Abstract

In this paper, we study the optimal reinsurance-investment game between two insurers with the same insurance business but different wealth and risk preferences. Assume that the insurers who have the symmetric asymptotic hyperbolic absolute risk aversion (SAHARA) utilities and the price of risky asset obeys the constant elasticity of variance (CEV) model. It is impossible to obtain closed-form solution of the optimal reinsurance-investment strategy due to the non-homothetic property and the complicity of SAHARA utilities. According to establish a strong duality relationship of the value function, we successfully propose an efficient dual control Monte Carlo method for computing the Nash equilibrium strategies. Finally, numerical analysis is given to illustrate the impact of model parameters to Nash equilibrium strategies.
