Optimal Dividend Payouts under Jump-diffusion Risk Processes

چکیده
This article considers the dividend optimization problem for an insurer with a jumpdiffusion risk process in the presence of fixed and proportional transaction costs. Due to the presence of a fixed transaction cost, the mathematical problem becomes an impulse stochastic control problem. Using a stochastic impulse control approach, we transform the stochastic control problem into a quasi-variational inequality for a second-order nonlinear integro-differential equation. Under a risk-neutral assumption for the insurer, we solve this problem explicitly and construct the value function together with the optimal policy. Finally, we discuss the expected time to the first dividend payment when the optimal strategy is employed.

Impulse Control of Proportional Reinsurance with Constraints
We consider an insurance company whose surplus follows a diffusion process with proportional reinsurance and impulse dividend control. Our objective is to maximize expected discounted dividend payouts to shareholders of the company until the time of bankruptcy. To meet some essential requirements of solvency control e.g., bankruptcy not soon , we impose some constraints on the insurance company...
متن کاملOptimal dividend policies with transaction costs for a class of jump-diffusion processes
In the talk we will address the problem of finding an optimal dividend policy for a class of jumpdiffusion processes. The jump component is a compound Poisson process with negative jumps, and the drift and diffusion components are assumed to satisfy some regularity and growth restrictions. With each dividend payment there is associated a fixed and a proportional cost. The aim is to maximize exp...
متن کاملOptimal Execution Under Jump Models For Uncertain Price Impact∗†
In the execution cost problem, an investor wants to minimize the total expected cost and risk in the execution of a portfolio of risky assets to achieve desired positions. A major source of the execution cost comes from price impacts of both the investor’s own trades and other concurrent institutional trades. Indeed price impact of large trades have been considered as one of the main reasons fo...
متن کاملApproximation of Optimal Reinsurance and Dividend Pay-out Policies
We consider the stochastic process of the liquid assets of an insurance company assuming that the management can control this process in two ways: first, the risk exposure can be reduced by affecting reinsurance, but this decreases the premium income. Second, a dividend has to be paid out to the shareholders. The aim is to maximize the expected discounted dividend pay-out until the time of bank...
متن کاملAnalytical Valuation of Asian Options with Continuously Paying Dividends in Jump-Diffusion Models
We consider the problem of valuation of certain Asian options in the geometric jump-diffusion models with continuously dividend-paying assets. With the sources of diffusion risks and two primitive tradeable assets, the market in this model is, in general, incomplete, and so, there are more than one equivalent martingale measures and no-arbitrage prices. For this jump-diffusion model, we adopt t...
