Optimal dividends for a NatCat insurer in the presence of a climate tipping point

Date : Tags : , , , , , ,
This paper extends prior work to model an insurance company facing a future "tipping point" where catastrophe risks increase.

They show that, under fair premium adjustments and full observability, increased catastrophe risk may benefit shareholders. Numerical examples support these findings, and future research may explore relaxing model assumptions.
