The risk process of the insurance company is modeled as a diffusion process whose diffusion and drift parameters switch over time according to the same Markov chain. We study the Markov-modulated mean-variance problem for the insurer and derive explicitly the closed form of the efficient strategy and efficient frontier. In the case of no regime switching, we can see that the efficient frontier in our paper coincides with that of [10] when there is no pure jump.展开更多

By introducing a set of constraint constants to measure uncertainty degree of the estimated expected return,it built the max-min model of multi-prior portfolio,and utilized the Lagrange method to obtain the closed-form solution of the model,which was compared with the mean-variance model and the minimum-variance model; then,an empirical study was done based on the monthly returns over the period June 2011 to May 2014 of eight kinds of stocks in Shanghai Exchange 50 Index. Results showed,the weight of multi-prior portfolio was a weighted average of the weight of mean-variance portfolio and that of minimumvariance portfolio; the steady of multi-prior portfolio was strengthened compared with the mean-variance portfolio; the performance of multi-prior portfolio was greater than that of minimum-variance portfolio. The study demonstrates that the investor can improve the steady of multi-prior portfolio as well as its performance for some appropriate constraint constants.展开更多

The market is thus incomplete implying that perfect hedging is not possible. To derive a hedging strategy, it follows the approach based on the idea of hedging under a mean-variance criterion suggested by Schweizer. A very simple solution of this hedging problem by using the numeraire method was presented and some examples with explicit solutions were given.展开更多

First, aLagrange multiplier is introduced to simplify the mean-variance problem and thecorresponding Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation is established. Via a powertransformation technique and variable change method, the optimal strategies withthe Lagrange multiplier are obtained. Final, based on the Lagrange duality theorem,the optimal strategies and optimal value for the original problem (i.e., the efficientstrategies and efficient frontier) are derived explicitly.展开更多

More precisely, expressions for the goal-achieving probabilities of the terminal wealth are obtained and numerical comparisons of lower bounds for these probabilities are shown for various market parameters. We conclude with asymptotic results when the Markovian changes in the volatility parameters appear with either higher or lower frequencies.展开更多

The problem originated in the late 19<sup>th</sup> century with William Morris Davis who is sometimes called the father of geomorphology and was one of the first geologists to interpret what in the late 19<sup>th</sup> century were newly available topographic maps. An 1889 Davis paper describes selected drainage system evidence observed on an advance copy of the 1890 Doylestown (Pennsylvania) topographic map and an 1892 Ward paper written after discussions with Davis describes additional selected drainage system evidence seen on the same map. Both papers fail to mention the majority of the Doylestown map’s drainage system features including most barbed tributaries, asymmetric drainage divides, and through (dry) valleys crossing major drainage divides. Had Davis used all of the map’s drainage system and erosional landform evidence he should have recognized the map evidence shows headward erosion of an east-oriented Neshaminy Creek valley captured southwest-oriented streams which headward erosion of the south-oriented Delaware River valley and its east-oriented tributary Tohickon Creek valley had beheaded. Consciously or unconsciously, Davis chose not to alert future investigators that Doylestown topographic map evidence did not support his yet-to-be-published Pennsylvania and New Jersey erosion history interpretations and instead Davis proceeded to develop and promote erosion history interpretations which the map evidence did not support.展开更多
