Classical and Impulse Stochastic Control on the Optimization of Dividends with Residual Capital at Bankruptcy

الملخص EN

In this paper, we consider the optimization problem of dividends for the terminal bankruptcy model, in which some money would be returned to shareholders at the state of terminal bankruptcy, while accounting for the tax rate and transaction cost for dividend payout.

Maximization of both expected total discounted dividends before bankruptcy and expected discounted returned money at the state of terminal bankruptcy becomes a mixed classical-impulse stochastic control problem.

In order to solve this problem, we reduce it to quasi-variational inequalities with a nonzero boundary condition.

We explicitly construct and verify solutions of these inequalities and present the value function together with the optimal policy.
