problem of the insurance company is obtained in each of thetwo stochastic interest rate models namely the HondashLeemodel and the Vasicek model )e verification theorems forthe HJB solutions to the optimal investment and reinsuranceproblem for the two stochastic interest rate models areprovided Numerical results based on hypothetical parametervalues are presented to illustrate the impacts of the twodifferent stochastic interest rate modeling assumptions onoptimal decision making of the insurer In what follows abrief review on some relevant literature and the motivation ofthis study are provided

)e optimal investment-reinsurance problem is one ofthe classic research topics in actuarial and insurancemathematics It aims to provide a theoretical basis for ra-tional decision making of insurers on investments in a se-curity market and transferring insurance risks toreinsurance companies )e rational decisions of the in-surers are made by optimizing certain objective criteria suchas utility function )is is related to the utility maximizationproblem in neoclassical economics as well as financialeconomics )e solution of the optimization problem is byits nature normative though results of positive nature mayoccasionally obtain In financial economics a ldquoformalrdquo studyof an optimal investment problem may be tracked back tothe pioneering work by Markowitz [1] where the scientificfoundation of the problem was enacted by making use ofmathematics Specifically the problem was formulatedmathematically as an optimization problem in a static one-period model where only the expected return of a portfolioand the risk of the portfolio measured by the variance of itsreturn were relevant More realistic situations such ascontinuous-time situations were considered in the secondstage of developments pioneered by the seminal articles byMerton [2 3] In particular the continuous-time optimalasset allocation model by Merton [2 3] brought the his-torical developments of the field in a new era and stimulatedthe development of continuous-time finance (see for ex-ample Siu [4] for related discussion) Since the seminalworks by Merton [2 3] there have been many significantdevelopments in continuous-time optimal asset allocationmodels and a large volume of literature on the field It doesnot seem to be easy to list all of them here but some of themare mentioned without slighting the other literature Onemay refer to the monographs by Merton [5] Ralf [6]Karatzas and Shreve [7] Elliott and Kopp [8] and therelevant literature therein for more detailed exposition onthe developments of the literature in the field Davis andNorman [9] investigated an optimal consumption and in-vestment decision for an investor who invests in a simplifiedsecurity market with a bank account and a stock Fur-thermore the authors took fixed percentage transactioncosts into consideration A life-cycle model of consumptionand portfolio was considered by Cocco et al [10] Kraft [11]studied an optimal portfolio selection problem with Hes-tonrsquos stochastic volatility

Long-term strategic asset allocation is one of the im-portant areas in optimal asset allocation It sheds light onoptimal investment decision making in financial planninginsurance and pension funds Intuitively factors such as

inflation interest rate investment cycle and economic cyclewhich seem to be relevant to long-term investment decisionmaking may be taken into account when discussing long-term strategic asset allocation )e monograph by Campbelland Viceira [12] provides an excellent account of long-termstrategic asset allocation where the problem was rigorouslytreated in discrete time modeling frameworks)ere is also aconsiderable amount of finance and insurance literature onlong-term strategic asset allocation Again some literaturestudies particularly those relating to incorporation of in-flation and interest rate are mentioned here Inflation has asignificant impact on long-term investment decision mak-ing Indeed inflation was used as the main driver of in-vestment return series in long run in one of the majormodels in actuarial science namely the Wilkie stochasticinvestment model developed by Wilkie [13] A key featureof inflation namely mean reversion was described by anautoregressive time series model (in discrete time) in theWilkie stochastic investmentmodel (see for example Siu [4]for related discussion) Pearson and Sun [14] described theinflation risk by a mean-reverting square-root process whilein Munk et al [15] and Brennan and Xia [16] the inflationprocess is modeled by an OrnsteinndashUhlenbeck process Siu[4] discussed a long-term strategic asset allocation problemin continuous time by incorporating inflation and regimeswitching Korn et al [17] and Siu [18] considered an op-timal asset allocation of pension funds in the presence ofboth the inflation and regime switching risks using amartingale approach and a backward stochastic differentialequation approach respectively See also the relevant lit-erature in the papers by Siu [4] Korn et al [17] and Siu [18]for some works on optimal asset allocation in the presence ofinflation Apart from inflation risk the interest risk is an-other important factor that we have to face Korn and Kraft[19] studied the portfolio problems with stochastic interestrates In Li and Wu [20] stochastic interest rate is given bythe CoxndashIngersollndashRoss (CIR) model and the volatility of thestock is also a CIR process Kraft [21] considered all commonshort rate models and stochastic discount Shen and Siu [22]investigated an optimal asset allocation problem in thepresence of both stochastic interest rate and regimeswitching effect where a regime-switching version of theVasicek model was used to describe stochastic interest rate

)ere has been a large amount of work on optimalinvestment of an insurance company Some of the literaturestudies are for example Wang et al [23] Zeng [24] Luoet al [25] Elliott and Siu [26] Liang et al [27] Elliott and Siu[28] and Siu [29] For an insurance company it is natural toadopt a prudent investment strategy that is they should notonly diversify risk by investing their money into differentassets but also should avoid the risk brought from thecompanyrsquos relatively long investment cycle Over a longperiod of time accumulated inflation can lead to hugeshrinkage of the wealth What is more relevant here is acombined optimal investment and reinsurance problem ofan insurer Some of the literature is also mentioned here Baiand Zhang [30] considered an optimal investment-re-insurance problem for an insurer under the mean-variancecriterion Zhang and Siu [31] incorporated model

uncertainty or ambiguity in an optimal investment-re-insurance problem by adopting a robust approach Zhangand Siu [32] discussed an optimal proportional reinsuranceand investment problem using the criterion of maximizingutility function on terminal wealth Zhang et al [33] con-sidered a Bayesian approach to incorporate parameter un-certainty in an optimal reinsurance and investment problemunder a diffusionmodel for the surplus process of an insurerLiu et al [34] considered an optimal insurance-reinsuranceproblem in the presence of dynamic risk constraint andregime switching

As we know both the stochastic interest rates and in-flation cannot be ignored for decision makers when dealingwith long-term decision problems )erefore the in-corporation of both stochastic interest rate and inflationmakes our problems more practicable for the long-termdecisionmaking and this is the first contribution of our paper)e second contribution of our paper is that we establish averification theorem for the solution using an approach whichis not the same as the usual approach adopted for proving averification theorem In fact unlike previous literaturestudies the usual standard technical conditions required bythe verification theorem for the solution of the optimal in-vestment-reinsurance problem such as the Lipschitz condi-tion and the linear growth condition are not satisfied by themodel considered which makes the proof of the verificationtheorem to be a challenging thing

)e rest of this paper is organized as follows Section 2presents the model dynamics and assumptions in theeconomy finance and insurance markets )e optimizationproblem of the insurer is formulated in Section 3 Fur-thermore the closed-form solutions to the problem underthe two stochastic interest rate models are derived by in-voking the use of the HJB dynamic programming approachIn Section 4 the verification theorem for the solutions of theproblem under the two models is established Numericalcomparison and analysis are presented in Section 5)e finalsection gives some concluding remarks )e proofs of someresults are placed in an Appendix A

2 Model Dynamics and Assumptions

To begin with as usual we describe uncertainties in thecontinuous-time economy finance and insurance marketsas well as their information flows by a complete filteredprobability space (ΩF F p) where F Ft1113864 1113865tisin[0T] is rightcontinuous p is the complete filtration and p is a real-world probability For simplicity it is supposed that thefiltration is ldquosufficiently largerdquo so that all of the processes tobe defined below are F-adapted

21 Price Index )e key economic variable we are intendingto model is inflation )is is relevant to the optimal re-insurance and investment problem of an insurer since thedecision making horizon of an insurer is usually long say adecade or more and inflation is a key economic factor whichcould lead to diminution of financial wealth of the insurerInflation can be measured by an inflation rate which may be

proxied by the annualized percentage change in a price indexExamples of a price index are consumer price indices andretail price indices Incorporating inflation in studying op-timal asset allocation problem has been considered in theliterature Some examples are Munk et al [15] Pearson andSun [14] Brennan and Xia [16] Douglas [35] George [36]and Fama and Gibbons [37] It is usually assumed that a priceindex which is used to proxy an inflation rate is modeled by astochastic process Here as in Munk et al [15] and Yao et al[38] it is supposed that the evolution of the nominal priceindex of a consumption good in an economy over time isgoverned by the following geometric Brownian motion withstochastic drift

dΠ(t) Π(t) I(t)dt + σ0(t)dW0(t)1113858 1113859

for all t isin [0 T] Π(0) Π0(1)

where W0(t)1113864 1113865tisin[0T] is a standard Brownian motion σ0(t) isthe volatility of the price index and the stochastic drift I(t)

represents the instantaneous expected inflation rate whoseevolution over time is assumed to be governed by the fol-lowing time-dependent OrnsteinndashUhlenbeck (OU) process

dI(t) β(t)[α(t) minus I(t)]dt + σ0(t)dW0(t) (2)

Here α(t) describes the long-run mean of the expectedinflation rate β(t) represents the degree of mean-reversionand σ0(t) is the volatility of the expected inflation rateConsequently the mean-reverting property of the expectedinflation rate is incorporated in themodel considered here Tosimplify our discussion it is assumed that σ0(t) α(t) β(t)and σ0(t) are deterministic and continuous functions of timet isin [0 T] However we adopt here a time-dependent OUprocess rather than the one in Munk et al [15] and Yao et al[38]

22 Financial Market Assume that the financial marketconsidered here consists of three assets one savings accountone stock and one zero-coupon bond with maturity T1 gtT

Let B(t) tisin[0T] denote the price process of the savingsaccount Assume that the evolution of B(t) tisin[0T] over timeis determined by

dB(t) r(t)B(t)dt B(0) 1 (3)

Here r(t) is the short-term interest rate or the spot ratewhose evolution over time is governed by the followingstochastic differential equation

dr(t) a(t)dt + bdW1(t) t isin 0 T11113858 1113859 r(0) r0 (4)

where b is a positive constant and W1(t)1113864 1113865tisin[0T] is a standardBrownian motion Following some explicit examples inKorn and Kraft [19] the HondashLee model and the Vasicekmodel are considered here where a(t) is respectively givenby a(t) 1113957a(t) + bξ(t) and a(t) θ(t) minus 1113954br(t) + bξ(t) Herethe risk premium ξ(t) and parameter θ(t) are assumed to bedeterministic and continuous functions of time t isin [0 T]

Let P(t T1) denote the price process of a zero-couponbond with maturity T1 gtT )en from Korn and Kraft [19]P(t T1) satisfies the following stochastic differentialequation

Mathematical Problems in Engineering 3

dP t T1( 1113857 P t T1( 1113857 r(t) + ξ(t)σ1(t)1113858 1113859dt + σ1(t)dW1(t)1113864 1113865

P 0 T1( 1113857 P0 gt 0

(5)

where r(t) is given by (4) In what follows we shall writeP(t) for P(t T1) to ease the notation As shown in Korn andKraft [19] the volatilities of the zero-coupon bond under theHondashLee model and Vasicek model are given byσ(t) minus b(T1 minus t) and σ(t) (b1113954b)[exp minus 1113954b(T1 minus t)1113966 1113967 minus 1]respectively

