Optimal dividends in the dual model under transaction costs

چکیده
We analyze the optimal dividend payment problem in the dual model under constant transaction costs. We show, for a general spectrally positive Lévy process, an optimal strategy is given by a (c1, c2)-policy that brings the surplus process down to c1 whenever it reaches or exceeds c2 for some 0 ≤ c1 < c2. The value function is succinctly expressed in terms of the scale function. A series of numerical examples are provided to confirm the analytical results and to demonstrate the convergence to the no-transaction cost case, which was recently solved by Bayraktar et al. (2013). © 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Optimal investment problem with taxes, dividends and transaction costs under the constant elasticity of variance (CEV) model
This paper studies the optimal investment problem of utility maximization with taxes, dividends and transaction costs under the constant elasticity of variance (CEV) model. The Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation associated with the optimization problem is established via stochastic control approach. Applying power transform and variable change technique, we obtain explicit solutions for the...
متن کاملOption pricing and replication with transaction costs and dividends
This paper derives optimal perfect hedging portfolios in the presence of transaction costs within the binomial model of stock returns, for a market maker that establishes bid and ask prices for American call options on stocks paying dividends prior to expiration. It is shown that, while the option holder's optimal exercise policy at the ex-dividend date varies according to the stock price, ther...
متن کاملOptimal asset control of the diffusion model under consideration of the time value of ruin
In this paper, we consider the optimal asset control of a financial company which can control its liquid reserves by paying dividends and by issuing new equity. We assume that the liquid surplus of the company in the absence of control is modeled by the diffusion model. It is a hot topic to maximize the expected present value of dividends payout minus equity issuance until the time of ba...
متن کاملAn optimal dividends problem with transaction costs for spectrally negative Lévy processes
We consider an optimal dividends problem with transaction costs where the reserves are modeled by a spectrally negative Lévy process. We make the connection with the classical de Finetti problem and show in particular that when the Lévy measure has a log-convex density, then an optimal strategy is given by paying out a dividend in such a way that the reserves are reduced to a certain level c1 w...
متن کاملThe dual optimizer for the growth-optimal portfolio under transaction costs
We consider the maximization of the long-term growth rate in the Black-Scholes model under proportional transaction costs as in Taksar, Klass and Assaf [Math. Oper. Res. 13, 1988]. Similarly as in Kallsen and MuhleKarbe [Ann. Appl. Probab., 20, 2010] for optimal consumption over an infinite horizon, we tackle this problem by determining a shadow price, which is the solution of the dual problem....
