Talk Introduction

This paper studies time-consistent investment problems in a dynamic environment from different perspectives. Under different settings, we derive explicit expressions for the optimal strategies and the corresponding objective functions. Firstly, we consider a continuous-time mean-variance portfolio selection problem based on a log-return model. Then, we take into consideration a liability to the mean-variance problem. Since the financial market is complicated and the insurance industry consists of different institutions, the insurer should consider the strategic interaction when determining strategies. We introduce the game theory with reinsurance-investment problems to reflect the cooperation and competition among insurers. We focus on the time-consistent non-zero-sum reinsurance-investment stochastic differential game problem between two insurers under mean-variance criteria with state-dependent risk aversions.
