We consider in this paper a general two-sided jump-diffusion risk model that allows for risky investments as well as for correlation between the two Brownian motions driving insurance risk and investment return. We first introduce the model and then find the integro-differential equations...

In this paper we consider a modified version of the classical optimal dividend problem taking into account both expected dividends and the time value of ruin. We assume that the risk process is modeled by a general spectrally positive Lévy process before dividends are deducted. Using the...

Let Xt be a standard d-dimensional Brownian motion with drift c started at a fixed X0, and let T be the hitting time for a sphere or concentric spherical shell. By using an appropriate martingale, a Laplace-Gegenbauer transform of the joint distribution of T and XT is determined.

In this paper, we consider the dividend payments in a compound Poisson risk model with credit and debit interests under absolute ruin. We first obtain the integro-differential equations satisfied by the moment generating function and moments of the discounted aggregate dividend payments....
