Equilibrium Strategies for Singular Dividend Control Problems under the Mean-Variance Criterion

We revisit the optimal dividend problem of de Finetti by adding a variance term to the usual criterion of maximizing the expected discounted dividends paid until ruin, in a singular control framework. Investors do not like variability in their dividend distribution, and the mean-variance (MV) criter

Optimal Insurance to Maximize Exponential Utility when Premium is Computed by a Convex Functional

We find the optimal indemnity to maximize the expected utility of terminal wealth of a buyer of insurance whose preferences are modeled by an exponential utility. The insurance premium is computed by a convex functional. We obtain a necessary condition for the optimal indemnity; then, because the ca

Equilibrium Mean-Variance Dividend Rate Strategies

This paper studies an optimal dividend problem for a company that aims to maximize the mean-variance (MV) objective of the accumulated discounted dividend payments up to its ruin time. The MV objective involves an integral form over a random horizon that depends endogenously on the company’s dividen
