We investigate optimal strategies for a constant absolute risk aversion (CARA) insurer to manage its business risk through not only equity investment and proportional reinsurance but also trading derivatives of the equity. We obtain the optimal strategies in closed-form and quantify the value of...

This paper proposes a novel and practical approach of addressing optimal reinsurance via an empirical approach. This method formulates reinsurance models using the observed data directly and has advantages including (i) transformation of an infinite dimensional optimization problem to finite...
