Abstract

In this paper, by considering the joint interests of the insurer and the reinsurer, we study the optimal reinsurance problem in a risk model with two dependent classes of insurance business. Assume that the reinsurance company adopts the variance premium principle. The surplus processes of the insurance company and the reinsurance company are both governed by the compound Poisson model as well as by the diffusion approximation model. Under the criterion of maximizing the expected utility, we prove the existence and uniqueness of the optimal reinsurance strategies. By solving the corresponding Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations, closed-form expressions for the optimal reinsurance strategies and the value functions are derived for the two models. Moreover, we also present numerical examples and analysis.
