U(t) = u ct + S(t), t 0 Accumulated reserve up to time t : U(t) u : initial reserve, surplus; Individual random gains: X i _ P(x), E[X i ] = p 1 ; Accumulated gains up to t : S(t) = N (t) i=0 X i, X 0 0. fx i g, i.i.d. fx i g independent of N(t); fs(t), t 0g :compound Poisson process, parameters λ and p.d.f. p(x); c : constant rate of expenses, µ = E [S(1)] c = λp 1 c > 0, λp 1 > c. b u: (Upper) dividend barrier (absorbing); Ruin barrier (absorbing).

5 Problem: Dividend calculation We have 2 absorbing barriers: Dividend barrier b and Ruin level 0. A dividend can be paid if the process is not ruined. b is xed. Once reached a dividend is paid and process re-starts, from b. If the process is ruined, the investment is insolvent. Let δ (> 0) be the force of interest. Problem: Calculate the discounted future dividends, e.g., Expected. Dividends can be multiple. There are results on expected, moments of discounted dividends: Avanzi et al. (2007), Cheung & Drekic (2008), Ng (2009, 2010) We go further, with a new approach: connection the classical and the dual LRA (FCT, UNL & ISEG, UTL) Dividends Dual Risk Model ASTIN 2011 Madrid 5 / 26
6 Solutions for the dividend calculation Probability of ruin, with no dividend barrier: known. Setting a dividend barrier, we evaluate: Expected discounted future dividend payments: known, but new approach; higher moments also available; The probability of getting a dividend payment; Distribution for the amount of a dividend payment; Distribution for the number of dividends (in nite time).

7 De nitions Let, process free of the barrier, and continue if it is ruined: Time to ruin, from initial surplus x: τ x = inf ft > 0 : U(t) = 0jU(0) = xg ; (τ x = if U(t) 0 8t 0) Probability of ultimate ruin ψ(x) = Pr fτ x < ju(0) = xg = e Ru where R > 0: λ R 0 e Rx p(x)dx 1 = cr. Time to reach an upper level b x 0, from x: T x = inf ft > 0 : U(t) > bju(0) = xg Probability of ruin before reaching b: ξ(u, b) = Pr (T x > τ x ). Probability of reaching b before ruin: χ(u, b) = Pr (T x < τ x ) Single dividend amount: D u = fu(t u ) b ^ T u < τ u g. D.f.: G (u, b; x) = Pr(T u < τ u and U(T u ) b + x)ju, b) M: number of dividends to be distributed. LRA (FCT, UNL & ISEG, UTL) Dividends Dual Risk Model ASTIN 2011 Madrid 7 / 26

9 Expected discounted dividends V (u; b) = E[D(u, b, δ)] From Avanzi et al.(2007), solutions from solving, 0 = cv 0 (u; b) + (λ + δ)v (u; b) λ λ Z b u Z b 0 u V (u + y, b)p(y)dy (1) V (u b + y, b)p(y)dy λv (b, b) [1 P(b u)] Also, Laplace transforms from there; Instead, we propose solving V (u; b) = E[D(u, b, δ)] = E " i=1 e δ( i j=1 T (j)) D(i) # n o T (i), D (i), sequence of i.i.d. random pairs. i=2 d= T (i), D (i) (Tb, D b ) d= Independent of T (1), D (1). Let T (1), D (1) (Tu, D u ). LRA (FCT, UNL & ISEG, UTL) Dividends Dual Risk Model ASTIN 2011 Madrid 9 / 26

Now, (T b, D b ) = d, i = 2, 3,...; (T u, D u ) = T d (1), D (1), V (u; b) = E e δt u D u + E e δt u E e δt b D b E e δt b + E e δt b +... = E e δt u D u + E e δt u E e δt b D b 1 E (e δt. b ) LRA (FCT, UNL & ISEG, UTL) Dividends Dual Risk Model ASTIN 2011 Madrid 10 / 26

Adapt from the classical severity, Dickson & Waters (2004), φ n (u, b, δ) = E[e δt u D n u ], n = 0, 1, 2,..., u = b u d du φ n (u, b, δ) = λ+δ c φ n (u R λ u, b, δ) c φ 0 n (u y, b, δ)p(y)dy R λ c (y u u ) n p(y)dy.

16 Single dividend amount distribution Rearranging and di erentiating. λg (u, b; x) + c u G (u, b; x) = λ Z b u p(y Boundary condition G (0, b; x) = 0. Similarly, λg(u, b; x) + c g(u, b; x) = u = λ Z b 0 u u)g (y, b; x) dy +λ [P(b u + x) P(b u)]. p(y)g(u + y, b; x) dy + λp(b u + x). Let G(z, b; x) = G (b z, b; x).

18 Using the Classical Model Consider the process continuing even if ruin occurs. The process can cross the upper dividend level before or after ruin. De nition (proper) Distribution of the amount by which the process rst upcrosses b, H(u, b; x) = Pr [U(T u ) b + x] H(u, b; x) = H(u, b; xjt u < τ u )χ(u, b) + H(u, b; xjt u > τ u )ξ(u, b) = G (u, b; x) + ξ(u, b)h(0, b; x). Equation above simply means that H(u, b; x) equals the probability of a dividend claim less or equal than x plus the probability of a similar amount but that cannot be a dividend LRA (FCT, UNL & ISEG, UTL) Dividends Dual Risk Model ASTIN 2011 Madrid 18 / 26
19 Using the Classical Model Compute now H(u, b; x), through expressions of the severity of ruin from the classical model G (b u; x) = G (u, b; x) + ξ(u, b)g (b; x) G (u, b; x) = G (b u; x) ξ(u, b)g (b; x) For u = b, G (b, b; x) = G (0; x) ξ(b, b)g (b; x) g(b, b; x) = g (0; x) ξ(b, b)g (b; x) Calculate Laplace transforms at R and (5) 1 g ξ(b, b) = (0; R) e Rb 1 g (b; R)e Rb with g (0; x) = p1 1 [1 R P(x)] and g (0; R) = 1 Rp e Rx p(x)dx = c/λp 1.

20 Number of dividend payments De nition Let M : number of dividends to be claimed, or the number of times the process upcrosses the upper level b. M follows a zero-modi ed geometric distribution Pr[M = 0] = ξ(u, b) Pr[M = k] = χ(u, b)χ(b, b) k 1 ξ(b, b), k = 1, 2,... Hence, the total amount of dividend payments (not discounted) follows a zero modi ed compound distribution. LRA (FCT, UNL & ISEG, UTL) Dividends Dual Risk Model ASTIN 2011 Madrid 20 / 26
