It assumes that the insurer can purchase reinsurance and the claim businesses between the insurer and the reinsurer are correlated through common shock dependence, and both of them are allowed to invest in a common risky asset whose price follows an Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process. By the stochastic control theory, explicit expressions of the optimal controls and the value functions are obtained for both of the insurer and reinsurer. We show that the optimal reinsurance strategy is a constant, which is independent of the time and risk-free interest rate.
