We study a model of a corporation which has the possibility to choose various production/business policies with different expected profits and risks. In the model there are restrictions on the dividend distribution rates as well as restrictions on the risk the company can undertake. The objective is to maximize the expected present value of the total dividend distributions. We outline the corre...

In the Cramér-Lundberg model and its di usion approximation, it is a classical problem to nd the optimal dividend payment strategy that maximizes the expected value of the discounted dividend payments until ruin. One often raised disadvantage of this approach is the fact that such a strategy does not take the life time of the controlled process into account. In this paper we introduce a value f...

We investigate a model of a corporation which faces constant liability payments and which can choose a production/business policy from an available set of control policies with diierent expected proots and risks. The objective is to maximize the expected present value of the total dividend distributions. The main purpose of this paper is to deal with the impact of constraints on business activi...

We revisit the classical problem of optimal payment dividends and determine degree to which diffusion approximation serves as a valid risk model for this p...

In the classical Cramér-Lundberg model in risk theory the problem of maximizing the expected cumulated discounted dividend payments until ruin is a widely discussed topic. In the most general case within that framework it is proved (Gerber (1969), Azcue & Muler (2005), Schmidli (2007)) that the optimal dividend strategy is of band type. In the present paper we discuss this maximization problem ...

effects of dividend policy on corporate financial growth, is a major concern of most entities. whether dividends have an influence on the value of the firm, is an important question in dividend policy. this study aimed at investigating the effects of dividend policy on financial growth of media firms. the study was conducted in nairobi at the nation media group headquarters. respondents were se...

This paper considers the optimal dividend payment problem in piecewise-deterministic compound Poisson risk models. The objective is to maximize the expected discounted dividend payout up to the time of ruin. We provide a comparative study in this general framework of both restricted and unrestricted payment schemes, which were only previously treated separately in certain special cases of risk ...

This paper investigates the optimal dynamic investment for an investor who maximizes constant absolute risk aversion (CARA) utility in a discrete-time market with a riskfree bond and a risky stock. The risky stock is assumed to present both the dividend risk and the price risk. With our assumptions, the dividend risk is equivalent to fundamental risk, and the price risk is equivalent to the noi...

We study the perpetual American call option pricing problem in a model of a financial market in which the firm issuing a risky asset can regulate the dividend rate by switching it between two constant values. The firm dividend policy is unknown for small investors who can only observe the prices available from the market. The asset price dynamics are described by a geometric Brownian motion wit...
