On the cost‐of‐capital rate under incomplete market valuation
从保单持有人、股东和监管者三方均衡的角度,为保险公司资本成本率提供了经济理论基础,并用数值例子展示了量化结果。
Abstract In this paper we discuss the concept of the cost‐of‐capital (CoC) rate for an insurance company as an equilibrium in the economic triangle of policyholders, shareholders, and the regulator. This provides a possible rationalization and an economic foundation for a quantity that is widely used in practice but whose value is typically neither technically nor economically well justified. We show how it can be well founded in such a triangular equilibrium. Under a simple one‐period model and a valuation procedure of a two‐price economy for illiquid assets we provide a corresponding economic‐theoretical quantification for the CoC rate. The resulting rates are illustrated by a number of concrete numerical examples.
