Ruin probabilities in the discrete time renewal risk model

In this paper, we study the discrete time renewal risk model, an extension to Gerber’s compound binomial model. Under the framework of this extension, we study the aggregate claim amount process and both finite-time and infinite-time ruin probabilities. For completeness, we derive an upper bound and an asymptotic expression for the infinite-time ruin probabilities in this risk model. Also, we demonstrate that the proposed extension can be used to approximate the continuous time renewal risk model (also known as the Sparre Andersen risk model) as Gerber’s compound binomial model has been proposed as a discrete-time version of the classical compound Poisson risk model. This allows us to derive both numerical upper and lower bounds for the infinite-time ruin probabilities defined in the continuous time risk model from their equivalents under the discrete time renewal risk model. Finally, the numerical algorithm proposed to compute infinite-time ruin probabilities in the discrete time renewal risk model is also applied in some of its extensions.     

On the first time of ruin in the bivariate compound Poisson model

This paper considers a bivariate compound Poisson model for a book of two dependent classes of insurance business. We focus on the ruin probability that at least one class of business will get ruined. As expected, general explicit expressions for this bivariate ruin probability is very difficult to obtain. In view of this, we introduce the so-called bivariate compound binomial model which can be used to approximate the finite-time survival probability of the assumed model. We then study some simple bounds for the infinite-time ruin probability via the association properties of the bivariate compound Poisson model. We also investigate the impact of dependence on the infinite-time ruin probability by means of multivariate stochastic orders.

In this paper, for a kind of risk models with heavy-tailed and delayed claims, we derive the asymptotics of the infinite-time ruin probability and the uniform asymptotics of the finite-time ruin probability. The numerical simulation results are also presented. The results of theoretical analysis and numerical simulation show that the influence of the delay for the claim payment is nearly negligible to the ruin probability when the initial capital and running-time are all large.     

Ruin probabilities of a bidimensional risk model with investment

We consider a classical risk model with the possibility of investment. We study two types of ruin in the bidimensional framework. Using the martingale technique, we obtain an upper bound for the infinite-time ruin probability with respect to the ruin time T_max(u₁,u₂). For each type of ruin, we derive an integral-differential equation for the survival probability, and an explicit asymptotic expression for the finite-time ruin probability.     

Ruin probabilities with insurance and financial risks having an FGM dependence structure

We consider a discrete-time risk model,in which insurance risks and financial risks jointly follow a multivariate Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern distribution,and the insurance risks are regularly varying tailed.Explicit asymptotic formulae are obtained for finite-time and infinite-time ruin probabilities.Some numerical results are also presented to illustrate the accuracy of our asymptotic formulae.     

On the ruin probabilities of a bidimensional perturbed risk model

We follow some recent works to study the ruin probabilities of a bidimensional perturbed insurance risk model. For the case of light-tailed claims, using the martingale technique we obtain for the infinite-time ruin probability a Lundberg-type upper bound, which captures certain information of dependence between the two marginal surplus processes. For the case of heavy-tailed claims, we derive for the finite-time ruin probability an explicit asymptotic estimate.     

On the distribution of cumulative Parisian ruin

We introduce the concept of cumulative Parisian ruin, which is based on the time spent in the red by the underlying surplus process. Our main result is an explicit representation for the distribution of the occupation time, over a finite-time horizon, for a compound Poisson process with drift and exponential claims. The Brownian ruin model is also studied in details. Finally, we analyse for a general framework the relationships between cumulative Parisian ruin and classical ruin, as well as with Parisian ruin based on exponential implementation delays.     

Uniform asymptotics for the finite-time and infinite-time ruin probabilities in a dependent risk model with constant interest rate and heavy-tailed claims

We consider a nonstandard risk model with constant interest rate. For the case where the claim sizes follow a common heavy-tailed distribution and fulfill a dependence structure proposed by Geluk and Tang [J. Geluk and Q. Tang, Asymptotic tail probabilities of sums of dependent subexponential random variables, J. Theor. Probab., 22:871–882, 2009] while the interarrival times fulfill the so-called widely lower orthant dependence, we establish a weakly asymptotically equivalent formula for the infinite-time ruin probability. In particular, when the dependence structure for claim sizes is strengthened to the widely upper orthant dependence, this result implies a uniformly asymptotically equivalent formula for the finite-time and infinite-time ruin probabilities.

Robustness analysis and convergence of empirical finite-time ruin probabilities and estimation risk solvency margin

We consider the classical risk model and carry out a sensitivity and robustness analysis of finite-time ruin probabilities. We provide algorithms to compute the related influence functions. We also prove the weak convergence of a sequence of empirical finite-time ruin probabilities starting from zero initial reserve toward a Gaussian random variable. We define the concepts of reliable finite-time ruin probability as a Value-at-Risk of the estimator of the finite-time ruin probability. To control this robust risk measure, an additional initial reserve is needed and called Estimation Risk Solvency Margin (ERSM). We apply our results to show how portfolio experience could be rewarded by cut-offs in solvency capital requirements. An application to catastrophe contamination and numerical examples are also developed.     

