Optimal Premium Policy of an Insurance Firm with Delay and Stochastic Interest Rate
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we study the optimization problem confronted by an insurance firm whose management can control its cash-balance dynamics by adjusting the underlying premium rate. The firm’s objective is to minimize the total deviation of its cash-balance process to some pre-set target levels by selecting an appropriate premium policy. We study the problem in a general framework assuming the state process is governed by a stochastic delay differential equation and the classical utility function being replaced by a recursive utility or stochastic differential utility (SDU). We derive a sufficient maximum principle for an optimal control of such a system and apply the result to discuss some optimal premium rate control problems.

Policy options for value added to different levels of production
This paper presents an analytic procedure for the value added to different production levels with different policy options. The approach is stochastic and thus provides a framework for informed decision-making on productivity growth under uncertainty conditions. The model was applied to data collected from a firm and re-sults recommend that the firm should redevelop if in diversification and sy...
متن کاملInsurer Optimal Asset Allocation in a Small and Closed Economy: The Case of Iran’s Social Security Organization
We seek to determine the optimal amount of the insurer’s investment in all types of assets for a small and closed economy. The goal is to detect the implications and contributions the risk seeker and risk aversion insurer commonly make and the effectiveness in the investment decision. Also, finding the optimum portfolio for each is the main goal of the present study. To this end, we adopted the...
متن کاملDecision making in forest management with consideration of stochastic prices
The optimal harvesting policy is calculated as a function of the entering stock, the price state, the harvesting cost, and the rate of interest in the capital market. In order to determine the optimal harvest schedule, the growth function and stumpage price process are estimated for the Swedish mixed species forests. The stumpage price is assumed to follow a stochastic Markov process. A stoch...

The aim of this paper is determination of an optimal policy rule for Iranian economy from an Islamic perspective. This study draws on an Islamic instrument known as the Musharakah contract to design a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model. In this model the interest rate is no longer considered as a monetary policy instrument and the focus is on the impact of economic shocks on the Dynam...
متن کاملOptimal Production Policy under the Carbon Emission Market
The aim of this paper is to address the effect of the carbon emission allowance market on the production policy of a polluter production firm. We investigate this effect in three cases; when the firm is not a large polluter, when it has a large contribution in emission of carbon but can not affect the risk premium of the allowance market, and when it is a large contributor in the emission of ca...
