چکیده

In this paper we study a dynamic contracting problem of optimal risk-sharing between a principal and an agent who invest in a common constant-returns-to-scale risky venture. Investment flow-returns follow a geometric Brownian motion and the two agents’ risk-preferences are represented by additively separable utility functions exhibiting constant relative risk-aversion (CRRA). Principal and agent have different coefficients of relative risk-aversion. In any time period they invest their wealth in the risky venture and optimally share the underlying return risk and termination risk. When the project ends the two individuals divide the accumulated proceeds as specified in the risk-sharing contract and consume their final accumulated wealth. The paper characterizes risk-sharing formulae that approximate the optimal risk-sharing rules.

System Dynamics Aproach For Quantitative Risk Allocaion

Allocation of construction risks between clients and their contractors has a significant impact on the total construction costs. This paper presents a system dynamics (SD)-based approach for quantitative risk allocation. Using the proposed SD based approach, all the factors affecting the risk allocation process are modeled. The contractor’s defensive strategies against the one-sided risk alloca...

A Novel Analysis of Risk Sharing Effects on Income Inequality in Informal Insurances

T his study aims to demonstrate that joining in risk sharing network leads to the reduction in incomes volatility. In this respect, income variance for a group of members in an informal insurance is modelled in which income variance prior to joining risk sharing network and after joining is analyzed statistically. A Monte Carlo simulation technique is used to prove the result. To extend an...

DC Voltage Control and Power-Sharing of Multi-Terminal DC Grids Based on Optimal DC Power Flow and Flexible Voltage Droop Strategy

This paper develops an effective control framework for DC voltage control and power-sharing of multi-terminal DC (MTDC) grids based on an optimal power flow (OPF) procedure and the voltage-droop control. In the proposed approach, an OPF algorithm is executed at the secondary level to find optimal reference of DC voltages and active powers of all voltage-regulating converters. Then, the voltage ...

Optimal adaptive leader-follower consensus of linear multi-agent systems: Known and unknown dynamics

In this paper, the optimal adaptive leader-follower consensus of linear continuous time multi-agent systems is considered. The error dynamics of each player depends on its neighbors’ information. Detailed analysis of online optimal leader-follower consensus under known and unknown dynamics is presented. The introduced reinforcement learning-based algorithms learn online the approximate solution...

Enhancement of Articulated Heavy Vehicle Stability by Optimal Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) Controller of Roll-yaw Dynamics

Non-linear characteristic of tire forces is the main cause of vehicle lateral dynamics instability, while direct yaw moment control is an effective method to recover the vehicle stability. In this paper, an optimal linear quadratic regulator (LQR) controller for roll-yaw dynamics to articulated heavy vehicles is developed. For this purpose, the equations of motion obtained by the MATLAB sof...
