AbstractIn this paper we study the optimal dividend problem for a company whose surplus process evolves as a spectrally positive Lévy process before dividends are deducted. This model includes the dual model of the classical risk model and the dual model with diffusion as special cases. We assume that dividends are paid to the shareholders according to an admissible strategy whose dividend rate is bounded by a constant. The objective is to find a dividend policy so as to maximize the expected discounted value of dividends which are paid to the shareholders until the company is ruined. We show that the optimal dividend strategy is formed by a threshold strategy.

We consider a situation originally discussed by De Finetti (1957) in which a surplus process is modified by the introduction of a constant dividend barrier. We extend some known results relating to the distribution of the present value of dividend payments until ruin in the classical risk model and show how a discrete time risk model can be used to provide approximations when analytic results are unavailable. We extend the analysis by allowing the process to continue after ruin.

A periodic dividend problem is studied in this paper. We assume that dividend payments are made at a sequence of Poisson arrival times, and ruin is continuously monitored. First of all, three integro-differential equations for the expected discounted dividends are obtained. Then, we investigate the explicit expressions for the expected discounted dividends, and the optimal dividend barrier is given for exponential claims. A similar study on a generalized Gerber–Shiu function involving the absolute time is also performed. To demonstrate the existing results, we give some numerical examples.

In this short paper, we study a VaR-type risk measure introduced by Guérin and Renaud and which is based on cumulative Parisian ruin. We derive some properties of this risk measure and we compare it to the risk measures of Trufin et al. and Loisel and Trufin.
