Optimal dividend strategies in discrete risk model with capital injections

In this paper we consider a doubly discrete model used in Dickson and Waters (biASTIN Bulletin 1991; 21 :199–221) to approximate the Cramér–Lundberg model. The company controls the amount of dividends paid out to the shareholders as well as the capital injections which make the company never ruin in order to maximize the cumulative expected discounted dividends minus the penalized discounted capital injections. We show that the optimal value function is the unique solution of a discrete Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equation by contraction mapping principle. Moreover, with capital injection, we reduce the optimal dividend strategy from band strategy in the discrete classical risk model without external capital injection into barrier strategy , which is consistent with the result in continuous time. We also give the equivalent condition when the optimal dividend barrier is equal to 0. Although there is no explicit solution to the value function and the optimal dividend barrier, we obtain the optimal dividend barrier and the approximating solution of the value function by Bellman's recursive algorithm. From the numerical calculations, we obtain some relevant economical insights. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Optimal choice of dividend barriers for a risk process with stochastic return on investments

We consider a risk process with stochastic return on investments and we are interested in expected present value of all dividends paid until ruin occurs when the company uses a simple barrier strategy, i.e. when it pays dividends whenever its surplus reaches a level b. It is shown that given the barrier b, this expected value can be found by solving a boundary value problem for an integro-differential equation. The solution is then found in two special cases; when return on investments is constant and the surplus generating process is compound Poisson with exponentially distributed claims, and also when both return on investments as well as the surplus generating process are Brownian motions with drift. Also in this latter case we are able to find the optimal barrier b^*, i.e. the barrier that gives the highest expected present value of dividends. Parallell with this we treat the problem of finding the Laplace transform of the distribution of the time to ruin when a barrier strategy is employed, noting that the probability of eventual ruin is 1 in this case. The paper ends with a short discussion of the same problems when a time dependent barrier is employed.     

EXPECTED DISCOUNTED PENALTY FUNCTION AT RUIN FOR RISK PROCESS PERTURBED BY DIFFUSION UNDER INTEREST FORCE

In this article, the risk process perturbed by diffusion under interest force is considered, the continuity and twice continuous differentiability for Фδ（u,w） are discussed,the Feller expression and the integro-differential equation satisfied by Фδ （u ,w） are derived. Finally, the decomposition of Фδ（u,w） is discussed, and some properties of each decomposed part of Фδ（u,w） are obtained. The results can be reduced to some ones in Gerber and Landry＇s,Tsai and Willmot＇s, and Wang＇s works by letting parameter δ and （or） a be zero.     

Optimal risk control and dividend policies under excess of loss reinsurance

We study the optimal reinsurance policy and dividend distribution of an insurance company under excess of loss reinsurance. The objective of the insurer is to maximize the expected discounted dividends. We suppose that in the absence of dividend distribution, the reserve process of the insurance company follows a compound Poisson process. We first prove existence and uniqueness results for this optimization problem by using singular stochastic control methods and the theory of viscosity solutions. We then compute the optimal strategy of reinsurance, the optimal dividend strategy and the value function by solving the associated integro-differential Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman Variational Inequality numerically.     

Optimal dividend payout for classical risk model with risk constraint

In this paper we consider the problem of maximizing the total discounted utility of dividend payments for a Cramér-Lundberg risk model subject to both proportional and fixed transaction costs.We assume that dividend payments are prohibited unless the surplus of insurance company has reached a level b.Given fixed level b,we derive a integro-differential equation satisfied by the value function.By solving this equation we obtain the analytical solutions of the value function and the optimal dividend strategy when claims are exponentially distributed.Finally we show how the threshold b can be determined so that the expected ruin time is not less than some T.Also,numerical examples are presented to illustrate our results.     

Optimal dividend strategies in a dual model with capital injections

We study three types of practical optimization problems faced by a firm that can control its liquid reserves by paying dividends and by issuing new equity. In the first problem, we consider the classical dividend problem without equity issuance. The second problem aims at maximizing the expected discounted dividend payments minus the expected discounted costs of issuing new equity over strategies associated with positive reserves at all times. The third problem has the same objective as the second one, but with no constraints on the reserves. Under the assumption of proportional transaction costs, we identify the value functions and the optimal strategies. We also present the relationship between three problems.     

