Optimizing Expected Utility of Dividend Payments for a Brownian Risk Process and a Peculiar Nonlinear ODE
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the problem of maximizing the expected utility of discounted dividend payments of an insurance company. The risk process, describing the insurance business of the company, is modeled as Brownian motion with drift. We mainly consider power utility and special emphasis is given to the limiting behavior when the coefficient of risk aversion tends to zero. We then find convergence of the corresponding dividend strategies to the classical case of maximizing the expected dividend payments.

We seek to determine the optimal amount of the insurer’s investment in all types of assets for a small and closed economy. The goal is to detect the implications and contributions the risk seeker and risk aversion insurer commonly make and the effectiveness in the investment decision. Also, finding the optimum portfolio for each is the main goal of the present study. To this end, we adopted the...
متن کاملOn Gerber-shiu Functions and Optimal Dividend Distribution for a Lévy Risk-process in the Presence of a Penalty Function
In this paper we consider an optimal dividend problem for an insurance company which risk process evolves as a spectrally negative Lévy process (in the absence of dividend payments). We assume that the management of the company controls timing and size of dividend payments. The objective is to maximize the sum of the expected cumulative discounted dividends received until the moment of ruin and...

In this paper, we consider the dividend payments prior to absolute ruin in a Markovian regime-switching risk process in which the rate for the Poisson claim arrivals and the distribution of the claim amounts are driven by an underlying Markov jump process. A system of integro-differential equations with boundary conditions satisfied by the moment-generating function, the n th moment of the disc...

In the absence of investment and dividend payments, the surplus is modeled by a Brownian motion. But now assume that the surplus earns investment income at a constant rate of credit interest. Dividends are paid to the shareholders according to a barrier strategy. It is shown how the expected discounted value of the dividends and the optimal dividend barrier can be calculated; Kummer’s confluent...