Furthermore it is supposed that the stock price processS(t) tisin[0T] evolves over time according to the followinggeometric Brownian motion

dS(t) S(t) μ(t)dt + σ2(t)dW2(t)1113858 1113859 S(0) S0 (6)

where W2(t)1113864 1113865tisin[0T] is a standard Brownian motion andσ2(t) is the volatility of the stock at time t where it is as-sumed that σ2(t) is a deterministic and continuous functionof time t As in Korn and Kraft [19] we decompose theappreciation rate μ(t) of the stock into the sum of a liquiditypremium (LP) and a risk premium (RP)

μ(t) r(t)1113980radic11139791113978radic1113981r(t)

+ μ(t) minus r(t)1113980radicradicradicradic11139791113978radicradicradicradic1113981

Let 1113957λ(t) denote the risk premium of the stock ie1113957λ(t) ≔ μ(t) minus r(t) Consequently the price process of thestock can be rewritten as

dS(t) S(t) [r(t) + 1113957λ(t)]dt + σ2(t)dW2(t)1113966 1113967 (8)

23 Surplus Process Let 1113957R(t) be the surplus of an insurancecompany at time t isin [0 T] Since optimal long-term in-vestment and reinsurance decision making of the insurancecompany are considered it is relevant to incorporate theimpact of inflation on the surplus of the insurance companyConsequently it is supposed here that the increment of thesurplus of the company depends on the price index de-scribed in Section 21 Specifically without loss of generalityit is assumed that the surplus process of the company1113957R(t)1113864 1113865tisin[0T] evolves over time according to a diffusion ap-proximation model with the impact of the price index beingincorporated as follows

d1113957R(t) Π(t)c(t)dt + Π(t)σ3(t)dW3(t) (9)

where W3(t)1113864 1113865tisin[0T] is a standard Brownian motion and c(t)

and σ3(t) are deterministic and continuous function of timet isin [0 T] with c(t)gt 0 Note that c(t) and σ3(t) may berespectively interpreted as the real premium rate of theinsurer and the risk attributed to uncertainty about futureinsurance liabilities See for example Jan [39] Zeng and Li[40] Hoslashjgaard and Taksar [41] and Michael and Markussen[42] for more details about diffusion approximation modelsto surplus processes of insurance companies

Remark 1 Note that d1113957R(t) denotes the instantaneous in-crement that incorporates the impact of price indexEquation (9) indicates that the instantaneous increment

changes in the surplus depends on the price index Π(t) Inother words the real instantaneous increment change isgiven by c(t)dt + σ(t)dW3(t)

Let u(t) be the proportional reinsurance retention leveladopted by the insurance company at time t whereu(t) isin [0infin) Assume for simplicity that the safety load-ings of the insurance company and the reinsurance companyare the same Consequently the surplus process of insurancecompany R(t) tisin[0T] after acquiring the proportional re-insurance is given by

dR(t) Π(t)u(t)c(t)dt + Π(t)u(t)σ3(t)dW3(t) (10)

Lastly we assume that the stochastic interest rate thebond price the price index and the expected inflation ratecould be correlated Without loss of generality we supposeCov(W1(t) W0(t)) ρt ρ isin (minus 1 1) Also assume thatW2(t)1113864 1113865tisin[0T] and W3(t)1113864 1113865tisin[0T] are independent Brownianmotions which are independent of W1(t)1113864 1113865tisin[0T] andW0(t)1113864 1113865tisin[0T] If we suppose the interest rate or the priceindex is correlated with the stock there will be an additionalmixed partial derivative term in HJB equation but it will notaffect the method used in the remainder of the paper

24 Wealth Process Suppose that the insurer is allowed tocontinuously purchase proportional reinsurance and investsall of his (or her) wealth in the financial market over the time[0 T] with TltT1 )is assumption is an idealisation in thecontinuous-time modeling set up here In practice an in-surer may only be able to acquire reinsurance treaties indiscrete time periods and there are frictional or transactioncosts when the insurer invests in the security market

Let π1(t) and π2(t) be the proportions of the total wealthinvested in the bond and stock at time t respectivelySuppose u(t) denotes the proportional reinsurance re-tention level at time t Accordingly 1 minus π1(t) minus π2(t) is theproportion of the total wealth invested in the saving accountIf we denote by 1113957X(t) the wealth of the insurer at time t afteradopting the reinsurance and investment then we have

In Section 23 the nominal price index of the con-sumption good in the economy at time t is denoted by Π(t)

)e real price of an asset in the economy over a long time isdetermined by deflating its nominal value with the priceindex Π(t) )e real wealth of the insurer which adjusts forthe impact of inflation is given by X(t) 1113957X(t)Π(t) )enapplying the Ito formula (see for example Karatzas andShreve [43]) gives

dX(t) X(t) r(t) + σ20(t) minus I(t) + ξ(t)σ1(t)(11139601113966

(12)

and the initial value X(0) ( 1113957X(0)Π(0)) X0In what follows we take η(t) ξ(t) minus ρσ0(t) With a

slight abuse of the notation we use λ(t) to denote 1113957λ(t)σ2(t)Consequently we can rewrite the wealth process as

dX(t) 1113882X(t)1113876r(t) + σ20(t) minus I(t) + σ1(t)η(t)π1(t)

+ λ(t)σ2(t)π2(t)1113877 + u(t)c(t)1113883dt

+ u(t)σ3(t)dW3(t) + X(t)π1(t)σ1(t)dW1(t)

+ X(t)π2(t)σ2(t)dW2(t) minus X(t)σ0(t)dW0(t)

(13)

with X(0) X0Next we give the definition of an admissible control

Definition 1 A strategy 1113957π(t) (π1(t) π2(t) u(t)) is said tobe admissible if (1) π1(t) π2(t) and u(t) are progressively

measurable processes (2) π1(t) and π2(t) are bounded (3)u(t)ge 0 (4) 1113957π(t) leads to a positive wealth process Wedenote Θ by the set of all admissible controls

3 Maximizing the Expected Power Utility

In this section we first present the optimal investment andreinsurance problem of an insurer as an utility maximizationproblem where the insurer aims to select an investment-reinsurance mix to maximize the expected power utility onterminal wealth )en using the standard dynamic pro-gramming approach (see for example Wendell [44] andFleming and Soner [45]) we derive the HamiltonndashJacobindashBellman (HJB) equation governing the value function of theutility maximization problem

Suppose that the insurerrsquos preference is described by anon-log hyperbolic absolute risk aversion (HARA) utilityfunction U(x) (1p)xp 0ltplt 1 xgt 0 and that the in-surer wishes to maximize the expected utility of terminalwealth at time T For any strategy 1113957π isin Θ the expected powerutility of the insurer at time T denoted by Vπ1113957(t x r I) isgiven by

4 Verification Theorem

A verification theorem for the solution to HJB (18) derived inthe previous section is presented for the two stochasticinterest rate models )e verification theorem states that thesolution of HJB (18) is the value of the optimal controlproblem of the insurer and the candidate optimal control isan optimal control

Due to the presence of r(t)X(t) and I(t)X(t) in thewealth process of (13) the usual verification theorem whichrequires Lipschitz and linear growth conditions is not ap-plicable in our situation Inspired by the methods used byKraft [11] Li and Wu [20] and Kraft [21] we need to someuniform integrability of G(τn Xlowastτn

Xlowastt1113864 1113865 is the optimal wealth process and τn1113864 1113865nisinN is a sequenceof stopping times which is bounded above by T

)emain idea of proving the above lemma is from Kraft[11] Li andWu [20] and Kraft [21] but there still exist somedetails different from these references)erefore we providethe proof in the appendix for the sake of completeness Basedon the uniform integrability property we can prove theverification theorem

Theorem 1 (verification theorem for two models)

5 Numerical Analysis

In this section we shall present numerical analysis for theoptimal strategies under the two stochastic interest ratemodels For simplicity we assume the parameters areconstant over time interval t isin [0 T] Furthermore we takesome hypothetical values T 80 T1 120 η 00606b 005 ρ minus 006 and β 002 σ0 001 and σ0 0026

)e parameter p 0ltplt 1 in the utility functionrepresents the degree of risk aversion For example themore risk averse the investor is the larger the parameteris Figures 1 and 2 depict the changes in the proportion ofthe wealth invested in the bond for insurers having dif-ferent attitudes toward risk say different values of theparameter of p From Figures 1 and 2 it can be seen thatunder each of the two stochastic interest models say theHondashLee model and the Vasicek model the insurergradually increases the optimal proportion invested in

bond as time passes by On the other hand the two figuresreveal that an investor who is more risk averse will investless amount of money in the bond than the one who is lessrisk averse

Figure 3 provides a comparison for the optimal policiesof the insurer under the HondashLee model and the Vasicekmodel In this case we choose p 05 which represents acertain degree of risk aversion of the insurer From thisfigure it can be seen that if the HondashLee model is used todescribe the stochastic interest rate more money is investedin the bond than when the stochastic interest rate is modeledby the Vasicek model )e main feature that is described bythe Vasicek model is that the interest rate will revert to acertain long-run mean level Consequently the numericalresults reveal that the mean-reverting property of the

stochastic interest rate may lead to a reduction in the optimalamount of money invested in the bond by the insurer

6 Conclusion

)e contribution of the present paper rests on the in-corporation of both stochastic interest rate and inflation onlong-term decision making of an insurance companySpecifically the HondashLee model and the Vasicek model areemployed to describe the stochastic interest rate A chal-lenging aspect of the problem is that certain standardtechnical conditions such as the Lipschitz condition and thelinear growth condition which are required in a verificationtheorem for the solution of the optimal investment-re-insurance problem are not satisfied by the model consid-ered Here we establish a verification theorem for thesolution using an approach which is not the same as theusual approach adopted for proving a verification theoremFurthermore a closed-form solution to the optimal re-insurance-investment problem is obtained for each of thetwo stochastic interest rate models )is may make theimplementation of the optimal solutions easier To shed lighton understanding some implications of the optimal solu-tions numerical analysis and comparison for the optimalsolutions are provided to illustrate the impacts of the twodifferent stochastic interest rate modeling assumptions saythe HondashLee model and the Vasicek model on the optimaldecision making of the insurer It is found that the presenceof mean-reverting effect in the stochastic interest rate de-scribed by the Vasicek model reduces the optimal amount ofmoney the insurer should invest in the bond Inspired by Buiet al [46] and Wang et al [47] we will study our problemunder the game frameworks or more complex hybrid sto-chastic systems in the future

problem of the insurance company is obtained in each of thetwo stochastic interest rate models namely the HondashLeemodel and the Vasicek model )e verification theorems forthe HJB solutions to the optimal investment and reinsuranceproblem for the two stochastic interest rate models areprovided Numerical results based on hypothetical parametervalues are presented to illustrate the impacts of the twodifferent stochastic interest rate modeling assumptions onoptimal decision making of the insurer In what follows abrief review on some relevant literature and the motivation ofthis study are provided

