Abstract

In this paper, we consider the problem of maximizing the expected discounted utility of dividend payments for an insurance company that controls risk exposure by purchasing proportional reinsurance. We assume the preference of the insurer is of CRRA form. By solving the corresponding Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equation, we identify the value function and the corresponding optimal strategy. We also analyze the asymptotic behavior of the value function for large initial reserves. Finally, we provide some numerical examples to illustrate the results and analyze the sensitivity of the parameters.
