Abstract

This paper presents a managerial portfolio selection model which analyzes the reinsurance decision of the ceding insurer. Alternative goal functions for management are assumed and then comparative statics, as well as illustrative numerical examples are used to develop testable implications concerning the optimal proportional reinsurance retention level for property/liability insurance firms.
