On the cost‐of‐capital rate under incomplete market valuation

Abstract: In this paper we discuss the concept of the cost-of-capital 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… Show more
