On the Expected Time to Ruin and the Expected Dividends When Dividends Are Paid While the Surplus Is above a Constant Barrier

چکیده
We study the expected time to ruin in a risk process in which dividends are paid when the surplus is above the barrier. We consider the case in which the dividend rate is smaller than the premium rate. We obtain results for the classical compound Poisson risk process with phase-type claim size. When the ruin probability is 1, we derive the expected time to ruin and the expected dividends paid. When the ruin probability is less than 1, these quantities are derived conditioning on the event that ruin occurs.

Analysis of the Compound Poisson Surplus Model with Liquid Reserves, Interest and Dividends
The paper incorporates liquid reserves, interest and dividends in the compound Poisson surplus model. When an insurer’s surplus is below a certain level, it is kept as liquid reserves. As the surplus attains the level, the excess of the surplus above the level will earn interest at a constant interest rate. If the surplus continues to surpass a higher level, the excess of the surplus above this...
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 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 کاملOptimal Dividends in an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Type Model with Credit and Debit Interest
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...
متن کاملAnalysis of a Dividend Barrier Strategy for a Class of Markovian Risk Models
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 ru...