)e optimal investment-reinsurance problem is one ofthe classic research topics in actuarial and insurancemathematics It aims to provide a theoretical basis for ra-tional decision making of insurers on investments in a se-curity market and transferring insurance risks toreinsurance companies )e rational decisions of the in-surers are made by optimizing certain objective criteria suchas utility function )is is related to the utility maximizationproblem in neoclassical economics as well as financialeconomics )e solution of the optimization problem is byits nature normative though results of positive nature mayoccasionally obtain In financial economics a ldquoformalrdquo studyof an optimal investment problem may be tracked back tothe pioneering work by Markowitz [1] where the scientificfoundation of the problem was enacted by making use ofmathematics Specifically the problem was formulatedmathematically as an optimization problem in a static one-period model where only the expected return of a portfolioand the risk of the portfolio measured by the variance of itsreturn were relevant More realistic situations such ascontinuous-time situations were considered in the secondstage of developments pioneered by the seminal articles byMerton [2 3] In particular the continuous-time optimalasset allocation model by Merton [2 3] brought the his-torical developments of the field in a new era and stimulatedthe development of continuous-time finance (see for ex-ample Siu [4] for related discussion) Since the seminalworks by Merton [2 3] there have been many significantdevelopments in continuous-time optimal asset allocationmodels and a large volume of literature on the field It doesnot seem to be easy to list all of them here but some of themare mentioned without slighting the other literature Onemay refer to the monographs by Merton [5] Ralf [6]Karatzas and Shreve [7] Elliott and Kopp [8] and therelevant literature therein for more detailed exposition onthe developments of the literature in the field Davis andNorman [9] investigated an optimal consumption and in-vestment decision for an investor who invests in a simplifiedsecurity market with a bank account and a stock Fur-thermore the authors took fixed percentage transactioncosts into consideration A life-cycle model of consumptionand portfolio was considered by Cocco et al [10] Kraft [11]studied an optimal portfolio selection problem with Hes-tonrsquos stochastic volatility

inflation interest rate investment cycle and economic cyclewhich seem to be relevant to long-term investment decisionmaking may be taken into account when discussing long-term strategic asset allocation )e monograph by Campbelland Viceira [12] provides an excellent account of long-termstrategic asset allocation where the problem was rigorouslytreated in discrete time modeling frameworks)ere is also aconsiderable amount of finance and insurance literature onlong-term strategic asset allocation Again some literaturestudies particularly those relating to incorporation of in-flation and interest rate are mentioned here Inflation has asignificant impact on long-term investment decision mak-ing Indeed inflation was used as the main driver of in-vestment return series in long run in one of the majormodels in actuarial science namely the Wilkie stochasticinvestment model developed by Wilkie [13] A key featureof inflation namely mean reversion was described by anautoregressive time series model (in discrete time) in theWilkie stochastic investmentmodel (see for example Siu [4]for related discussion) Pearson and Sun [14] described theinflation risk by a mean-reverting square-root process whilein Munk et al [15] and Brennan and Xia [16] the inflationprocess is modeled by an OrnsteinndashUhlenbeck process Siu[4] discussed a long-term strategic asset allocation problemin continuous time by incorporating inflation and regimeswitching Korn et al [17] and Siu [18] considered an op-timal asset allocation of pension funds in the presence ofboth the inflation and regime switching risks using amartingale approach and a backward stochastic differentialequation approach respectively See also the relevant lit-erature in the papers by Siu [4] Korn et al [17] and Siu [18]for some works on optimal asset allocation in the presence ofinflation Apart from inflation risk the interest risk is an-other important factor that we have to face Korn and Kraft[19] studied the portfolio problems with stochastic interestrates In Li and Wu [20] stochastic interest rate is given bythe CoxndashIngersollndashRoss (CIR) model and the volatility of thestock is also a CIR process Kraft [21] considered all commonshort rate models and stochastic discount Shen and Siu [22]investigated an optimal asset allocation problem in thepresence of both stochastic interest rate and regimeswitching effect where a regime-switching version of theVasicek model was used to describe stochastic interest rate

)ere has been a large amount of work on optimalinvestment of an insurance company Some of the literaturestudies are for example Wang et al [23] Zeng [24] Luoet al [25] Elliott and Siu [26] Liang et al [27] Elliott and Siu[28] and Siu [29] For an insurance company it is natural toadopt a prudent investment strategy that is they should notonly diversify risk by investing their money into differentassets but also should avoid the risk brought from thecompanyrsquos relatively long investment cycle Over a longperiod of time accumulated inflation can lead to hugeshrinkage of the wealth What is more relevant here is acombined optimal investment and reinsurance problem ofan insurer Some of the literature is also mentioned here Baiand Zhang [30] considered an optimal investment-re-insurance problem for an insurer under the mean-variancecriterion Zhang and Siu [31] incorporated model

As we know both the stochastic interest rates and in-flation cannot be ignored for decision makers when dealingwith long-term decision problems )erefore the in-corporation of both stochastic interest rate and inflationmakes our problems more practicable for the long-termdecisionmaking and this is the first contribution of our paper)e second contribution of our paper is that we establish averification theorem for the solution using an approach whichis not the same as the usual approach adopted for proving averification theorem In fact unlike previous literaturestudies the usual standard technical conditions required bythe verification theorem for the solution of the optimal in-vestment-reinsurance problem such as the Lipschitz condi-tion and the linear growth condition are not satisfied by themodel considered which makes the proof of the verificationtheorem to be a challenging thing

)e rest of this paper is organized as follows Section 2presents the model dynamics and assumptions in theeconomy finance and insurance markets )e optimizationproblem of the insurer is formulated in Section 3 Fur-thermore the closed-form solutions to the problem underthe two stochastic interest rate models are derived by in-voking the use of the HJB dynamic programming approachIn Section 4 the verification theorem for the solutions of theproblem under the two models is established Numericalcomparison and analysis are presented in Section 5)e finalsection gives some concluding remarks )e proofs of someresults are placed in an Appendix A

2 Model Dynamics and Assumptions

To begin with as usual we describe uncertainties in thecontinuous-time economy finance and insurance marketsas well as their information flows by a complete filteredprobability space (ΩF F p) where F Ft1113864 1113865tisin[0T] is rightcontinuous p is the complete filtration and p is a real-world probability For simplicity it is supposed that thefiltration is ldquosufficiently largerdquo so that all of the processes tobe defined below are F-adapted

21 Price Index )e key economic variable we are intendingto model is inflation )is is relevant to the optimal re-insurance and investment problem of an insurer since thedecision making horizon of an insurer is usually long say adecade or more and inflation is a key economic factor whichcould lead to diminution of financial wealth of the insurerInflation can be measured by an inflation rate which may be

proxied by the annualized percentage change in a price indexExamples of a price index are consumer price indices andretail price indices Incorporating inflation in studying op-timal asset allocation problem has been considered in theliterature Some examples are Munk et al [15] Pearson andSun [14] Brennan and Xia [16] Douglas [35] George [36]and Fama and Gibbons [37] It is usually assumed that a priceindex which is used to proxy an inflation rate is modeled by astochastic process Here as in Munk et al [15] and Yao et al[38] it is supposed that the evolution of the nominal priceindex of a consumption good in an economy over time isgoverned by the following geometric Brownian motion withstochastic drift

dΠ(t) Π(t) I(t)dt + σ0(t)dW0(t)1113858 1113859

for all t isin [0 T] Π(0) Π0(1)

where W0(t)1113864 1113865tisin[0T] is a standard Brownian motion σ0(t) isthe volatility of the price index and the stochastic drift I(t)

represents the instantaneous expected inflation rate whoseevolution over time is assumed to be governed by the fol-lowing time-dependent OrnsteinndashUhlenbeck (OU) process

dI(t) β(t)[α(t) minus I(t)]dt + σ0(t)dW0(t) (2)

Here α(t) describes the long-run mean of the expectedinflation rate β(t) represents the degree of mean-reversionand σ0(t) is the volatility of the expected inflation rateConsequently the mean-reverting property of the expectedinflation rate is incorporated in themodel considered here Tosimplify our discussion it is assumed that σ0(t) α(t) β(t)and σ0(t) are deterministic and continuous functions of timet isin [0 T] However we adopt here a time-dependent OUprocess rather than the one in Munk et al [15] and Yao et al[38]

22 Financial Market Assume that the financial marketconsidered here consists of three assets one savings accountone stock and one zero-coupon bond with maturity T1 gtT

Let B(t) tisin[0T] denote the price process of the savingsaccount Assume that the evolution of B(t) tisin[0T] over timeis determined by

dB(t) r(t)B(t)dt B(0) 1 (3)

Here r(t) is the short-term interest rate or the spot ratewhose evolution over time is governed by the followingstochastic differential equation

dr(t) a(t)dt + bdW1(t) t isin 0 T11113858 1113859 r(0) r0 (4)

where b is a positive constant and W1(t)1113864 1113865tisin[0T] is a standardBrownian motion Following some explicit examples inKorn and Kraft [19] the HondashLee model and the Vasicekmodel are considered here where a(t) is respectively givenby a(t) 1113957a(t) + bξ(t) and a(t) θ(t) minus 1113954br(t) + bξ(t) Herethe risk premium ξ(t) and parameter θ(t) are assumed to bedeterministic and continuous functions of time t isin [0 T]

Let P(t T1) denote the price process of a zero-couponbond with maturity T1 gtT )en from Korn and Kraft [19]P(t T1) satisfies the following stochastic differentialequation

dP t T1( 1113857 P t T1( 1113857 r(t) + ξ(t)σ1(t)1113858 1113859dt + σ1(t)dW1(t)1113864 1113865

P 0 T1( 1113857 P0 gt 0

(5)

where r(t) is given by (4) In what follows we shall writeP(t) for P(t T1) to ease the notation As shown in Korn andKraft [19] the volatilities of the zero-coupon bond under theHondashLee model and Vasicek model are given byσ(t) minus b(T1 minus t) and σ(t) (b1113954b)[exp minus 1113954b(T1 minus t)1113966 1113967 minus 1]respectively

Furthermore it is supposed that the stock price processS(t) tisin[0T] evolves over time according to the followinggeometric Brownian motion

dS(t) S(t) μ(t)dt + σ2(t)dW2(t)1113858 1113859 S(0) S0 (6)

where W2(t)1113864 1113865tisin[0T] is a standard Brownian motion andσ2(t) is the volatility of the stock at time t where it is as-sumed that σ2(t) is a deterministic and continuous functionof time t As in Korn and Kraft [19] we decompose theappreciation rate μ(t) of the stock into the sum of a liquiditypremium (LP) and a risk premium (RP)

μ(t) r(t)1113980radic11139791113978radic1113981r(t)

+ μ(t) minus r(t)1113980radicradicradicradic11139791113978radicradicradicradic1113981

(7)

Let 1113957λ(t) denote the risk premium of the stock ie1113957λ(t) ≔ μ(t) minus r(t) Consequently the price process of thestock can be rewritten as

dS(t) S(t) [r(t) + 1113957λ(t)]dt + σ2(t)dW2(t)1113966 1113967 (8)

23 Surplus Process Let 1113957R(t) be the surplus of an insurancecompany at time t isin [0 T] Since optimal long-term in-vestment and reinsurance decision making of the insurancecompany are considered it is relevant to incorporate theimpact of inflation on the surplus of the insurance companyConsequently it is supposed here that the increment of thesurplus of the company depends on the price index de-scribed in Section 21 Specifically without loss of generalityit is assumed that the surplus process of the company1113957R(t)1113864 1113865tisin[0T] evolves over time according to a diffusion ap-proximation model with the impact of the price index beingincorporated as follows

d1113957R(t) Π(t)c(t)dt + Π(t)σ3(t)dW3(t) (9)

where W3(t)1113864 1113865tisin[0T] is a standard Brownian motion and c(t)

and σ3(t) are deterministic and continuous function of timet isin [0 T] with c(t)gt 0 Note that c(t) and σ3(t) may berespectively interpreted as the real premium rate of theinsurer and the risk attributed to uncertainty about futureinsurance liabilities See for example Jan [39] Zeng and Li[40] Hoslashjgaard and Taksar [41] and Michael and Markussen[42] for more details about diffusion approximation modelsto surplus processes of insurance companies

