurance strategy actually is equivalent to buying a put option, which is written on his/her holding asset with a proper strike price. Since the cost of avoiding risk can be seen as a risk measure, the put option premium can be considered as a reasonable risk measure. Jarrow [Jarrow, R., 2002. Put option premiums and coherent risk measures. Math. Finance 12, 135-142] drew this conclusion with an axiomatic approach, and we verify it by solving the individual’s optimal insurance problem.     

不同质量调整法在消费者价格指数(CPI)中的应用

传统的消费者价格指数(CPI)存在着一定的质量偏差,不能真实地反映实际价格的变化.直接比较法、交叠法、生产成本法、链接法等质量调整法的应用均有一定的局限性,且缺陷较多,均指插补调整借助于缺失值插补的原理,以同一组内商品价格的平均变化率作为质量调整系数,能有效地降低价格指数的质量偏差。Hedonic质量调整法是以实际资料建立的回归方程为基础,运用数学的手段科学的将质量变化程度加以量化,因此与传统的质量调整法相比含有较少的主观因素,为CPI指数的准确度量提供了科学的质量调整依据.
