摘要
En 中文
We consider a discrete time version of the popular optimal dividend payout problem in risk theory. The novel aspect of our approach is that we allow for a risk averse insurer, i.e., instead of maximising the expected discounted dividends until ruin we maximise the expected utility of discounted dividends until ruin. This task has been proposed as an open problem in Gerber and Shiu (2004). The model in a continuous-time Brownian motion setting with the exponential utility function has been analysed in Grandits et al. (2007). Nevertheless, a complete solution has not been provided. In this work, instead we solve the problem in discrete time setup for the exponential and the power utility functions and give the structure of optimal history-dependent dividend policies. We make use of certain ideas studied earlier in Bauerle and Rieder (2011), where Markov decision processes with general utility functions were treated. Our analysis, however, includes new aspects, since the reward functions in this case are not bounded. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
