Dividend optimization for jump-diffusion model with solvency constraints

Abstract Belhaj (2010) established that a barrier strategy is optimal for the dividend problem under jump–diffusion model. However, if the optimal dividend barrier level is set too low, then the bankruptcy probability may be too high to be acceptable. This paper aims to address this issue by taking the solvency constrain into consideration. Precisely, we consider a dividend payment problem with solvency constraint under a jump–diffusion model. Using stochastic control and PIDE, we derive the optimal dividend strategy of the problem.
