For operational purposes, in Enterprise Risk Management or in insurance for example, it may be important to estimate remote (but not extreme) quantiles of some function ƒ of some random vector. The call to ƒ may be time- and resource-consuming so that one aims at reducing as much as possible...

The purpose of this paper is to point out that an asymptotic rule "A+B/u" for the ultimate ruin probability applies to a wide class of dependent risk models, in discrete and continuous time. Dependence is incorporated through a mixing approach among claim amounts or claim inter-arrival times,...

We present a new model of loss processes in insurance. The process is a couple (N,L) where N is a univariate Markov-modulated Poisson process (MMPP) and L is a multivariate loss process whose behavior is driven by N. We prove the strong consistency of the maximum likelihood estimator of the...

In risk management, the distribution of underlying random variables is not always known. Sometimes, only the mean value and some shape information (decreasingness, convexity after a certain point,...) of the discrete density are available. The present paper aims at providing convex extrema in...

This paper is concerned with the compound Poisson risk model and two generalized models with still Poisson claim arrivals. One extension incorporates inhomogeneity in the premium input and in the claim arrival process, while the other takes into account possible dependence between the successive...

In the renewal risk model, we study the asymptotic behavior of the expected time-integrated negative part of the process. This risk measure has been introduced by Loisel (2005). Both heavy-tailed and light-tailed claim amount distributions are investigated. The time horizon may be finite or...

In the compound Poisson risk model, several strong hypotheses may be found too restrictive to describe accurately the evolution of the reserves of an insurance company. This is especially true for a company that faces natural disaster risks like earthquake or flooding. For such risks, claim...

In the renewal risk model, several strong hypotheses may be found too restrictive to model accurately the complex evolution of the reserves of an insurance company. In the case where claim sizes are heavy-tailed, we relax independence and stationarity assumptions and extend some asymptotic...

Nous nous attachons dans cet article à décrire de manière précise le risque de rachat de contrat d'Assurance Vie, plus particulièrement sur le marché des contrats d'épargne. Après avoir proposé un panorama du rachat en France, nous nous attardons sur les enjeux sous-jacents à ce risque...

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...