Remark 1 Note that d1113957R(t) denotes the instantaneous in-crement that incorporates the impact of price indexEquation (9) indicates that the instantaneous increment

changes in the surplus depends on the price index Π(t) Inother words the real instantaneous increment change isgiven by c(t)dt + σ(t)dW3(t)

Let u(t) be the proportional reinsurance retention leveladopted by the insurance company at time t whereu(t) isin [0infin) Assume for simplicity that the safety load-ings of the insurance company and the reinsurance companyare the same Consequently the surplus process of insurancecompany R(t) tisin[0T] after acquiring the proportional re-insurance is given by

dR(t) Π(t)u(t)c(t)dt + Π(t)u(t)σ3(t)dW3(t) (10)

Lastly we assume that the stochastic interest rate thebond price the price index and the expected inflation ratecould be correlated Without loss of generality we supposeCov(W1(t) W0(t)) ρt ρ isin (minus 1 1) Also assume thatW2(t)1113864 1113865tisin[0T] and W3(t)1113864 1113865tisin[0T] are independent Brownianmotions which are independent of W1(t)1113864 1113865tisin[0T] andW0(t)1113864 1113865tisin[0T] If we suppose the interest rate or the priceindex is correlated with the stock there will be an additionalmixed partial derivative term in HJB equation but it will notaffect the method used in the remainder of the paper

24 Wealth Process Suppose that the insurer is allowed tocontinuously purchase proportional reinsurance and investsall of his (or her) wealth in the financial market over the time[0 T] with TltT1 )is assumption is an idealisation in thecontinuous-time modeling set up here In practice an in-surer may only be able to acquire reinsurance treaties indiscrete time periods and there are frictional or transactioncosts when the insurer invests in the security market

Let π1(t) and π2(t) be the proportions of the total wealthinvested in the bond and stock at time t respectivelySuppose u(t) denotes the proportional reinsurance re-tention level at time t Accordingly 1 minus π1(t) minus π2(t) is theproportion of the total wealth invested in the saving accountIf we denote by 1113957X(t) the wealth of the insurer at time t afteradopting the reinsurance and investment then we have

In Section 23 the nominal price index of the con-sumption good in the economy at time t is denoted by Π(t)

)e real price of an asset in the economy over a long time isdetermined by deflating its nominal value with the priceindex Π(t) )e real wealth of the insurer which adjusts forthe impact of inflation is given by X(t) 1113957X(t)Π(t) )enapplying the Ito formula (see for example Karatzas andShreve [43]) gives

dX(t) X(t) r(t) + σ20(t) minus I(t) + ξ(t)σ1(t)(11139601113966

(12)

and the initial value X(0) ( 1113957X(0)Π(0)) X0In what follows we take η(t) ξ(t) minus ρσ0(t) With a

slight abuse of the notation we use λ(t) to denote 1113957λ(t)σ2(t)Consequently we can rewrite the wealth process as

dX(t) 1113882X(t)1113876r(t) + σ20(t) minus I(t) + σ1(t)η(t)π1(t)

+ λ(t)σ2(t)π2(t)1113877 + u(t)c(t)1113883dt

+ u(t)σ3(t)dW3(t) + X(t)π1(t)σ1(t)dW1(t)

+ X(t)π2(t)σ2(t)dW2(t) minus X(t)σ0(t)dW0(t)

(13)

with X(0) X0Next we give the definition of an admissible control

Definition 1 A strategy 1113957π(t) (π1(t) π2(t) u(t)) is said tobe admissible if (1) π1(t) π2(t) and u(t) are progressively

measurable processes (2) π1(t) and π2(t) are bounded (3)u(t)ge 0 (4) 1113957π(t) leads to a positive wealth process Wedenote Θ by the set of all admissible controls

3 Maximizing the Expected Power Utility

In this section we first present the optimal investment andreinsurance problem of an insurer as an utility maximizationproblem where the insurer aims to select an investment-reinsurance mix to maximize the expected power utility onterminal wealth )en using the standard dynamic pro-gramming approach (see for example Wendell [44] andFleming and Soner [45]) we derive the HamiltonndashJacobindashBellman (HJB) equation governing the value function of theutility maximization problem

Suppose that the insurerrsquos preference is described by anon-log hyperbolic absolute risk aversion (HARA) utilityfunction U(x) (1p)xp 0ltplt 1 xgt 0 and that the in-surer wishes to maximize the expected utility of terminalwealth at time T For any strategy 1113957π isin Θ the expected powerutility of the insurer at time T denoted by Vπ1113957(t x r I) isgiven by

4 Verification Theorem

A verification theorem for the solution to HJB (18) derived inthe previous section is presented for the two stochasticinterest rate models )e verification theorem states that thesolution of HJB (18) is the value of the optimal controlproblem of the insurer and the candidate optimal control isan optimal control

Due to the presence of r(t)X(t) and I(t)X(t) in thewealth process of (13) the usual verification theorem whichrequires Lipschitz and linear growth conditions is not ap-plicable in our situation Inspired by the methods used byKraft [11] Li and Wu [20] and Kraft [21] we need to someuniform integrability of G(τn Xlowastτn

I(τn) r(τn))1113966 1113967nisinN where

Xlowastt1113864 1113865 is the optimal wealth process and τn1113864 1113865nisinN is a sequenceof stopping times which is bounded above by T

Lemma 1 Let Xlowastt1113864 1113865 denote the respective optimal wealthprocess Ben

)emain idea of proving the above lemma is from Kraft[11] Li andWu [20] and Kraft [21] but there still exist somedetails different from these references)erefore we providethe proof in the appendix for the sake of completeness Basedon the uniform integrability property we can prove theverification theorem

Theorem 1 (verification theorem for two models)

5 Numerical Analysis

In this section we shall present numerical analysis for theoptimal strategies under the two stochastic interest ratemodels For simplicity we assume the parameters areconstant over time interval t isin [0 T] Furthermore we takesome hypothetical values T 80 T1 120 η 00606b 005 ρ minus 006 and β 002 σ0 001 and σ0 0026

)e parameter p 0ltplt 1 in the utility functionrepresents the degree of risk aversion For example themore risk averse the investor is the larger the parameteris Figures 1 and 2 depict the changes in the proportion ofthe wealth invested in the bond for insurers having dif-ferent attitudes toward risk say different values of theparameter of p From Figures 1 and 2 it can be seen thatunder each of the two stochastic interest models say theHondashLee model and the Vasicek model the insurergradually increases the optimal proportion invested in

bond as time passes by On the other hand the two figuresreveal that an investor who is more risk averse will investless amount of money in the bond than the one who is lessrisk averse

Figure 3 provides a comparison for the optimal policiesof the insurer under the HondashLee model and the Vasicekmodel In this case we choose p 05 which represents acertain degree of risk aversion of the insurer From thisfigure it can be seen that if the HondashLee model is used todescribe the stochastic interest rate more money is investedin the bond than when the stochastic interest rate is modeledby the Vasicek model )e main feature that is described bythe Vasicek model is that the interest rate will revert to acertain long-run mean level Consequently the numericalresults reveal that the mean-reverting property of the

stochastic interest rate may lead to a reduction in the optimalamount of money invested in the bond by the insurer

6 Conclusion

)e contribution of the present paper rests on the in-corporation of both stochastic interest rate and inflation onlong-term decision making of an insurance companySpecifically the HondashLee model and the Vasicek model areemployed to describe the stochastic interest rate A chal-lenging aspect of the problem is that certain standardtechnical conditions such as the Lipschitz condition and thelinear growth condition which are required in a verificationtheorem for the solution of the optimal investment-re-insurance problem are not satisfied by the model consid-ered Here we establish a verification theorem for thesolution using an approach which is not the same as theusual approach adopted for proving a verification theoremFurthermore a closed-form solution to the optimal re-insurance-investment problem is obtained for each of thetwo stochastic interest rate models )is may make theimplementation of the optimal solutions easier To shed lighton understanding some implications of the optimal solu-tions numerical analysis and comparison for the optimalsolutions are provided to illustrate the impacts of the twodifferent stochastic interest rate modeling assumptions saythe HondashLee model and the Vasicek model on the optimaldecision making of the insurer It is found that the presenceof mean-reverting effect in the stochastic interest rate de-scribed by the Vasicek model reduces the optimal amount ofmoney the insurer should invest in the bond Inspired by Buiet al [46] and Wang et al [47] we will study our problemunder the game frameworks or more complex hybrid sto-chastic systems in the future

uncertainty or ambiguity in an optimal investment-re-insurance problem by adopting a robust approach Zhangand Siu [32] discussed an optimal proportional reinsuranceand investment problem using the criterion of maximizingutility function on terminal wealth Zhang et al [33] con-sidered a Bayesian approach to incorporate parameter un-certainty in an optimal reinsurance and investment problemunder a diffusionmodel for the surplus process of an insurerLiu et al [34] considered an optimal insurance-reinsuranceproblem in the presence of dynamic risk constraint andregime switching

As we know both the stochastic interest rates and in-flation cannot be ignored for decision makers when dealingwith long-term decision problems )erefore the in-corporation of both stochastic interest rate and inflationmakes our problems more practicable for the long-termdecisionmaking and this is the first contribution of our paper)e second contribution of our paper is that we establish averification theorem for the solution using an approach whichis not the same as the usual approach adopted for proving averification theorem In fact unlike previous literaturestudies the usual standard technical conditions required bythe verification theorem for the solution of the optimal in-vestment-reinsurance problem such as the Lipschitz condi-tion and the linear growth condition are not satisfied by themodel considered which makes the proof of the verificationtheorem to be a challenging thing

)e rest of this paper is organized as follows Section 2presents the model dynamics and assumptions in theeconomy finance and insurance markets )e optimizationproblem of the insurer is formulated in Section 3 Fur-thermore the closed-form solutions to the problem underthe two stochastic interest rate models are derived by in-voking the use of the HJB dynamic programming approachIn Section 4 the verification theorem for the solutions of theproblem under the two models is established Numericalcomparison and analysis are presented in Section 5)e finalsection gives some concluding remarks )e proofs of someresults are placed in an Appendix A

2 Model Dynamics and Assumptions

To begin with as usual we describe uncertainties in thecontinuous-time economy finance and insurance marketsas well as their information flows by a complete filteredprobability space (ΩF F p) where F Ft1113864 1113865tisin[0T] is rightcontinuous p is the complete filtration and p is a real-world probability For simplicity it is supposed that thefiltration is ldquosufficiently largerdquo so that all of the processes tobe defined below are F-adapted

