Optimal dividend strategy for insurance company in foreign currency.

problem Maximizing dividends paid in a foreign currency until ruin.

We consider a two-dimensional optimal dividend problem in the context of two branches of an insurance company with compound Poisson surplus processes dividing claims and premia in some specified proportions. We solve the stochastic control problem of maximizing expected cumulative discounted dividend payments (among al…

Research examines GMIB and reset options in variable annuities.

problem Understanding the value and rationality of GMIB and reset options.

We consider the insurance company as a physical system which is immersed in its environment (the financial market). The insurer company interacts with the market by exchanging the money through the payments for loss claims and receiving the premium. Here in the equilibrium state we obtain the premium by using the canon…

When an insurance note is also a derivative a serious problem arises because a derivative must be fulfilled immediately. This feature of derivatives prevents claims processing procedures that screen out ineligible claims. This, in turn, creates a perverse incentive for insured holders of notes to commit acts that resul…

The paper optimizes tax implementation delays for insurance companies with Lévy risk processes.

problem Maximizing tax payments and minimizing costs for insurance companies.
method Optimization of tax implementation levels for spectrally negative Lévy insurance risk processes.
result Optimal implementation levels for tax payments and capital injections are derived.

In this paper we consider the optimal dividend problem for an insurance company whose risk process evolves as a spectrally negative Lévy process in the absence of dividend payments. The classical dividend problem for an insurance company consists in finding a dividend payment policy that maximizes the total expected di…

problem Optimizing insurance dividend payments and reinsurance strategies with terminal distribution constraints.
method Explicit expressions for optimal strategies found in both discrete and continuous time settings.
result Explicit expressions for optimal dividend strategies and reinsurance strategies found.

Optimizes capital structure for life insurance companies with surplus participation.

problem Determining the optimal participation rate in life insurance contracts.
method Adapted Leland's dynamic capital structure model to life insurance context.

Study optimal strategies for insurer's dividends, investments, and liabilities.

problem Maximize insurer's utility of dividend payments over an infinite horizon.
method Perturbation approach to obtain optimal strategy and value function in closed form.
result Obtained optimal strategy and value function for log and power utility.

The distribution of health care payments to insurance plans has substantial consequences for social policy. Risk adjustment formulas predict spending in health insurance markets in order to provide fair benefits and health care coverage for all enrollees, regardless of their health status. Unfortunately, current risk a…

Subsidized insurance reduces poverty by providing social benefits and lowering government costs.

problem Reducing poverty through effective social protection mechanisms.
method Modeling household capital dynamics under four insurance frameworks (uninsured, insured, insured with subsidies, insured with flexible premiums) to assess poverty reduction and governmental costs.
result Subsidized insurance schemes provide maximum social benefits while reducing governmental costs, effectively reducing poverty.

The paper analyzes insurance pricing and capital allocation in imperfect markets.

problem Analyzing insurance pricing and capital allocation in imperfect markets.
method Non-additive distortion pricing functional and principle of equal priority of payments in default.
result Derives the natural allocation of premium and margin with properties that merit the name.

Neural networks improve loss reserving with case estimates and transaction data.

problem Improving loss reserving accuracy using neural networks.
method Comparison of feed-forward and recurrent neural networks trained on case estimates and transaction data.
result Case estimates significantly improve predictions, but memory-equipped neural networks offer minimal additional benefit.

New model for disability insurance reserving handles delays in claim information.

problem Disability insurance claims are affected by long delays and adjudication processes.
method Proposes a new individual reserving model for real-time claim evolution.
result Shows that new reserves can be calculated as modifications of classic reserves.

Paper models demand and solvency for index insurance, combining traditional and measurable index-based coverage.

problem Reducing protection gaps for emerging risks.
method Develops a model for demand and solvency conditions, combining traditional and index-based insurance.
result Deduces a product that benefits from both traditional and index-based insurance approaches.

Variable annuities (VA) are popular insurance products. VAs provides the insured with a guaranteed accumulation rate on their premium at maturity. In addition, the insured may receive extra benefit if returns of underlying funds are high enough. Here we consider a special case of VA with high-water mark feature and Gua…
