This paper studies the optimal risk-sharing between an insurer and a reinsurer. The insurer purchases reinsurance for risk-control and decides her retention level with an objective to minimize her ruin probability. The reinsurer has control over the reinsurance price and aims to maximize her...

A computationally appealing methodology for the valuation of large variable annuities portfolios is a metamodelling framework that evaluates a small set of representative contracts, fits a predictive model based on these computed values, and then extrapolates the model to estimate the values of...
