Abstract:A combined dividend and risk control problem is presented and investigated in this paper. The risk of the insurance firm is controlled by using a proportional reinsurance policy. It is considered that the evolution of the cash reserves of the firm is driven by a generalised Itô-Lévy process. The surplus cash reserves earn interest at a constant rate. The objective of the firm is to maximise the total expected discounted dividends paid out to share holders. The situation is modelled as an impulse-classical control problem. We manage to construct the value function and the optimal impulse control. The existence and uniqueness of an optimal classical control is proved.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