Recursive calculation of finite-time ruin probabilities

We develop a simple algorithm for the numerical calculation of finite-time ruin probabilities in a general discrete-time risk process model. These probabilities can be used for the calculation of approximations for the finite-time ruin probabilities in the classical actuarial risk model.     

Asymptotic ruin probabilities for a multidimensional renewal risk model with multivariate regularly varying claims

This paper studies a continuous-time multidimensional risk model with constant force of interest and dependence structures among random factors involved. The model allows a general dependence among the claim-number processes from different insurance businesses. Moreover, we utilize the framework of multivariate regular variation to describe the dependence and heavy-tailed nature of the claim sizes. Some precise asymptotic expansions are derived for both finite-time and infinite-time ruin probabilities.     

Uniform tail asymptotics for the stochastic present value of aggregate claims in the renewal risk model

Consider an insurer who is allowed to make risk-free and risky investments. The price process of the investment portfolio is described as a geometric Lévy process. We study the tail probability of the stochastic present value of future aggregate claims. When the claim-size distribution is of Pareto type, we obtain a simple asymptotic formula which holds uniformly for all time horizons. The same asymptotic formula holds for the finite-time and infinite-time ruin probabilities. Restricting our attention to the so-called constant investment strategy, we show how the insurer adjusts his investment portfolio to maximize the expected terminal wealth subject to a constraint on the ruin probability.     

On a modification of the classical risk process

In this paper, we present the classical risk process with two-step premium function. This means that the gross risk premium rate changes if the insurer’s surplus reaches a certain threshold level. The formula for the infinite-time ruin probability is obtained. The asymptotic behaviour of the ruin probability in the case where the claim size distribution has a light tail is considered as well.     

Stability analysis and optimal control of stochastic singular systems

In this paper, problems of stability and optimal control for a class of stochastic singular systems are studied. Firstly, under some appropriate assumptions, some new results about mean-square admissibility are developed and the corresponding LMI sufficient condition is given. Secondly, finite-time horizon and infinite-time horizon linear quadratic (LQ) control problems for the stochastic singular system are investigated, in which the coefficients are allowed to be random in control input and quadratic criterion. Some results involving new stochastic generalized Riccati equation are discussed as well. Finally, the proposed LQ control model for stochastic singular systems provides an appropriate and effective framework to study the portfolio selection problem in light of the recent development on general stochastic LQ problems.     

Ruin theory with excess of loss reinsurance and reinstatements

The present paper studies the probability of ruin of an insurer, if excess of loss reinsurance with reinstatements is applied. In the setting of the classical Cramér-Lundberg risk model, piecewise deterministic Markov processes are used to describe the free surplus process in this more general situation. It is shown that the finite-time ruin probability is both the solution of a partial integro-differential equation and the fixed point of a contractive integral operator. We exploit the latter representation to develop and implement a recursive algorithm for numerical approximation of the ruin probability that involves high-dimensional integration. Furthermore we study the behavior of the finite-time ruin probability under various levels of initial surplus and security loadings and compare the efficiency of the numerical algorithm with the computational alternative of stochastic simulation of the risk process.     

Optimal regulation policies for a multipurpose reservoir with seasonal input and return function

Optimal regulation policies for a multipurpose reservoir are characterized analytically for the case where the input and return functions are subject to seasonal variations and the return function is piecewise linear, concave, and separable in reservoir volume and discharge. Efficient upper and lower bounds on optimal policies are derived for two important special cases. Necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained for a finite-time horizon optimal policy to be also optimal for the infinite-time horizon.This research was supported in part by the Office of Water Resources Research, Grant No. A-043-CAL, through the Water Resources Center, University of California.     

Risk theory insight into a zone-adaptive control strategy

The main purpose of this paper is a risk theory insight into the problem of asset-liability and solvency adaptive management. In the multiperiodic insurance risk model composed of chained classical risk models, a zone-adaptive control strategy, essentially similar to that applied in Directives [Directive 2002/13/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 March 2002, Brussels, 5 March 2002], is introduced and its performance is examined analytically. That examination was initiated in [Malinovskii, V.K., 2006b. Adaptive control strategies and dependence of finite time ruin on the premium loading. Insurance: Math. Econ. (in press)] and is based on the application of the explicit expression for the finite-time ruin probability in the classical risk model. The result of independent interest in the paper is the representation of that finite-time ruin probability in terms of asymptotic series, as time increases.

Some comparison results for finite-time ruin probabilities in the classical risk model

This paper aims at showing how an ordering on claim amounts can influence finite-time ruin probabilities. Until now such a question was examined essentially for ultimate ruin probabilities. Over a finite horizon, a general approach does not seem possible but the study is conducted under different sets of conditions. This primarily covers the cases where the initial reserve is null or large.