ASYMPTOTIC THEORY FOR A RISK PROCESS WITH A HIGH DIVIDEND BARRIER

A modified classical model with a dividend barrier is considered. It is shown that there is a simple approximation formula for the time of ruin when the level of dividend barrier is high and the claim sizes have a distribution that belongs to S（γ） with γ 〉0.     

On the renewal risk model with interest and dividend

We consider that the reserve of an insurance company follows a renewal risk process with interest and dividend. For this risk process, we derive integral equations and exact infinite series expressions for the Gerber-Shiu discounted penalty function. Then we give lower and upper bounds for the ruin probability. Finally, we present exact expressions for the ruin probability in a special case of renewal risk processes.     

Optimal equilibrium barrier strategies for time-inconsistent dividend problems in discrete time

This paper studies a time-inconsistent dividend problem in discrete time with nonexponential discounting. Motivated by the decreasing impatience in behaviour economics, a general discount function is used and assumed to be log sub-additive. Using a game-theoretic approach equilibrium barrier strategies are considered. It is shown that in the case of multiple equilibria, there exists an optimal one that pointwisely dominates all the other equilibria. Case studies are conducted where there is no equilibrium, multiple equilibria, and a unique equilibrium.     

Optimal reinsurance and investment strategies for insurer under interest rate and inflation risks

In this paper, we investigate an optimal reinsurance and investment problem for an insurer whose surplus process is approximated by a drifted Brownian motion. Proportional reinsurance is to hedge the risk of insurance. Interest rate risk and inflation risk are considered. We suppose that the instantaneous nominal interest rate follows an Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process, and the inflation index is given by a generalized Fisher equation. To make the market complete, zero-coupon bonds and Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are included in the market. The financial market consists of cash, zero-coupon bond, TIPS and stock. We employ the stochastic dynamic programming to derive the closed-forms of the optimal reinsurance and investment strategies as well as the optimal utility function under the constant relative risk aversion (CRRA) utility maximization. Sensitivity analysis is given to show the economic behavior of the optimal strategies and optimal utility.     

Optimal debt ratio and dividend payment strategies with reinsurance

This paper derives the optimal debt ratio and dividend payment strategies for an insurance company. Taking into account the impact of reinsurance policies and claims from the credit derivatives, the surplus process is stochastic that is jointly determined by the reinsurance strategies, debt levels, and unanticipated shocks. The objective is to maximize the total expected discounted utility of dividend payment until financial ruin. Using dynamic programming principle, the value function is the solution of a second-order nonlinear Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equation. The subsolution–supersolution method is used to verify the existence of classical solutions of the Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equation. The explicit solution of the value function is derived and the corresponding optimal debt ratio and dividend payment strategies are obtained in some special cases. An example is provided to illustrate the methodologies and some interesting economic insights.

Liquidity risk and optimal dividend/investment strategies

In this paper, we study the problem of determining an optimal control on the dividend and investment policy of a firm operating under uncertain environment and risk constraints. We allow the company to make investment decisions by acquiring or selling producing assets whose value is governed by a stochastic process. The firm may face liquidity costs when it decides to buy or sell assets. We formulate this problem as a multi-dimensional mixed singular and multi-switching control problem and use a viscosity solution approach. We numerically compute our optimal strategies and enrich our studies with numerical results and illustrations.     

Asymptotic analysis of a risk process with high dividend barrier

In this paper we study a risk model with constant high dividend barrier. We apply Keilson’s (1966) results to the asymptotic distribution of the time until occurrence of a rare event in a regenerative process, and then results of the cycle maxima for random walk to obtain the asymptotic distribution of the time to ruin and the amount of dividends paid until ruin.     

Optimal dividend strategies in a Cramér-Lundberg model with capital injections

We consider a classical risk model with dividend payments and capital injections. Thereby, the surplus has to stay positive. Like in the classical de Finetti problem, we want to maximise the discounted dividend payments minus the penalised discounted capital injections. We derive the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation for the problem and show that the optimal strategy is a barrier strategy. We explicitly characterise when the optimal barrier is at 0 and find the solution for exponentially distributed claim sizes.
