We study Aumann and Serrano's (2008) risk index for sums of gambles that are not dependent. If the dependent parts are similarly ordered, then the risk index of the sum is always larger than the minimum of the risk indices of the two gambles. For negative dependence, the risk index of the sum is...

We study Aumann and Serrano's (2008) risk index for sums of gambles that are not necessarily independent. We show that if the dependent parts of two gambles are similarly ordered, or more generally positively quadrant dependent, then the risk index of the sum of two gambles is always larger than...

Purpose – The demographic risk is the risk due to the uncertainty in the demographic scenario assumptions by which life insurance products are designed and valued. The uncertainty lies both in the accidental (insurance risk) and systematic (longevity risk) deviations of the number of deaths...

Leading indicators based on correlations with reference cycles are regularly used to monitor the economy. It would be useful if we could have a quantitative measure of the risk associated with leading indicators forecasts. In this paper, we outline a methodology to develop an index for...

This study presents risk assessment of natural disasters in the poor provinces in Northern Mountain of Vietnam. We construct an Aggregate Risk Index that is a composite index comprising of three separate components: the Hazard Potential Index, Hazard Exposure Index and Coping Capacity Index....
