Analysis of a Dividend Barrier Strategy for a Class of Markovian Risk Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider a class of Markovian risk models in which the insurer collects premiums at rate c1 (c2) whenever the surplus level is below (above) a constant barrier level b. We derive the LaplaceStieltjes transform (LST) of the distribution of the time to ruin as well as the LST (with respect to time) of the joint distribution of the time to ruin, the surplus prior to ruin, and the deficit at ruin. By interpreting that the insurer pays dividends continuously at rate c1 − c2 whenever the surplus level is above b, we also derive the expected discounted value of total dividend payments made prior to ruin. Our results are obtained by making use of an existing connection which links an insurer’s surplus process to an embedded fluid flow process.

Dividend 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 کاملThe Markovian Regime-Switching Risk Model with Constant Dividend Barrier under Absolute Ruin
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...
متن کاملStochastic control for spectrally negative Lévy processes
Three optimal dividend models are considered for which the underlying risk process is a spectrally negative Lévy process. The first one concerns the classical dividends problem of de Finetti for which we give sufficient conditions under which the optimal strategy is of barrier type. As a consequence, we are able to extend considerably the class of processes for which the barrier strategy proves...
متن کاملOn Exact Solutions for Dividend Strategies of Threshold and Linear Barrier Type in a Sparre Andersen Model* By
For the classical Cramér-Lundberg risk model, a dividend strategy of threshold type has recently been suggested in the literature. This strategy consists of paying out part of the premium income as dividends to shareholders whenever the free surplus is above a given threshold level. In contrast to the well-known horizontal barrier strategy, the threshold strategy can lead to a positive infinite...
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...