21 Price Index )e key economic variable we are intendingto model is inflation )is is relevant to the optimal re-insurance and investment problem of an insurer since thedecision making horizon of an insurer is usually long say adecade or more and inflation is a key economic factor whichcould lead to diminution of financial wealth of the insurerInflation can be measured by an inflation rate which may be

proxied by the annualized percentage change in a price indexExamples of a price index are consumer price indices andretail price indices Incorporating inflation in studying op-timal asset allocation problem has been considered in theliterature Some examples are Munk et al [15] Pearson andSun [14] Brennan and Xia [16] Douglas [35] George [36]and Fama and Gibbons [37] It is usually assumed that a priceindex which is used to proxy an inflation rate is modeled by astochastic process Here as in Munk et al [15] and Yao et al[38] it is supposed that the evolution of the nominal priceindex of a consumption good in an economy over time isgoverned by the following geometric Brownian motion withstochastic drift

dΠ(t) Π(t) I(t)dt + σ0(t)dW0(t)1113858 1113859

for all t isin [0 T] Π(0) Π0(1)

where W0(t)1113864 1113865tisin[0T] is a standard Brownian motion σ0(t) isthe volatility of the price index and the stochastic drift I(t)

represents the instantaneous expected inflation rate whoseevolution over time is assumed to be governed by the fol-lowing time-dependent OrnsteinndashUhlenbeck (OU) process

dI(t) β(t)[α(t) minus I(t)]dt + σ0(t)dW0(t) (2)

Here α(t) describes the long-run mean of the expectedinflation rate β(t) represents the degree of mean-reversionand σ0(t) is the volatility of the expected inflation rateConsequently the mean-reverting property of the expectedinflation rate is incorporated in themodel considered here Tosimplify our discussion it is assumed that σ0(t) α(t) β(t)and σ0(t) are deterministic and continuous functions of timet isin [0 T] However we adopt here a time-dependent OUprocess rather than the one in Munk et al [15] and Yao et al[38]

22 Financial Market Assume that the financial marketconsidered here consists of three assets one savings accountone stock and one zero-coupon bond with maturity T1 gtT

Let B(t) tisin[0T] denote the price process of the savingsaccount Assume that the evolution of B(t) tisin[0T] over timeis determined by

dB(t) r(t)B(t)dt B(0) 1 (3)

Here r(t) is the short-term interest rate or the spot ratewhose evolution over time is governed by the followingstochastic differential equation

dr(t) a(t)dt + bdW1(t) t isin 0 T11113858 1113859 r(0) r0 (4)

where b is a positive constant and W1(t)1113864 1113865tisin[0T] is a standardBrownian motion Following some explicit examples inKorn and Kraft [19] the HondashLee model and the Vasicekmodel are considered here where a(t) is respectively givenby a(t) 1113957a(t) + bξ(t) and a(t) θ(t) minus 1113954br(t) + bξ(t) Herethe risk premium ξ(t) and parameter θ(t) are assumed to bedeterministic and continuous functions of time t isin [0 T]

Let P(t T1) denote the price process of a zero-couponbond with maturity T1 gtT )en from Korn and Kraft [19]P(t T1) satisfies the following stochastic differentialequation

Mathematical Problems in Engineering 3

dP t T1( 1113857 P t T1( 1113857 r(t) + ξ(t)σ1(t)1113858 1113859dt + σ1(t)dW1(t)1113864 1113865

P 0 T1( 1113857 P0 gt 0

(5)

where r(t) is given by (4) In what follows we shall writeP(t) for P(t T1) to ease the notation As shown in Korn andKraft [19] the volatilities of the zero-coupon bond under theHondashLee model and Vasicek model are given byσ(t) minus b(T1 minus t) and σ(t) (b1113954b)[exp minus 1113954b(T1 minus t)1113966 1113967 minus 1]respectively

Furthermore it is supposed that the stock price processS(t) tisin[0T] evolves over time according to the followinggeometric Brownian motion

dS(t) S(t) μ(t)dt + σ2(t)dW2(t)1113858 1113859 S(0) S0 (6)

where W2(t)1113864 1113865tisin[0T] is a standard Brownian motion andσ2(t) is the volatility of the stock at time t where it is as-sumed that σ2(t) is a deterministic and continuous functionof time t As in Korn and Kraft [19] we decompose theappreciation rate μ(t) of the stock into the sum of a liquiditypremium (LP) and a risk premium (RP)

μ(t) r(t)1113980radic11139791113978radic1113981r(t)

+ μ(t) minus r(t)1113980radicradicradicradic11139791113978radicradicradicradic1113981

RP

(7)

Let 1113957λ(t) denote the risk premium of the stock ie1113957λ(t) ≔ μ(t) minus r(t) Consequently the price process of thestock can be rewritten as

dS(t) S(t) [r(t) + 1113957λ(t)]dt + σ2(t)dW2(t)1113966 1113967 (8)

23 Surplus Process Let 1113957R(t) be the surplus of an insurancecompany at time t isin [0 T] Since optimal long-term in-vestment and reinsurance decision making of the insurancecompany are considered it is relevant to incorporate theimpact of inflation on the surplus of the insurance companyConsequently it is supposed here that the increment of thesurplus of the company depends on the price index de-scribed in Section 21 Specifically without loss of generalityit is assumed that the surplus process of the company1113957R(t)1113864 1113865tisin[0T] evolves over time according to a diffusion ap-proximation model with the impact of the price index beingincorporated as follows

d1113957R(t) Π(t)c(t)dt + Π(t)σ3(t)dW3(t) (9)

where W3(t)1113864 1113865tisin[0T] is a standard Brownian motion and c(t)

and σ3(t) are deterministic and continuous function of timet isin [0 T] with c(t)gt 0 Note that c(t) and σ3(t) may berespectively interpreted as the real premium rate of theinsurer and the risk attributed to uncertainty about futureinsurance liabilities See for example Jan [39] Zeng and Li[40] Hoslashjgaard and Taksar [41] and Michael and Markussen[42] for more details about diffusion approximation modelsto surplus processes of insurance companies

Remark 1 Note that d1113957R(t) denotes the instantaneous in-crement that incorporates the impact of price indexEquation (9) indicates that the instantaneous increment

changes in the surplus depends on the price index Π(t) Inother words the real instantaneous increment change isgiven by c(t)dt + σ(t)dW3(t)

Let u(t) be the proportional reinsurance retention leveladopted by the insurance company at time t whereu(t) isin [0infin) Assume for simplicity that the safety load-ings of the insurance company and the reinsurance companyare the same Consequently the surplus process of insurancecompany R(t) tisin[0T] after acquiring the proportional re-insurance is given by

dR(t) Π(t)u(t)c(t)dt + Π(t)u(t)σ3(t)dW3(t) (10)

Lastly we assume that the stochastic interest rate thebond price the price index and the expected inflation ratecould be correlated Without loss of generality we supposeCov(W1(t) W0(t)) ρt ρ isin (minus 1 1) Also assume thatW2(t)1113864 1113865tisin[0T] and W3(t)1113864 1113865tisin[0T] are independent Brownianmotions which are independent of W1(t)1113864 1113865tisin[0T] andW0(t)1113864 1113865tisin[0T] If we suppose the interest rate or the priceindex is correlated with the stock there will be an additionalmixed partial derivative term in HJB equation but it will notaffect the method used in the remainder of the paper

24 Wealth Process Suppose that the insurer is allowed tocontinuously purchase proportional reinsurance and investsall of his (or her) wealth in the financial market over the time[0 T] with TltT1 )is assumption is an idealisation in thecontinuous-time modeling set up here In practice an in-surer may only be able to acquire reinsurance treaties indiscrete time periods and there are frictional or transactioncosts when the insurer invests in the security market

Let π1(t) and π2(t) be the proportions of the total wealthinvested in the bond and stock at time t respectivelySuppose u(t) denotes the proportional reinsurance re-tention level at time t Accordingly 1 minus π1(t) minus π2(t) is theproportion of the total wealth invested in the saving accountIf we denote by 1113957X(t) the wealth of the insurer at time t afteradopting the reinsurance and investment then we have

In Section 23 the nominal price index of the con-sumption good in the economy at time t is denoted by Π(t)

)e real price of an asset in the economy over a long time isdetermined by deflating its nominal value with the priceindex Π(t) )e real wealth of the insurer which adjusts forthe impact of inflation is given by X(t) 1113957X(t)Π(t) )enapplying the Ito formula (see for example Karatzas andShreve [43]) gives

(12)

and the initial value X(0) ( 1113957X(0)Π(0)) X0In what follows we take η(t) ξ(t) minus ρσ0(t) With a

slight abuse of the notation we use λ(t) to denote 1113957λ(t)σ2(t)Consequently we can rewrite the wealth process as

dX(t) 1113882X(t)1113876r(t) + σ20(t) minus I(t) + σ1(t)η(t)π1(t)

+ λ(t)σ2(t)π2(t)1113877 + u(t)c(t)1113883dt

+ X(t)π2(t)σ2(t)dW2(t) minus X(t)σ0(t)dW0(t)

(13)

with X(0) X0Next we give the definition of an admissible control

Definition 1 A strategy 1113957π(t) (π1(t) π2(t) u(t)) is said tobe admissible if (1) π1(t) π2(t) and u(t) are progressively

measurable processes (2) π1(t) and π2(t) are bounded (3)u(t)ge 0 (4) 1113957π(t) leads to a positive wealth process Wedenote Θ by the set of all admissible controls

3 Maximizing the Expected Power Utility

In this section we first present the optimal investment andreinsurance problem of an insurer as an utility maximizationproblem where the insurer aims to select an investment-reinsurance mix to maximize the expected power utility onterminal wealth )en using the standard dynamic pro-gramming approach (see for example Wendell [44] andFleming and Soner [45]) we derive the HamiltonndashJacobindashBellman (HJB) equation governing the value function of theutility maximization problem

Suppose that the insurerrsquos preference is described by anon-log hyperbolic absolute risk aversion (HARA) utilityfunction U(x) (1p)xp 0ltplt 1 xgt 0 and that the in-surer wishes to maximize the expected utility of terminalwealth at time T For any strategy 1113957π isin Θ the expected powerutility of the insurer at time T denoted by Vπ1113957(t x r I) isgiven by

Xlowastt1113864 1113865 is the optimal wealth process and τn1113864 1113865nisinN is a sequenceof stopping times which is bounded above by T

Lemma 1 Let Xlowastt1113864 1113865 denote the respective optimal wealthprocess Ben

)emain idea of proving the above lemma is from Kraft[11] Li andWu [20] and Kraft [21] but there still exist somedetails different from these references)erefore we providethe proof in the appendix for the sake of completeness Basedon the uniform integrability property we can prove theverification theorem

bond as time passes by On the other hand the two figuresreveal that an investor who is more risk averse will investless amount of money in the bond than the one who is lessrisk averse

Figure 3 provides a comparison for the optimal policiesof the insurer under the HondashLee model and the Vasicekmodel In this case we choose p 05 which represents acertain degree of risk aversion of the insurer From thisfigure it can be seen that if the HondashLee model is used todescribe the stochastic interest rate more money is investedin the bond than when the stochastic interest rate is modeledby the Vasicek model )e main feature that is described bythe Vasicek model is that the interest rate will revert to acertain long-run mean level Consequently the numericalresults reveal that the mean-reverting property of the

stochastic interest rate may lead to a reduction in the optimalamount of money invested in the bond by the insurer

