In this paper, we discuss how a risk-averse individual under an intertemporal equilibrium chooses his/her optimal insurance strategy to maximize his/her expected utility of terminal wealth. It is shown that the individual's optimal insurance strategy actually is equivalent to buying a put...

In this paper, we impose the insurer's risk constraint on Arrow's optimal insurance model. The insured aims to maximize his/her expected utility of terminal wealth, under the constraint that the insurer wishes to control the expected loss of his/her terminal wealth below some prespecified level....

This paper analyzes intraday interdependence of returns and trades between Chinese equity and warrants markets based on a vector autoregression framework proposed by Chan et al. (2002). We find that both stock and warrant trades contain useful information for revealing quotes in the stock and...

In this paper, we propose to use insurance stock returns as an indicator of insurance activities, and apply a dynamic panel technique to examine the link between the role of insurance and economic growth. Our empirical results show that after we control for the variations of market index...

In this paper we consider the optimal insurance problem when the insurer has a loss limit constraint. Under the assumptions that the insurance price depends only on the policy's actuarial value, and the insured seeks to maximize the expected utility of his terminal wealth, we show that coverage...

In this paper, we impose the insurer's Value at Risk (VaR) constraint on Arrow's optimal insurance model. The insured aims to maximize his expected utility of terminal wealth, under the constraint that the insurer wishes to control the VaR of his terminal wealth to be maintained below a...

In this article, we take the funding liquidity risk into account when determining the optimal liquidity reserve ratio for a commercial bank. A simple continuous-time model is developed, and a discrete-time model is built as a benchmark. We find that compared with the continuous-time model, the...
