Studies in the Area of Insurance Economics Reported from University of Waterloo (Optimality of excess-loss reinsurance under a mean-variance criterion)

By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Insurance Weekly News -- Investigators publish new report on Economics - Insurance Economics. According to news reporting originating from Waterloo, Canada, by VerticalNews correspondents, research stated, "In this paper, we study an insurer's reinsurance investment problem under a mean variance criterion."

According to the news editors, the research concluded: "Furthermore, we obtain the explicit equilibrium reinsurance investment strategy by solving the extended Hamilton Jacobi Bellman equation."
