Summary

Until now, solved examples of the application of stochastic control to actuarial problems could only be found in journals. Not any more: this is the first book to systematically present these methods in one volume.

Stochastic Control in Insurance by Hanspeter Schmidli

Yet again, here is a Springer volume that offers readers something completely new. These examples show how verification theorems and existence theorems may be proved, and that the non-diffusion case is simpler than the diffusion case.

From the reviews:

"This book provides a state of the art treatment of dynamic stochastic control problems arising in insurance, like investment, dividend payout and reinsurance problems… The book comprises four chapters and a comprehensive appendix about stochastic processes, risk theory, life insurance and the Black-Scholes model. … is certainly a valuable reference for graduate students and researchers in actuarial sciences who are interested in stochastic control methods. It discusses in a critical way the HJB approach for these problems and shows its scope and limitations." (Nicole Bäuerle, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2008 k)

Hanspeter Schmidli is Professor of Stochastics and Actuarial Mathematics at the University of Cologne, Germany. He is one of the leading experts in the areas of optimization in insurance and ruin theory. He has published intensively in risk theory and related fields, having (co-)authored Stochastic Control in Insurance (Springer, 2008) and Stochastic Processes for Insurance and Finance (Wiley, 1999), which continue to be widely used resources.
