In this paper, we study an insurer’s optimal time-consistent strategies under the mean–variance criterion with state dependent risk aversion. It is assumed that the surplus process is approximated by a diffusion process. The insurer can purchase proportional reinsurance and invest in a...

In this paper we formulate a continuous-time mean-variance portfolio selection model with multiple risky assets and one liability in an incomplete market. The risky assets' prices are governed by geometric Brownian motions while the liability evolves according to a Brownian motion with drift....

One index satisfies the duality axiom if one agent, who is uniformly more risk-averse than another, accepts a gamble, the latter accepts any less risky gamble under the index. Aumann and Serrano (2008) show that only one index defined for so-called gambles satisfies the duality and positive...

A continuous-time financial portfolio selection model with expected utility maximization typically boils down to solving a (static) convex stochastic optimization problem in terms of the terminal wealth, with a budget constraint. In literature the latter is solved by assuming {\it a priori} that...
