The Sparre Andersen model in the collective risk theory is investigated. We obtain the rate of convergence for the ruin probability after thenth payoff in the case where claim sizes are heavy tailed (say, subexponential).

A ruin model with random income and dependence between claim sizes and claim intervals

In this paper,we consider a generalization of the classical ruin model,where the income is random and the distribution of the time between two claim occurrences depends on the previous claim size.This model is more appropriate than the classical ruin model.Explicit expression for the generating function of the Gerber-Shiu expected discounted penalty function are derived.A similar model is discussed.Finally,the result are showed by two examples.     

A property of the renewal counting process with application to the finite-time ruin probability

We consider the renewal counting process , where θ ₁ , θ ₂ ,… are nonnegative independent identically distributed nondegenerate random variables with finite mean. The asymptotics for the tail of the exponential moment are derived. The obtained results are applied to the finite-time ruin probability in a renewal risk model.     

Asymptotic results for renewal risk models with risky investments

We consider a renewal jump–diffusion process, more specifically a renewal insurance risk model with investments in a stock whose price is modeled by a geometric Brownian motion. Using Laplace transforms and regular variation theory, we introduce a transparent and unifying analytic method for investigating the asymptotic behavior of ruin probabilities and related quantities, in models with light- or heavy-tailed jumps, whenever the distribution of the time between jumps has rational Laplace transform.     

Ruin probability in the presence of interest earnings and tax payments

In this paper we investigate the ruin probability in a general risk model driven by a compound Poisson process. We derive a formula for the ruin probability from which the Albrecher–Hipp tax identity follows as a corollary. Then we study, as an important special case, the classical risk model with a constant force of interest and loss-carried-forward tax payments. For this case we derive an exact formula for the ruin probability when the claims are exponential and an explicit asymptotic formula when the claims are subexponential.     

Large-deviation probabilities for maxima of sums of subexponential random variables with application to finite-time ruin probabilities

We establish an asymptotic relation for the large-deviation probabilities of the maxima of sums of subexponential random variables centered by multiples of order statistics of i.i.d.standard uniform random variables.This extends a corresponding result of Korshunov.As an application,we generalize a result of Tang,the uniform asymptotic estimate for the finite-time ruin probability,to the whole strongly subexponential class.     

Mixed poisson processes and the probability of ruin

In the Poisson case there is a well known formula that relates the probability of ruin to the distribution function of aggregate claims. It is shown how this formula can be generalized to the mixed Poisson case.     

Estimates for the finite-time ruin probability with insurance and financial risks

The paper gives estimates for the finite-time ruin probability with insurance and financial risks. When the distribution of the insurance risk belongs to the class L(??) for some ?? > 0 or the subexponential distribution class, we abtain some asymptotic equivalent relationships for the finite-time ruin probability, respectively. When the distribution of the insurance risk belongs to the dominated varying-tailed distribution class, we obtain asymptotic upper bound and lower bound for the finite-time ruin probability, where for the asymptotic upper bound, we completely get rid of the restriction of mutual independence on insurance risks, and for the lower bound, we only need the insurance risks to have a weak positive association structure. The obtained results extend and improve some existing results.     

Estimates for the probability of ruin with special emphasis on the possibility of large claims

The present paper investigates, for the general Andersen model, the asymptotic behaviour of the probability of ruin function when the initial risk reserve tends to infinity. Whereas the exponential (Cramér) case is well understood, in the past, less attention has been paid to a systematic study of a model taking big claim sizes into account. We give a thorough treatment of the latter and also review previously known but mostly scattered results to show how they all follow from essentially one mathematical model.     

Uniform asymptotics for finite-time ruin probability of a bidimensional risk model

Consider a continuous-time bidimensional risk model with constant force of interest in which the claim sizes from the same business are heavy-tailed and upper tail asymptotically independent. We investigate two cases: one is that the two claim-number processes are arbitrarily dependent, and the other is that the two corresponding claim inter-arrival times from different lines are positively quadrant dependent. Some uniformly asymptotic formulas for finite-time ruin probability are established.     

Finite Time Ruin Probabilities and Large Deviations for Generalized Compound Binomial Risk Models

In this paper, we extend the classical compound binomial risk model to the case where the premium income process is based on a Poisson process, and is no longer a linear function. For this more realistic risk model, Lundberg type limiting results for the finite time ruin probabilities are derived. Asymptotic behavior of the tail probabilities of the claim surplus process is also investigated.     

Modeling of an insurance system and its large deviations analysis

We model an insurance system consisting of one insurance company and one reinsurance company as a stochastic process in R². The claim sizes {X_i} are an iid sequence with light tails. The interarrival times {τ_i} between claims are also iid and exponentially distributed. There is a fixed premium rate c₁ that the customers pay; c<c₁ of this rate goes to the reinsurance company. If a claim size is greater than R the reinsurance company pays for the claim. We study the bankruptcy of this system before it is able to handle N number of claims. It is assumed that each company has initial reserves that grow linearly in N and that the reinsurance company has a larger reserve than the insurance company. If c and c₁ are chosen appropriately, the probability of bankruptcy decays exponentially in N. We use large deviations (LD) analysis to compute the exponential decay rate and approximate the bankruptcy probability. We find that the LD analysis of the system decouples: the LD decay rate γ of the system is the minimum of the LD decay rates of the companies when they are considered independently and separately. An analytical and numerical study of γ as a function of (c,R) is carried out.     

A local limit theorem for the probability of ruin

In this paper, we give a result on the local asymptotic behaviour of the probability of ruin in a continuous-time risk model in which the inter-claim times have an Erlang distribution and the individual claim sizes have a distribution that belongs to S(v) with v≥ 0, but where the Lundberg exponent of the underlying risk process does not exist.     

On a class of dependent Sparre Andersen risk models and a bailout application

In this paper a one-dimensional surplus process is considered with a certain Sparre Andersen type dependence structure under general interclaim times distribution and correlated phase-type claim sizes. The Laplace transform of the time to ruin under such a model is obtained as the solution of a fixed-point problem, under both the zero-delayed and the delayed cases. An efficient algorithm for solving the fixed-point problem is derived together with bounds that illustrate the quality of the approximation. A two-dimensional risk model is analyzed under a bailout type strategy with both fixed and variable costs and a dependence structure of the proposed type. Numerical examples and ideas for future research are presented at the end of the paper.     

Uniform estimates for the finite-time ruin probability in the dependent renewal risk model

This paper investigates the finite-time ruin probability in the dependent renewal risk model, where the claim sizes are independent and identically distributed random variables with strongly subexponential tails, and the interarrival times are negatively dependent. We establish an asymptotic estimate, which holds uniformly for the time horizon varying in the positive half line.

The finite-time ruin probability in the presence of Sarmanov dependent financial and insurance risks

Consider a discrete-time insurance risk modelWithin period i, i ≥ 1, Xi and Yi denote the net insurance loss and the stochastic discount factor of an insurer, respectively.Assume that {(Xi, Yi), i ≥ 1} form a sequence of independent and identically distributed random vectors following a common bivariate Sarmanov distributionIn the presence of heavy-tailed net insurance losses, an asymptotic formula is derived for the finite-time ruin probability.     

Survival probability and ruin probability of a risk model

In this paper, a new risk model is studied in which the rate of premium income is regarded as a random variable, the arrival of insurance policies is a Poisson process and the process of claim occurring is p-thinning process. The integral representations of the survival probability are gotten. The explicit formula of the survival probability on the infinite interval is obtained in the special casc cxponential distribution.The Lundberg inequality and the common formula of the ruin probability are gotten in terms of some techniques from martingale theory.     

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.
