Optimal Dividend Problem for a Compound Poisson Risk Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this note we study the optimal dividend problem for a company whose surplus process, in the absence of dividend payments, evolves as a generalized compound Poisson model in which the counting process is a generalized Poisson process. This model includes the classical risk model and the Pólya-Aeppli risk model as special cases. The objective is to find a dividend policy so as to maximize the expected discounted value of dividends which are paid to the shareholders until the company is ruined. We show that under some conditions the optimal dividend strategy is formed by a barrier strategy. Moreover, two conjectures are proposed.

Optimal dividend strategies for a compound Poisson process under transaction costs and power utility
We characterize the value function of maximizing the total discounted utility of dividend payments for a compound Poisson insurance risk model when strictly positive transaction costs are included, leading to an impulse control problem. We show how to derive an optimal strategy for exponential claim amounts and construct a numerical procedure to deal with general claim amount distributions. 1 C...
متن کاملOptimal Dividend Payments for the Piecewise-Deterministic Poisson Risk Model
This paper deals with optimal dividend payment problem in the general setup of a piecewise-deterministic compound Poisson risk model. The objective of an insurance business under consideration is to maximize the expected discounted dividend payout up to the time of ruin. Both restricted and unrestricted payment schemes are considered. In the case of restricted payment scheme, the value function...
متن کاملOptimal dividend control for a generalized risk model with investment incomes and debit interest
This paper investigates dividend optimization of an insurance corporation under a more realistic model which takes into consideration refinancing or capital injections. The model follows the compound Poisson framework with credit interest for positive reserve, and debit interest for negative reserve. Ruin occurs when the reserve drops below the critical value. The company controls the dividend ...
متن کاملOptimal Dividend Policies for Piecewise-Deterministic Compound
This paper considers the optimal dividend payment problem in piecewise-deterministic compound Poisson risk models. The objective is to maximize the expected discounted dividend payout up to the time of ruin. We provide a comparative study in this general framework of both restricted and unrestricted payment schemes, which were only previously treated separately in certain special cases of risk ...
متن کاملOptimal dividend policies for compound Poisson processes: The case of bounded dividend rates
We consider in this paper the optimal dividend problem for an insurance company whose uncontrolled reserve process evolves as a classical Cramér–Lundberg model with arbitrary claim-size distribution. Our objective is to find the dividend payment policy which maximizes the cumulative expected discounted dividend pay-outs until the time of bankruptcy imposing a ceiling on the dividend rates. We c...
