Optimal Insurance Contract from an Principal-Agent Perspective

This project will be focused Insurance and Reinsurance. It will revolve around modelling the wealth equation for an insurer and reinsurer and deriving the optimal reinsurance price, insurer retension rate and value functions for the predefined models. Once the optimized parameters and value functions are derived, sensitivity analysis will be conducted to determine the nature of these optimised value as the underlying variables change.