6 Conclusion

)e contribution of the present paper rests on the in-corporation of both stochastic interest rate and inflation onlong-term decision making of an insurance companySpecifically the HondashLee model and the Vasicek model areemployed to describe the stochastic interest rate A chal-lenging aspect of the problem is that certain standardtechnical conditions such as the Lipschitz condition and thelinear growth condition which are required in a verificationtheorem for the solution of the optimal investment-re-insurance problem are not satisfied by the model consid-ered Here we establish a verification theorem for thesolution using an approach which is not the same as theusual approach adopted for proving a verification theoremFurthermore a closed-form solution to the optimal re-insurance-investment problem is obtained for each of thetwo stochastic interest rate models )is may make theimplementation of the optimal solutions easier To shed lighton understanding some implications of the optimal solu-tions numerical analysis and comparison for the optimalsolutions are provided to illustrate the impacts of the twodifferent stochastic interest rate modeling assumptions saythe HondashLee model and the Vasicek model on the optimaldecision making of the insurer It is found that the presenceof mean-reverting effect in the stochastic interest rate de-scribed by the Vasicek model reduces the optimal amount ofmoney the insurer should invest in the bond Inspired by Buiet al [46] and Wang et al [47] we will study our problemunder the game frameworks or more complex hybrid sto-chastic systems in the future

A The Proof of Uniformly Integrability

Proof of Lemma 1 Note that the candidate optimal controlsulowast(t) in the HondashLee model are the same as that in theVasicek model (see (36) and (44)))us under the candidateoptimal control 1113957πlowast(t) (πlowast1(t) πlowast2(t) ulowast(t)) we can re-write the wealth process (13) as

where r(t) is given by (4) In what follows we shall writeP(t) for P(t T1) to ease the notation As shown in Korn andKraft [19] the volatilities of the zero-coupon bond under theHondashLee model and Vasicek model are given byσ(t) minus b(T1 minus t) and σ(t) (b1113954b)[exp minus 1113954b(T1 minus t)1113966 1113967 minus 1]respectively

Furthermore it is supposed that the stock price processS(t) tisin[0T] evolves over time according to the followinggeometric Brownian motion

dS(t) S(t) μ(t)dt + σ2(t)dW2(t)1113858 1113859 S(0) S0 (6)

where W2(t)1113864 1113865tisin[0T] is a standard Brownian motion andσ2(t) is the volatility of the stock at time t where it is as-sumed that σ2(t) is a deterministic and continuous functionof time t As in Korn and Kraft [19] we decompose theappreciation rate μ(t) of the stock into the sum of a liquiditypremium (LP) and a risk premium (RP)

Let 1113957λ(t) denote the risk premium of the stock ie1113957λ(t) ≔ μ(t) minus r(t) Consequently the price process of thestock can be rewritten as

dS(t) S(t) [r(t) + 1113957λ(t)]dt + σ2(t)dW2(t)1113966 1113967 (8)

23 Surplus Process Let 1113957R(t) be the surplus of an insurancecompany at time t isin [0 T] Since optimal long-term in-vestment and reinsurance decision making of the insurancecompany are considered it is relevant to incorporate theimpact of inflation on the surplus of the insurance companyConsequently it is supposed here that the increment of thesurplus of the company depends on the price index de-scribed in Section 21 Specifically without loss of generalityit is assumed that the surplus process of the company1113957R(t)1113864 1113865tisin[0T] evolves over time according to a diffusion ap-proximation model with the impact of the price index beingincorporated as follows

d1113957R(t) Π(t)c(t)dt + Π(t)σ3(t)dW3(t) (9)

where W3(t)1113864 1113865tisin[0T] is a standard Brownian motion and c(t)

and σ3(t) are deterministic and continuous function of timet isin [0 T] with c(t)gt 0 Note that c(t) and σ3(t) may berespectively interpreted as the real premium rate of theinsurer and the risk attributed to uncertainty about futureinsurance liabilities See for example Jan [39] Zeng and Li[40] Hoslashjgaard and Taksar [41] and Michael and Markussen[42] for more details about diffusion approximation modelsto surplus processes of insurance companies

Remark 1 Note that d1113957R(t) denotes the instantaneous in-crement that incorporates the impact of price indexEquation (9) indicates that the instantaneous increment

changes in the surplus depends on the price index Π(t) Inother words the real instantaneous increment change isgiven by c(t)dt + σ(t)dW3(t)

Let u(t) be the proportional reinsurance retention leveladopted by the insurance company at time t whereu(t) isin [0infin) Assume for simplicity that the safety load-ings of the insurance company and the reinsurance companyare the same Consequently the surplus process of insurancecompany R(t) tisin[0T] after acquiring the proportional re-insurance is given by

dR(t) Π(t)u(t)c(t)dt + Π(t)u(t)σ3(t)dW3(t) (10)

Lastly we assume that the stochastic interest rate thebond price the price index and the expected inflation ratecould be correlated Without loss of generality we supposeCov(W1(t) W0(t)) ρt ρ isin (minus 1 1) Also assume thatW2(t)1113864 1113865tisin[0T] and W3(t)1113864 1113865tisin[0T] are independent Brownianmotions which are independent of W1(t)1113864 1113865tisin[0T] andW0(t)1113864 1113865tisin[0T] If we suppose the interest rate or the priceindex is correlated with the stock there will be an additionalmixed partial derivative term in HJB equation but it will notaffect the method used in the remainder of the paper

24 Wealth Process Suppose that the insurer is allowed tocontinuously purchase proportional reinsurance and investsall of his (or her) wealth in the financial market over the time[0 T] with TltT1 )is assumption is an idealisation in thecontinuous-time modeling set up here In practice an in-surer may only be able to acquire reinsurance treaties indiscrete time periods and there are frictional or transactioncosts when the insurer invests in the security market

Let π1(t) and π2(t) be the proportions of the total wealthinvested in the bond and stock at time t respectivelySuppose u(t) denotes the proportional reinsurance re-tention level at time t Accordingly 1 minus π1(t) minus π2(t) is theproportion of the total wealth invested in the saving accountIf we denote by 1113957X(t) the wealth of the insurer at time t afteradopting the reinsurance and investment then we have

In Section 23 the nominal price index of the con-sumption good in the economy at time t is denoted by Π(t)

)e real price of an asset in the economy over a long time isdetermined by deflating its nominal value with the priceindex Π(t) )e real wealth of the insurer which adjusts forthe impact of inflation is given by X(t) 1113957X(t)Π(t) )enapplying the Ito formula (see for example Karatzas andShreve [43]) gives

dX(t) X(t) r(t) + σ20(t) minus I(t) + ξ(t)σ1(t)(11139601113966

(12)

and the initial value X(0) ( 1113957X(0)Π(0)) X0In what follows we take η(t) ξ(t) minus ρσ0(t) With a

slight abuse of the notation we use λ(t) to denote 1113957λ(t)σ2(t)Consequently we can rewrite the wealth process as

dX(t) 1113882X(t)1113876r(t) + σ20(t) minus I(t) + σ1(t)η(t)π1(t)

+ λ(t)σ2(t)π2(t)1113877 + u(t)c(t)1113883dt

+ X(t)π2(t)σ2(t)dW2(t) minus X(t)σ0(t)dW0(t)

(13)

with X(0) X0Next we give the definition of an admissible control

Definition 1 A strategy 1113957π(t) (π1(t) π2(t) u(t)) is said tobe admissible if (1) π1(t) π2(t) and u(t) are progressively

measurable processes (2) π1(t) and π2(t) are bounded (3)u(t)ge 0 (4) 1113957π(t) leads to a positive wealth process Wedenote Θ by the set of all admissible controls

3 Maximizing the Expected Power Utility

In this section we first present the optimal investment andreinsurance problem of an insurer as an utility maximizationproblem where the insurer aims to select an investment-reinsurance mix to maximize the expected power utility onterminal wealth )en using the standard dynamic pro-gramming approach (see for example Wendell [44] andFleming and Soner [45]) we derive the HamiltonndashJacobindashBellman (HJB) equation governing the value function of theutility maximization problem

Suppose that the insurerrsquos preference is described by anon-log hyperbolic absolute risk aversion (HARA) utilityfunction U(x) (1p)xp 0ltplt 1 xgt 0 and that the in-surer wishes to maximize the expected utility of terminalwealth at time T For any strategy 1113957π isin Θ the expected powerutility of the insurer at time T denoted by Vπ1113957(t x r I) isgiven by

4 Verification Theorem

A verification theorem for the solution to HJB (18) derived inthe previous section is presented for the two stochasticinterest rate models )e verification theorem states that thesolution of HJB (18) is the value of the optimal controlproblem of the insurer and the candidate optimal control isan optimal control

Due to the presence of r(t)X(t) and I(t)X(t) in thewealth process of (13) the usual verification theorem whichrequires Lipschitz and linear growth conditions is not ap-plicable in our situation Inspired by the methods used byKraft [11] Li and Wu [20] and Kraft [21] we need to someuniform integrability of G(τn Xlowastτn

I(τn) r(τn))1113966 1113967nisinN where

Xlowastt1113864 1113865 is the optimal wealth process and τn1113864 1113865nisinN is a sequenceof stopping times which is bounded above by T

)emain idea of proving the above lemma is from Kraft[11] Li andWu [20] and Kraft [21] but there still exist somedetails different from these references)erefore we providethe proof in the appendix for the sake of completeness Basedon the uniform integrability property we can prove theverification theorem

Theorem 1 (verification theorem for two models)

5 Numerical Analysis

In this section we shall present numerical analysis for theoptimal strategies under the two stochastic interest ratemodels For simplicity we assume the parameters areconstant over time interval t isin [0 T] Furthermore we takesome hypothetical values T 80 T1 120 η 00606b 005 ρ minus 006 and β 002 σ0 001 and σ0 0026

)e parameter p 0ltplt 1 in the utility functionrepresents the degree of risk aversion For example themore risk averse the investor is the larger the parameteris Figures 1 and 2 depict the changes in the proportion ofthe wealth invested in the bond for insurers having dif-ferent attitudes toward risk say different values of theparameter of p From Figures 1 and 2 it can be seen thatunder each of the two stochastic interest models say theHondashLee model and the Vasicek model the insurergradually increases the optimal proportion invested in

bond as time passes by On the other hand the two figuresreveal that an investor who is more risk averse will investless amount of money in the bond than the one who is lessrisk averse

Figure 3 provides a comparison for the optimal policiesof the insurer under the HondashLee model and the Vasicekmodel In this case we choose p 05 which represents acertain degree of risk aversion of the insurer From thisfigure it can be seen that if the HondashLee model is used todescribe the stochastic interest rate more money is investedin the bond than when the stochastic interest rate is modeledby the Vasicek model )e main feature that is described bythe Vasicek model is that the interest rate will revert to acertain long-run mean level Consequently the numericalresults reveal that the mean-reverting property of the

6 Conclusion

)e contribution of the present paper rests on the in-corporation of both stochastic interest rate and inflation onlong-term decision making of an insurance companySpecifically the HondashLee model and the Vasicek model areemployed to describe the stochastic interest rate A chal-lenging aspect of the problem is that certain standardtechnical conditions such as the Lipschitz condition and thelinear growth condition which are required in a verificationtheorem for the solution of the optimal investment-re-insurance problem are not satisfied by the model consid-ered Here we establish a verification theorem for thesolution using an approach which is not the same as theusual approach adopted for proving a verification theoremFurthermore a closed-form solution to the optimal re-insurance-investment problem is obtained for each of thetwo stochastic interest rate models )is may make theimplementation of the optimal solutions easier To shed lighton understanding some implications of the optimal solu-tions numerical analysis and comparison for the optimalsolutions are provided to illustrate the impacts of the twodifferent stochastic interest rate modeling assumptions saythe HondashLee model and the Vasicek model on the optimaldecision making of the insurer It is found that the presenceof mean-reverting effect in the stochastic interest rate de-scribed by the Vasicek model reduces the optimal amount ofmoney the insurer should invest in the bond Inspired by Buiet al [46] and Wang et al [47] we will study our problemunder the game frameworks or more complex hybrid sto-chastic systems in the future

and the initial value X(0) ( 1113957X(0)Π(0)) X0In what follows we take η(t) ξ(t) minus ρσ0(t) With a

slight abuse of the notation we use λ(t) to denote 1113957λ(t)σ2(t)Consequently we can rewrite the wealth process as

