Exploratory Mean-Variance with Jumps: An Equilibrium Approach

Revisiting the continuous-time Mean-Variance (MV) Portfolio Optimization problem, we model the market dynamics with a jump-diffusion process and apply Reinforcement Learning (RL) techniques to facilitate informed exploration within the control space. We recognize the time-inconsistency of the MV pro

Optimal Insurance Menu Design under the Expected-Value Premium Principle

This paper studies optimal insurance design under asymmetric information in a Stackelberg framework, where a monopolistic insurer faces uncertainty about both the insured’s risk attitude, captured by a risk-aversion parameter, and the insured’s risk type, characterized by the loss distribution. In p

Stackelberg Equilibria in Monopoly Insurance Markets with Probability Weighting

We study Stackelberg Equilibria (Bowley optima) in a monopolistic centralized sequential-move insurance market, with a profit-maximizing insurer who sets premia using a distortion premium principle, and a single policyholder who seeks to minimize a distortion risk measure. We show that equilibria ar
