Consider a portfolio of n identically distributed risks with dependence structure modeled by an Archimedean survival copula. Wüthrich (2003) and Alink et al. (2004) proved that the probability of a large aggregate loss scales like the probability of a large individual loss, times a...

For the purpose of risk management, the study of tail behavior of multiple risks is more relevant than the study of their overall distributions. Asymptotic study assuming that each marginal risk goes to infinity is more mathematically tractable and has also uncovered some interesting performance...

With the increasing complexity of investment options in life insurance, more and more life insurers have adopted stochastic modeling methods for the assessment and management of insurance and financial risks. The most prevalent approach in market practice, Monte Carlo simulation, has been...

Although controversial from the theoretical point of view, quantile risk measures are widely used by institutions and regulators.

In this paper, we establish the second order asymptotics of ruin probabilities of a renewal risk model under the condition that the equilibrium distribution of claim sizes belongs to a rather general heavy-tailed distribution subclass—the class of second order subexponential distributions with...

In this paper we assume a multivariate risk model has been developed for a portfolio and its capital derived as a homogeneous risk measure. The Euler (or gradient) principle, then, states that the capital to be allocated to each component of the portfolio has to be calculated as an expectation...

We consider capital allocation in a hierarchical corporate structure where stakeholders at two organizational levels (e.g., board members vs line managers) may have conflicting objectives, preferences, and beliefs about risk. Capital allocation is considered as the solution to an optimization...

GlueVaR risk measures defined by Belles-Sampera et al. (2014) generalize the traditional quantile-based approach to risk measurement, while a subfamily of these risk measures has been shown to satisfy the tail-subadditivity property. In this paper we show how GlueVaR risk measures can be...

One possible way of risk management for an insurance company is to develop an early and appropriate alarm system before the possible ruin. The ruin is defined through the status of the aggregate risk process, which in turn is determined by premium accumulation as well as claim settlement outgo...

In this paper, we consider a portfolio of n dependent risks X1,…,Xn and we study the stochastic behavior of the aggregate claim amount S=X1+⋯+Xn. Our objective is to determine the amount of economic capital needed for the whole portfolio and to compute the amount of capital to be allocated...
