Risk exchange is considered here as a cooperative game with transferable utility. The set-up fits markets for insurance, securities and contingent endowments. When convoluted payoff is concave at the aggregate endowment, there is a price-supported core solution. Under variance aversion the...

The exact expressions for the convolutions of gamma distributions with different scale parameters is quite complicated. The approximation by means of another gamma distribution is shown to be remarkably accurate for wide ranges of the parameter values, especially if more than two random...

We prove the existence of comonotone Pareto optimal allocations satisfying utility constraints when decision makers have probabilistic sophisticated variational preferences and thus representing criteria in the class of law invariant robust utilities. The total endowment is only required to be...