Definition 1 A strategy 1113957π(t) (π1(t) π2(t) u(t)) is said tobe admissible if (1) π1(t) π2(t) and u(t) are progressively

3 Maximizing the Expected Power Utility

In this section we first present the optimal investment andreinsurance problem of an insurer as an utility maximizationproblem where the insurer aims to select an investment-reinsurance mix to maximize the expected power utility onterminal wealth )en using the standard dynamic pro-gramming approach (see for example Wendell [44] andFleming and Soner [45]) we derive the HamiltonndashJacobindashBellman (HJB) equation governing the value function of theutility maximization problem

Suppose that the insurerrsquos preference is described by anon-log hyperbolic absolute risk aversion (HARA) utilityfunction U(x) (1p)xp 0ltplt 1 xgt 0 and that the in-surer wishes to maximize the expected utility of terminalwealth at time T For any strategy 1113957π isin Θ the expected powerutility of the insurer at time T denoted by Vπ1113957(t x r I) isgiven by

4 Verification Theorem

A verification theorem for the solution to HJB (18) derived inthe previous section is presented for the two stochasticinterest rate models )e verification theorem states that thesolution of HJB (18) is the value of the optimal controlproblem of the insurer and the candidate optimal control isan optimal control

Due to the presence of r(t)X(t) and I(t)X(t) in thewealth process of (13) the usual verification theorem whichrequires Lipschitz and linear growth conditions is not ap-plicable in our situation Inspired by the methods used byKraft [11] Li and Wu [20] and Kraft [21] we need to someuniform integrability of G(τn Xlowastτn

I(τn) r(τn))1113966 1113967nisinN where

Xlowastt1113864 1113865 is the optimal wealth process and τn1113864 1113865nisinN is a sequenceof stopping times which is bounded above by T

Lemma 1 Let Xlowastt1113864 1113865 denote the respective optimal wealthprocess Ben

(1) HondashLee model suppose G and1113957πlowast(t) (πlowast1(t) πlowast2(t) ulowast(t)) are given by (35) and(36) respectively Ben the sequenceG(τn Xlowastτn

I(τn) r(τn))1113966 1113967nisinN is uniformly integrable

(2) Vasicek model suppose G and1113957πlowast(t) (πlowast1(t) πlowast2(t) ulowast(t)) are given by (43) and(44) respectively G(τn Xlowastτn

)emain idea of proving the above lemma is from Kraft[11] Li andWu [20] and Kraft [21] but there still exist somedetails different from these references)erefore we providethe proof in the appendix for the sake of completeness Basedon the uniform integrability property we can prove theverification theorem

Theorem 1 (verification theorem for two models)

5 Numerical Analysis

In this section we shall present numerical analysis for theoptimal strategies under the two stochastic interest ratemodels For simplicity we assume the parameters areconstant over time interval t isin [0 T] Furthermore we takesome hypothetical values T 80 T1 120 η 00606b 005 ρ minus 006 and β 002 σ0 001 and σ0 0026

)e parameter p 0ltplt 1 in the utility functionrepresents the degree of risk aversion For example themore risk averse the investor is the larger the parameteris Figures 1 and 2 depict the changes in the proportion ofthe wealth invested in the bond for insurers having dif-ferent attitudes toward risk say different values of theparameter of p From Figures 1 and 2 it can be seen thatunder each of the two stochastic interest models say theHondashLee model and the Vasicek model the insurergradually increases the optimal proportion invested in

bond as time passes by On the other hand the two figuresreveal that an investor who is more risk averse will investless amount of money in the bond than the one who is lessrisk averse

Figure 3 provides a comparison for the optimal policiesof the insurer under the HondashLee model and the Vasicekmodel In this case we choose p 05 which represents acertain degree of risk aversion of the insurer From thisfigure it can be seen that if the HondashLee model is used todescribe the stochastic interest rate more money is investedin the bond than when the stochastic interest rate is modeledby the Vasicek model )e main feature that is described bythe Vasicek model is that the interest rate will revert to acertain long-run mean level Consequently the numericalresults reveal that the mean-reverting property of the

stochastic interest rate may lead to a reduction in the optimalamount of money invested in the bond by the insurer

6 Conclusion

)e contribution of the present paper rests on the in-corporation of both stochastic interest rate and inflation onlong-term decision making of an insurance companySpecifically the HondashLee model and the Vasicek model areemployed to describe the stochastic interest rate A chal-lenging aspect of the problem is that certain standardtechnical conditions such as the Lipschitz condition and thelinear growth condition which are required in a verificationtheorem for the solution of the optimal investment-re-insurance problem are not satisfied by the model consid-ered Here we establish a verification theorem for thesolution using an approach which is not the same as theusual approach adopted for proving a verification theoremFurthermore a closed-form solution to the optimal re-insurance-investment problem is obtained for each of thetwo stochastic interest rate models )is may make theimplementation of the optimal solutions easier To shed lighton understanding some implications of the optimal solu-tions numerical analysis and comparison for the optimalsolutions are provided to illustrate the impacts of the twodifferent stochastic interest rate modeling assumptions saythe HondashLee model and the Vasicek model on the optimaldecision making of the insurer It is found that the presenceof mean-reverting effect in the stochastic interest rate de-scribed by the Vasicek model reduces the optimal amount ofmoney the insurer should invest in the bond Inspired by Buiet al [46] and Wang et al [47] we will study our problemunder the game frameworks or more complex hybrid sto-chastic systems in the future

4 Verification Theorem

A verification theorem for the solution to HJB (18) derived inthe previous section is presented for the two stochasticinterest rate models )e verification theorem states that thesolution of HJB (18) is the value of the optimal controlproblem of the insurer and the candidate optimal control isan optimal control

Due to the presence of r(t)X(t) and I(t)X(t) in thewealth process of (13) the usual verification theorem whichrequires Lipschitz and linear growth conditions is not ap-plicable in our situation Inspired by the methods used byKraft [11] Li and Wu [20] and Kraft [21] we need to someuniform integrability of G(τn Xlowastτn

I(τn) r(τn))1113966 1113967nisinN where

Xlowastt1113864 1113865 is the optimal wealth process and τn1113864 1113865nisinN is a sequenceof stopping times which is bounded above by T

)emain idea of proving the above lemma is from Kraft[11] Li andWu [20] and Kraft [21] but there still exist somedetails different from these references)erefore we providethe proof in the appendix for the sake of completeness Basedon the uniform integrability property we can prove theverification theorem

Theorem 1 (verification theorem for two models)

5 Numerical Analysis

In this section we shall present numerical analysis for theoptimal strategies under the two stochastic interest ratemodels For simplicity we assume the parameters areconstant over time interval t isin [0 T] Furthermore we takesome hypothetical values T 80 T1 120 η 00606b 005 ρ minus 006 and β 002 σ0 001 and σ0 0026

)e parameter p 0ltplt 1 in the utility functionrepresents the degree of risk aversion For example themore risk averse the investor is the larger the parameteris Figures 1 and 2 depict the changes in the proportion ofthe wealth invested in the bond for insurers having dif-ferent attitudes toward risk say different values of theparameter of p From Figures 1 and 2 it can be seen thatunder each of the two stochastic interest models say theHondashLee model and the Vasicek model the insurergradually increases the optimal proportion invested in

bond as time passes by On the other hand the two figuresreveal that an investor who is more risk averse will investless amount of money in the bond than the one who is lessrisk averse

Figure 3 provides a comparison for the optimal policiesof the insurer under the HondashLee model and the Vasicekmodel In this case we choose p 05 which represents acertain degree of risk aversion of the insurer From thisfigure it can be seen that if the HondashLee model is used todescribe the stochastic interest rate more money is investedin the bond than when the stochastic interest rate is modeledby the Vasicek model )e main feature that is described bythe Vasicek model is that the interest rate will revert to acertain long-run mean level Consequently the numericalresults reveal that the mean-reverting property of the

stochastic interest rate may lead to a reduction in the optimalamount of money invested in the bond by the insurer

6 Conclusion

)e contribution of the present paper rests on the in-corporation of both stochastic interest rate and inflation onlong-term decision making of an insurance companySpecifically the HondashLee model and the Vasicek model areemployed to describe the stochastic interest rate A chal-lenging aspect of the problem is that certain standardtechnical conditions such as the Lipschitz condition and thelinear growth condition which are required in a verificationtheorem for the solution of the optimal investment-re-insurance problem are not satisfied by the model consid-ered Here we establish a verification theorem for thesolution using an approach which is not the same as theusual approach adopted for proving a verification theoremFurthermore a closed-form solution to the optimal re-insurance-investment problem is obtained for each of thetwo stochastic interest rate models )is may make theimplementation of the optimal solutions easier To shed lighton understanding some implications of the optimal solu-tions numerical analysis and comparison for the optimalsolutions are provided to illustrate the impacts of the twodifferent stochastic interest rate modeling assumptions saythe HondashLee model and the Vasicek model on the optimaldecision making of the insurer It is found that the presenceof mean-reverting effect in the stochastic interest rate de-scribed by the Vasicek model reduces the optimal amount ofmoney the insurer should invest in the bond Inspired by Buiet al [46] and Wang et al [47] we will study our problemunder the game frameworks or more complex hybrid sto-chastic systems in the future

4 Verification Theorem

A verification theorem for the solution to HJB (18) derived inthe previous section is presented for the two stochasticinterest rate models )e verification theorem states that thesolution of HJB (18) is the value of the optimal controlproblem of the insurer and the candidate optimal control isan optimal control

)emain idea of proving the above lemma is from Kraft[11] Li andWu [20] and Kraft [21] but there still exist somedetails different from these references)erefore we providethe proof in the appendix for the sake of completeness Basedon the uniform integrability property we can prove theverification theorem

Theorem 1 (verification theorem for two models)

5 Numerical Analysis

In this section we shall present numerical analysis for theoptimal strategies under the two stochastic interest ratemodels For simplicity we assume the parameters areconstant over time interval t isin [0 T] Furthermore we takesome hypothetical values T 80 T1 120 η 00606b 005 ρ minus 006 and β 002 σ0 001 and σ0 0026

)e parameter p 0ltplt 1 in the utility functionrepresents the degree of risk aversion For example themore risk averse the investor is the larger the parameteris Figures 1 and 2 depict the changes in the proportion ofthe wealth invested in the bond for insurers having dif-ferent attitudes toward risk say different values of theparameter of p From Figures 1 and 2 it can be seen thatunder each of the two stochastic interest models say theHondashLee model and the Vasicek model the insurergradually increases the optimal proportion invested in

bond as time passes by On the other hand the two figuresreveal that an investor who is more risk averse will investless amount of money in the bond than the one who is lessrisk averse

