In this paper, we study optimal reinsurance/new business and investment (no-shorting) strategy for the mean-variance problem in two risk models: a classical risk model and a diffusion model. The problem is firstly reduced to a stochastic linear-quadratic (LQ) control problem with constraints....

In this paper, the basic claim process is assumed to follow a Brownian motion with drift. In addition, the insurer is allowed to invest in a risk-free asset and n risky assets and to purchase proportional reinsurance. Under the constraint of no-shorting, we consider two optimization problems:...

Assume that an insurer has two dependent lines of business. The reserves of the two lines of business are modeled by a two-dimensional compound Poisson risk process or a common shock model. To protect from large losses and to reduce the ruin probability of the insurer, the insurer applies a...

In this paper we study the optimal excess-of-loss reinsurance and dividend strategy for maximizing the expected total discounted dividends received by shareholders until ruin time. Transaction costs and taxes are required when dividends occur. The problem is formulated as a stochastic impulse...
