We show how to solve Merton optimal investment stochastic control problem for Hawkesbased models in finance and insurance (Propositions 1 and 2), i.e., for a wealth portfolio X(t) consisting of a bond and a stock price described by general compound Hawkes process (GCHP), and for a capital R(t)...

In this paper we study an optimal investment problem of an insurer when the company has the opportunity to invest in a risky asset using stochastic control techniques. A closed form solution is given when the risk preferences are exponential as well as an estimate of the ruin probability when...

We find the asymptotics of the value function maximizing the expected utility of discounted dividend payments of an insurance company whose reserves are modeled as a classical Cramér risk process, with exponentially distributed claims, when the initial reserves tend to infinity. We focus on the...

In a virtual organization directed on the insurance business, the estimations of the risk process and of the ruin probability are important concerns: for researchers, at the theoretical level, and for the management of the company, as these influence the insurer strategy. We consider the...

A user friendly approach to modeling the risk process is presented. It utilizes the insurance library of the XploRe computing environment which is accompanied by on-line, hyperlinked and freely downloadable from the web manuals and e-books. The empirical analysis for Danish fire losses for the...

We find an exact asymptotics of the ruin probability $\Psi (u)$ when the capital of insurance company is invested in a risky asset whose price follows a geometric Brownian motion with mean return a and volatility $\sigma0$. In contrast to the classical case of non-risky investments where the...
