Strategies for dividend distribution: A review

B Avanzi - North American Actuarial Journal, 2009 - Taylor & Francis
In today's world of financial uncertainty, one major public concern is to assess (and possibly
improve) the stability of companies that take on risks. Actuaries have been aware of that …

The Gerber-Shiu discounted penalty function: A review from practical perspectives

Y He, R Kawai, Y Shimizu, K Yamazaki - Insurance: Mathematics and …, 2023 - Elsevier
Abstract The Gerber-Shiu function provides a unified framework for the evaluation of a
variety of risk quantities. Ever since its establishment, it has attracted constantly increasing …

The distribution of the dividend payments in the compound Poisson risk model perturbed by diffusion

S Li - Scandinavian Actuarial Journal, 2006 - Taylor & Francis
We consider a diffusion perturbed classical compound Poisson risk model in the presence of
a constant dividend barrier. An integro-differential equation with certain boundary conditions …

On a generalization of the Gerber–Shiu function to path-dependent penalties

E Biffis, M Morales - Insurance: Mathematics and Economics, 2010 - Elsevier
The Expected Discounted Penalty Function (EDPF) was introduced in a series of now
classical papers (Gerber and Shiu, 1997, 1998a, b). Motivated by applications in option …

On a perturbed compound Poisson risk model under a periodic threshold-type dividend strategy.

X Peng, W Su, Z Zhang - Journal of Industrial & Management …, 2020 - search.ebscohost.com
In this paper, we model the insurance company's surplus flow by a perturbed compound
Poisson model. Suppose that at a sequence of random time points, the insurance company …

[HTML][HTML] The perturbed compound Poisson risk model with two-sided jumps

Z Zhang, H Yang, S Li - Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics, 2010 - Elsevier
In this paper, we consider a perturbed compound Poisson risk model with two-sided jumps.
The downward jumps represent the claims following an arbitrary distribution, while the …

The Gerber–Shiu function in a Sparre Andersen risk process perturbed by diffusion

S Li, J Garrido* - Scandinavian Actuarial Journal, 2005 - Taylor & Francis
We consider a Sparre Andersen risk process that is perturbed by an independent diffusion
process, in which claim inter-arrival times have a generalized Erlang (n) distribution (ie as …

Estimating Gerber–Shiu functions from discretely observed Lévy driven surplus

Y Shimizu, Z Zhang - Insurance: Mathematics and Economics, 2017 - Elsevier
Consider an insurance surplus process driven by a Lévy subordinator, which is observed at
discrete time points. An estimator of the Gerber–Shiu function is proposed via the empirical …

New research directions in modern actuarial sciences

E Bulinskaya - Modern Problems of Stochastic Analysis and Statistics …, 2017 - Springer
The aim of the paper is to outline the new trends in modern actuarial sciences in order to
help the researchers to find new domains of activity and university professors teaching future …

The time of ruin, the surplus prior to ruin and the deficit at ruin for the classical risk process perturbed by diffusion

SN Chiu, CC Yin - Insurance: Mathematics and Economics, 2003 - Elsevier
The paper studies the joint distribution of the time of ruin, the surplus prior to ruin and the
deficit at ruin for the classical risk process that is perturbed by diffusion. We prove that the …
