Abstract
We consider a resource allocation problem to decide how to share resources among different companies facing financial difficulties. The objective is to minimize the long term cost due to default events. Using the framework of Multi-Armed Restless Bandits, the optimal policy assigns an index value to each company, which orders its priority to be funded. The index generalizes the return-on-investment (ROI) index under the static setting, and we analyse the influence of the future events on the optimal dynamic policy.
