Abstract

Considering the influence of past information on the decision-making of insurers, the correlation between the insurance businesses owned by insurers, and the possible default faced by insurers, we investigate the mean-variance investment and reinsurance problem with the default risk, delay, and common shock dependence. We characterize the insurance market by two-dimensional dependent claims, the financial market by the Heston SV model, and default risk by reduced-form approach and then obtain the evolution equation of the insurer’s wealth. Based on the introduction of time delay, the insurer’s wealth dynamics characterized by a stochastic delay differential equation are obtained. Furthermore, applying stochastic control theory within the game-theoretic framework and stochastic control theory with delay, we derive optimal time-consistent investment and reinsurance strategies, as well as equilibrium value function and equilibrium efficient frontier. Finally, we use a numerical example to analyze the influence of parameters on the time-consistent equilibrium strategies and give an economic explanation.

Highlights

  • Ere are two deficiencies in the abovementioned literature, which are worthy of further discussion

  • Inspired by the above works, considering the influence of past information on the decision-making of insurers, the correlation between the insurance businesses owned by insurers, and the possible default faced by insurers, we investigate mean-variance investment and reinsurance problem with the default risk, delay, and common shock dependence

  • When our model degenerates into a model without considering the default risk, delay, and insurance risk common shock dependence, we can obtain the result of Li et al [14]. e remainder of this paper is organized as follows

Summary

General Formulation

We consider a filtered complete probability space (Ω, F, 􏼈Ft􏼉t∈[0,T], P) satisfying the usual conditions; that is, 􏼈Ft􏼉t∈[0,T] is right continuous and P-complete, where 􏼈Ft􏼉t∈[0,T] is the information of the market available up to time t and [0, T] is a fixed and finite time horizon. Define π(t) (p1(t), p2(t), q1(t), q2(t)) as the investment-reinsurance strategy at time t; the wealth process {Xπ(t)} of the insurer under a strategy π satisfies the following stochastic differential equation: dXπ(t). Suppose that f(t, X(t) − L(t), X(t) − M(t)) denotes the inflow/outflow of capital, the insurer’s wealth process satisfies the following stochastic delay differential equation (SDDE): dXπ(t) 􏼂rXπ(t) + δp1(t)v(t) + p2(t)(1 − Z(t))θ(1 − Δ) + 1 + η1􏼁a􏽰1q 1 ( t ) + 1 + η2􏼁a2q2(t). For the mean-variance problem (18), we assume that there exist two real-valued functions V(t, x, l, v, z) and g(t, x, l, v, z) ∈ C1,2,1,2([0, T] × R × R × R × {0, 1}) satisfying the following extended HJB equations:.
