Finite time dividend-ruin models

چکیده
We consider the finite time horizon dividend-ruin model where the firm pays out dividends to its shareholders according to a dividend-barrier strategy and becomes ruined when the firm asset value falls below the default threshold. The asset value process is modeled as a restricted Geometric Brownian process with an upper reflecting (dividend) barrier and a lower absorbing (ruin) barrier. Analytic solutions to the value function of the restricted asset value process are provided. We also solve for the survival probability and the expected present value of future dividend payouts over a given time horizon. The sensitivities of the firm asset value and dividend payouts to the dividend barrier, volatility of the firm asset value and firm’s credit quality are also examined.

Asymptotic and numerical solutions for diffusion models for compounded risk reserves with dividend payments
We study a family of diffusion models for compounded risk reserves, which account for the investment income earned and for the inflation experienced on claim amounts. We are interested in the models which the dividend payments are paid from the risk reserves. After defining the process of conditional probability over finite time, the classical diffusion processes results turn the nonlinear stoc...
متن کاملRuin Analysis of a Discrete-Time Dependent Sparre Andersen Model with External Financial Activities and Randomized Dividends
We consider a discrete-time dependent Sparre Andersen risk model which incorporates multiple threshold levels characterizing an insurer’s minimal capital requirement, dividend paying situations, and external financial activities. We focus on the development of a recursive computational procedure to calculate the finite-time ruin probabilities and expected total discounted dividends paid prior t...
متن کاملDividend Strategies for Insurance risk models
Based on different objectives, various insurance risk models with adaptive polices have been proposed, such as dividend model, tax model, model with credibility premium, and so on. In this report, we will only focus the study on dividend strategies. Here are some reasons why the dividend strategy is of interest. For an insurance company, ruin occurs when a claim size is greater than its reserve...
متن کاملCompany value with ruin constraint in a discrete model
Optimal dividend payment under a ruin constraint is a two objective control problem 1 which – in simple models – can be solved numerically by three essentially different methods. One 2 is based on a modified Bellman equation and the policy improvement method (see (2003)). In this 3 paper we use explicit formulas for running allowed ruin probabilities which avoid a complete search 4 and speed up...
متن کاملDividend Maximization under Consideration of the Time Value of Ruin∗
In the Cramér-Lundberg model and its di usion approximation, it is a classical problem to nd the optimal dividend payment strategy that maximizes the expected value of the discounted dividend payments until ruin. One often raised disadvantage of this approach is the fact that such a strategy does not take the life time of the controlled process into account. In this paper we introduce a value f...
