This paper addresses the modelling of human mortality by the aid of doubly stochastic processes with an intensity driven by a positive Lévy process. We focus on intensities having a mean reverting stochastic component. Furthermore, driving Lévy processes are pure jump processes belonging to...

We investigate the influence of the dependence between random losses on the shortfall and on the diversification benefit that arises from merging these losses. We prove that increasing the dependence between losses, expressed in terms of correlation order, has an increasing effect on the...
