In this paper we analyze the time of ruin in a risk process with the interclaim times being Erlang(n) distributed and a constant dividend barrier. We obtain an integro-differential equation for the Laplace Transform of the time of ruin. Explicit solutions for the moments of the time of ruin are...

In this paper we introduce different kinds of dividend barriers in the classical model ruin theory. We study the influence of barrier strategy on ruin probability. A method based on renewal equations [Grandell (1991)], alternative to differential argument [Gerber (1975)], is used to get the...

The process of free reserves in a non-life insurance portfolio as defined in the classical model of risk theory is modified by the introduction of dividend policies that set maximum levels for the accumulation of reserves. The first part of the work formulates the quantification of the dividend...

Consideramos el proceso clasico del riesgo modificado con la introduccion de una barrera de dividendos constante, de tal forma que cuando el proceso de reservas alcanza la barrera se pagan dividendos hasta la ocurrencia del siguiente siniestro. En la literatura actuarial se plantea el calculo de...
