Optimal dividends and reinsurance with capital injection under thinning dependence. (English) Zbl 07565516

Commun. Stat., Theory Methods 51, No. 16, 5728-5749 (2022).
Summary: In this paper, we adopt the variance premium principle to investigate the problem of optimal dividends and reinsurance in a diffusion approximation risk model with thinning-dependence structure. We first study the optimal problem without capital injection. We then consider the incorporation of forced capital injection into the model whenever the reserve level drops below zero. We finally turn to the general problem in which capital injection is allowed but not compulsory. For the three optimal problems, we apply the technique of stochastic control theory to obtain closed-form expressions for the optimal strategies and the corresponding value functions for two classes of insurance business with thinning dependence. Under the assumption of non cheap reinsurance, we obtain results that are quite different from those in the case of cheap reinsurance for both bounded and unbounded dividend rates. Furthermore some numerical examples are presented to show the effect of parameter values on the optimal policies.