Figure 3 provides a comparison for the optimal policiesof the insurer under the HondashLee model and the Vasicekmodel In this case we choose p 05 which represents acertain degree of risk aversion of the insurer From thisfigure it can be seen that if the HondashLee model is used todescribe the stochastic interest rate more money is investedin the bond than when the stochastic interest rate is modeledby the Vasicek model )e main feature that is described bythe Vasicek model is that the interest rate will revert to acertain long-run mean level Consequently the numericalresults reveal that the mean-reverting property of the

stochastic interest rate may lead to a reduction in the optimalamount of money invested in the bond by the insurer

6 Conclusion

)e contribution of the present paper rests on the in-corporation of both stochastic interest rate and inflation onlong-term decision making of an insurance companySpecifically the HondashLee model and the Vasicek model areemployed to describe the stochastic interest rate A chal-lenging aspect of the problem is that certain standardtechnical conditions such as the Lipschitz condition and thelinear growth condition which are required in a verificationtheorem for the solution of the optimal investment-re-insurance problem are not satisfied by the model consid-ered Here we establish a verification theorem for thesolution using an approach which is not the same as theusual approach adopted for proving a verification theoremFurthermore a closed-form solution to the optimal re-insurance-investment problem is obtained for each of thetwo stochastic interest rate models )is may make theimplementation of the optimal solutions easier To shed lighton understanding some implications of the optimal solu-tions numerical analysis and comparison for the optimalsolutions are provided to illustrate the impacts of the twodifferent stochastic interest rate modeling assumptions saythe HondashLee model and the Vasicek model on the optimaldecision making of the insurer It is found that the presenceof mean-reverting effect in the stochastic interest rate de-scribed by the Vasicek model reduces the optimal amount ofmoney the insurer should invest in the bond Inspired by Buiet al [46] and Wang et al [47] we will study our problemunder the game frameworks or more complex hybrid sto-chastic systems in the future

4 Verification Theorem

A verification theorem for the solution to HJB (18) derived inthe previous section is presented for the two stochasticinterest rate models )e verification theorem states that thesolution of HJB (18) is the value of the optimal controlproblem of the insurer and the candidate optimal control isan optimal control

Due to the presence of r(t)X(t) and I(t)X(t) in thewealth process of (13) the usual verification theorem whichrequires Lipschitz and linear growth conditions is not ap-plicable in our situation Inspired by the methods used byKraft [11] Li and Wu [20] and Kraft [21] we need to someuniform integrability of G(τn Xlowastτn

I(τn) r(τn))1113966 1113967nisinN where

Xlowastt1113864 1113865 is the optimal wealth process and τn1113864 1113865nisinN is a sequenceof stopping times which is bounded above by T

)emain idea of proving the above lemma is from Kraft[11] Li andWu [20] and Kraft [21] but there still exist somedetails different from these references)erefore we providethe proof in the appendix for the sake of completeness Basedon the uniform integrability property we can prove theverification theorem

Theorem 1 (verification theorem for two models)

5 Numerical Analysis

In this section we shall present numerical analysis for theoptimal strategies under the two stochastic interest ratemodels For simplicity we assume the parameters areconstant over time interval t isin [0 T] Furthermore we takesome hypothetical values T 80 T1 120 η 00606b 005 ρ minus 006 and β 002 σ0 001 and σ0 0026

)e parameter p 0ltplt 1 in the utility functionrepresents the degree of risk aversion For example themore risk averse the investor is the larger the parameteris Figures 1 and 2 depict the changes in the proportion ofthe wealth invested in the bond for insurers having dif-ferent attitudes toward risk say different values of theparameter of p From Figures 1 and 2 it can be seen thatunder each of the two stochastic interest models say theHondashLee model and the Vasicek model the insurergradually increases the optimal proportion invested in

bond as time passes by On the other hand the two figuresreveal that an investor who is more risk averse will investless amount of money in the bond than the one who is lessrisk averse

Figure 3 provides a comparison for the optimal policiesof the insurer under the HondashLee model and the Vasicekmodel In this case we choose p 05 which represents acertain degree of risk aversion of the insurer From thisfigure it can be seen that if the HondashLee model is used todescribe the stochastic interest rate more money is investedin the bond than when the stochastic interest rate is modeledby the Vasicek model )e main feature that is described bythe Vasicek model is that the interest rate will revert to acertain long-run mean level Consequently the numericalresults reveal that the mean-reverting property of the

stochastic interest rate may lead to a reduction in the optimalamount of money invested in the bond by the insurer

6 Conclusion

)e contribution of the present paper rests on the in-corporation of both stochastic interest rate and inflation onlong-term decision making of an insurance companySpecifically the HondashLee model and the Vasicek model areemployed to describe the stochastic interest rate A chal-lenging aspect of the problem is that certain standardtechnical conditions such as the Lipschitz condition and thelinear growth condition which are required in a verificationtheorem for the solution of the optimal investment-re-insurance problem are not satisfied by the model consid-ered Here we establish a verification theorem for thesolution using an approach which is not the same as theusual approach adopted for proving a verification theoremFurthermore a closed-form solution to the optimal re-insurance-investment problem is obtained for each of thetwo stochastic interest rate models )is may make theimplementation of the optimal solutions easier To shed lighton understanding some implications of the optimal solu-tions numerical analysis and comparison for the optimalsolutions are provided to illustrate the impacts of the twodifferent stochastic interest rate modeling assumptions saythe HondashLee model and the Vasicek model on the optimaldecision making of the insurer It is found that the presenceof mean-reverting effect in the stochastic interest rate de-scribed by the Vasicek model reduces the optimal amount ofmoney the insurer should invest in the bond Inspired by Buiet al [46] and Wang et al [47] we will study our problemunder the game frameworks or more complex hybrid sto-chastic systems in the future

5 Numerical Analysis

In this section we shall present numerical analysis for theoptimal strategies under the two stochastic interest ratemodels For simplicity we assume the parameters areconstant over time interval t isin [0 T] Furthermore we takesome hypothetical values T 80 T1 120 η 00606b 005 ρ minus 006 and β 002 σ0 001 and σ0 0026

)e parameter p 0ltplt 1 in the utility functionrepresents the degree of risk aversion For example themore risk averse the investor is the larger the parameteris Figures 1 and 2 depict the changes in the proportion ofthe wealth invested in the bond for insurers having dif-ferent attitudes toward risk say different values of theparameter of p From Figures 1 and 2 it can be seen thatunder each of the two stochastic interest models say theHondashLee model and the Vasicek model the insurergradually increases the optimal proportion invested in

bond as time passes by On the other hand the two figuresreveal that an investor who is more risk averse will investless amount of money in the bond than the one who is lessrisk averse

Figure 3 provides a comparison for the optimal policiesof the insurer under the HondashLee model and the Vasicekmodel In this case we choose p 05 which represents acertain degree of risk aversion of the insurer From thisfigure it can be seen that if the HondashLee model is used todescribe the stochastic interest rate more money is investedin the bond than when the stochastic interest rate is modeledby the Vasicek model )e main feature that is described bythe Vasicek model is that the interest rate will revert to acertain long-run mean level Consequently the numericalresults reveal that the mean-reverting property of the

stochastic interest rate may lead to a reduction in the optimalamount of money invested in the bond by the insurer

6 Conclusion

)e contribution of the present paper rests on the in-corporation of both stochastic interest rate and inflation onlong-term decision making of an insurance companySpecifically the HondashLee model and the Vasicek model areemployed to describe the stochastic interest rate A chal-lenging aspect of the problem is that certain standardtechnical conditions such as the Lipschitz condition and thelinear growth condition which are required in a verificationtheorem for the solution of the optimal investment-re-insurance problem are not satisfied by the model consid-ered Here we establish a verification theorem for thesolution using an approach which is not the same as theusual approach adopted for proving a verification theoremFurthermore a closed-form solution to the optimal re-insurance-investment problem is obtained for each of thetwo stochastic interest rate models )is may make theimplementation of the optimal solutions easier To shed lighton understanding some implications of the optimal solu-tions numerical analysis and comparison for the optimalsolutions are provided to illustrate the impacts of the twodifferent stochastic interest rate modeling assumptions saythe HondashLee model and the Vasicek model on the optimaldecision making of the insurer It is found that the presenceof mean-reverting effect in the stochastic interest rate de-scribed by the Vasicek model reduces the optimal amount ofmoney the insurer should invest in the bond Inspired by Buiet al [46] and Wang et al [47] we will study our problemunder the game frameworks or more complex hybrid sto-chastic systems in the future

Appendix

A The Proof of Uniformly Integrability

Proof of Lemma 1 Note that the candidate optimal controlsulowast(t) in the HondashLee model are the same as that in theVasicek model (see (36) and (44)))us under the candidateoptimal control 1113957πlowast(t) (πlowast1(t) πlowast2(t) ulowast(t)) we can re-write the wealth process (13) as

dXlowastt X

stochastic interest rate may lead to a reduction in the optimalamount of money invested in the bond by the insurer

6 Conclusion

)e contribution of the present paper rests on the in-corporation of both stochastic interest rate and inflation onlong-term decision making of an insurance companySpecifically the HondashLee model and the Vasicek model areemployed to describe the stochastic interest rate A chal-lenging aspect of the problem is that certain standardtechnical conditions such as the Lipschitz condition and thelinear growth condition which are required in a verificationtheorem for the solution of the optimal investment-re-insurance problem are not satisfied by the model consid-ered Here we establish a verification theorem for thesolution using an approach which is not the same as theusual approach adopted for proving a verification theoremFurthermore a closed-form solution to the optimal re-insurance-investment problem is obtained for each of thetwo stochastic interest rate models )is may make theimplementation of the optimal solutions easier To shed lighton understanding some implications of the optimal solu-tions numerical analysis and comparison for the optimalsolutions are provided to illustrate the impacts of the twodifferent stochastic interest rate modeling assumptions saythe HondashLee model and the Vasicek model on the optimaldecision making of the insurer It is found that the presenceof mean-reverting effect in the stochastic interest rate de-scribed by the Vasicek model reduces the optimal amount ofmoney the insurer should invest in the bond Inspired by Buiet al [46] and Wang et al [47] we will study our problemunder the game frameworks or more complex hybrid sto-chastic systems in the future

Appendix

A The Proof of Uniformly Integrability

Proof of Lemma 1 Note that the candidate optimal controlsulowast(t) in the HondashLee model are the same as that in theVasicek model (see (36) and (44)))us under the candidateoptimal control 1113957πlowast(t) (πlowast1(t) πlowast2(t) ulowast(t)) we can re-write the wealth process (13) as

Note that 1113957z(t) in the Vasicekmodel is equal to z(t) in theHondashLee model and so the difference between the expressionof |G(t Xlowastt rt It)|

q in the Vasicek model and HondashLee modelis the first part of the expression of |G(t Xlowastt rt It)|

qSince in the Vasicek model r(t) is described by

dr(t) [θ(t) minus 1113954br(t) + bξ(t)]dt + bdW1(t) (A18)

and 1113957k(t) (p1113954b)[1 minus eb1113954(tminus T)] after some calculations wecan easily get

Now following the same method used in the HondashLeemodel we can finally find a deterministic and continuousfunction 1113957D3(t) and a martingale 1113957M(t) such that

Similar to the method used in the HondashLee model we canobtain the uniformly integrable property ofG(τn Xlowastτn
