We consider a multi-stock market model. The processes of stock prices are governed by stochastic differential equations with stock return rates and volatilities driven by a finite-state Markov process. Each volatility is also disturbed by a Brownian motion; more exactly, it follows a...

We consider a problem of risk control and dividend optimization for a financial corporation facing a constant liability payment. More specifically we investigate the case of excess-of-loss reinsurance for an insurance company. In this scheme the insurance company diverts a part of its premium...

In this paper, first we study a stochastic volatility market model for which an explicit candidate solution to the problem of maximizing the utility function of terminal wealth is obtained. Applying this result, we present a complete solution for the Heston model, which is a particular case of...

This paper represents a model for risk management in a firm which exercises control of its risk as well as potential profit by choosing different business activities among those available to it. Furthermore, the firm has an option of investing its reserve in a financial market consisting of a...
