Accomplishments of this program have provided numerous dividends and might benefit areas outside infectious diseases.

A rm whose net earnings are uncertain, and that is subject to the risk of bankruptcy, must choose between paying dividends and retaining earnings in a liquid reserve. Also, diierent operating strategies imply diierent combinations of expected return and variance. We model the rm's cash reserve as the diierence between the cumulative net earnings and the cumulative dividends. The rst is a diiusi...

We introduce a simple model for the pricing of European style options when the underlying dividend process is given by a geometric Brownian motion with Markov-modulated coefficients. It turns out that the corresponding stock process is characterized by both stochastic coefficients and jumps. Transform methods are used to recover option prices. The model is calibrated to market data and the resu...

in which CBS is the usual European call price of an option without dividends. The function φ(S0, S, td) is the log-normal no dividend density function. The integral representation given in (1) does not have an explicit solution. It can be approximated with a numerical integration method, which may be complicated due to the right side boundary at infinity. Another possibility is to solve the Bla...

This paper uncovers an increasing proportion of quoted UK companies omitting cash dividends. Using a large panel of quoted UK companies, we estimate models for the incidence of dividend omissions and cuts as functions of financial characteristics including cash flow, leverage, investment opportunities, investment and company size. These variables account for most of the increase in omission sin...

This paper investigates dividend optimization of an insurance corporation under a more realistic model which takes into consideration refinancing or capital injections. The model follows the compound Poisson framework with credit interest for positive reserve, and debit interest for negative reserve. Ruin occurs when the reserve drops below the critical value. The company controls the dividend ...
