Study risk-minimizing insurance investments with taxes and expenses.
The paper analyzes multivariate payments in multi-state life insurance using Markovian state processes.
Optimal dividend strategy for insurance company in foreign currency.
The paper calculates bonus values in complex insurance schemes.
This paper concerns an optimal dividend distribution problem for an insurance company with surplus-dependent premium. In the absence of dividend payments, such a risk process is a particular case of so-called piecewise deterministic Markov processes. The control mechanism chooses the size of dividend payments. The obje…
The aim of this paper is to introduce an insurance model allowing reinsurance and dividend payment. Our model deals with several homogeneous contracts and takes into account the legislation regarding the provisions to be justified by the insurance companies. This translates into some restriction on the (maximal) number…
We consider an optimal control problem of a property insurance company with proportional reinsurance strategy. The insurance business brings in catastrophe risk, such as earthquake and flood. The catastrophe risk could be partly reduced by reinsurance. The management of the company controls the reinsurance rate and div…
Derives equations for life insurance reserves with interest rate uncertainty.
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…
Two machine learning models detect anomalies in ER claims, saving up to 40% in improper payments.
Research examines GMIB and reset options in variable annuities.
In this paper, we consider the problem of maximizing the expected discounted utility of dividend payments for an insurance company that controls risk exposure by purchasing proportional reinsurance. We assume the preference of the insurer is of CRRA form. By solving the corresponding Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation, w…
Derives FPDE for equity-linked insurance pricing.
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.
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…
The paper optimizes insurance dividend payments and reinsurance strategies under specific distribution constraints.
We consider the problem of maximizing the discounted utility of dividend payments of an insurance company whose reserves are modeled as a classical Cramér-Lundberg risk process. We investigate this optimization problem under the constraint that dividend rate is bounded. We prove that the value function fulfills the Ham…
Optimizes capital structure for life insurance companies with surplus participation.
We consider in this paper the optimal dividend problem for an insurance company whose uncontrolled reserve process evolves as a classical Cramér--Lundberg process. The firm has the option of investing part of the surplus in a Black--Scholes financial market. The objective is to find a strategy consisting of both invest…
Study optimal strategies for insurer's dividends, investments, and liabilities.
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.
The paper analyzes insurance pricing and capital allocation in imperfect markets.
Neural networks improve loss reserving with case estimates and transaction data.
New model for disability insurance reserving handles delays in claim information.
Paper models demand and solvency for index insurance, combining traditional and measurable index-based coverage.
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…
Deviance Voronoi residuals improve earthquake insurance risk assessment.
Model predicts individual insurance claim reserves using activation patterns.
Two insurance companies collaborate to maximize the probability of none going bankrupt.
This paper concerns an optimal dividend distribution problem for an insurance company whose risk process evolves as a spectrally negative Lévy process (in the absence of dividend payments). The management of the company is assumed to control timing and size of dividend payments. The objective is to maximize the sum of …
Motivated by Kyprianou and Zhou (2009), Wang and Hu (2012), Avram et al. (2017), Li et al. (2017) and Wang and Zhou (2018), we consider in this paper the problem of maximizing the expected accumulated discounted tax payments of an insurance company, whose reserve process (before taxes are deducted) evolves as a spectra…
The online environment has provided a great opportunity for insurance policyholders to share their complaints with respect to different services. These complaints can reveal valuable information for insurance companies who seek to improve their services; however, analyzing a huge number of online complaints is a compli…
The paper tackles robust control for insurance contracts under uncertain transition rates.
Managing unemployment is one of the key issues in social policies. Unemployment insurance schemes are designed to cushion the financial and morale blow of loss of job but also to encourage the unemployed to seek new jobs more pro-actively due to the continuous reduction of benefit payments. In the present paper, a simp…
Optimal dividend strategy in insurance with limited rate decrease.
The paper optimizes insurer's dividend, reinsurance, and capital injection strategies for two collaborating business lines.
In this paper we introduce a sublinear conditional expectation with respect to a family of possibly nondominated probability measures on a progressively enlarged filtration. In this way, we extend the classic reduced-form setting for credit and insurance markets to the case under model uncertainty, when we consider a f…
Study investigates ruin probability with random premiums and risky investments.
This paper studies a Value-at-Risk (VaR)-regulated optimal portfolio problem of the equity holders of a participating life insurance contract. In a setting with unhedgeable mortality risk and complete financial market, the optimal solution is given explicitly for contracts with mortality risk using a martingale approac…
The paper finds optimal threshold strategies for insurance companies with a positive terminal value at creeping ruin.
Study optimal dividend strategies for insurers with natural catastrophe claims.
We consider an insurance entity endowed with an initial capital and a surplus process modelled as a Brownian motion with drift. It is assumed that the company seeks to maximise the cumulated value of expected discounted dividends, which are declared or paid in a foreign currency. The currency fluctuation is modelled as…
Our article considers the class of recently developed stochastic models that combine claims payments and incurred losses information into a coherent reserving methodology. In particular, we develop a family of Heirarchical Bayesian Paid-Incurred-Claims models, combining the claims reserving models of Hertig et al. (198…
The paper studies pricing of insurance products focusing on the pricing of annuities under uncertainty. This pricing problem is crucial for financial decision making and was studied intensively, however, many open questions still remain. In particular, there is a so-called "annuity puzzle" related to certain inconsiste…
