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...

We consider in this paper a general two-sided jump-diffusion risk model that allows for risky investments as well as for correlation between the two Brownian motions driving insurance risk and investment return. We first introduce the model and then find the integro-differential equations...

An insurance risk model where claims follow a Markovian arrival process (MArP) is considered in this paper. It is shown that the expected present value of total operating costs up to default H, as a generalization of the classical Gerber–Shiu function, contains more non-trivial quantities than...

In this paper, we consider a risk model which allows the insurer to partially reflect the recent claim experience in the determination of the next period’s premium rate. In a ruin context, similar mechanisms to the one proposed in this paper have been studied by, e.g., Tsai and Parker (2004),...

The present paper aims to revisit the homogeneous risk model investigated by De Vylder and Goovaerts (1999, 2000). First, a claim arrival process is defined on a fixed time interval by assuming that the arrival times satisfy an order statistic property. Then, the variability and the covariance...

This paper considers a bidimensional renewal risk model with constant interest force and dependent subexponential claims. Under the assumption that the claim size vectors form a sequence of independent and identically distributed random vectors following a common bivariate...

This paper studies a new risk measure derived from the expected area in red introduced in Loisel (2005). Specifically, we derive various properties of a risk measure defined as the smallest initial capital needed to ensure that the expected time-integrated negative part of the risk process on a...

Consider a continuous-time renewal risk model, in which the claim sizes and inter-arrival times form a sequence of independent and identically distributed random pairs, with each pair obeying a dependence structure. Suppose that the surplus is invested in a portfolio whose return follows a Lévy...

In this paper, we consider an extension of the classical risk model in which the premium rate policy is adaptive to claim experience. We assume that the premium rate is reviewed each time the surplus reaches a new descending ladder height. A choice between a finite number m of rates is then made...

It is often natural to consider defective or killed stochastic processes. Various observations continue to hold true for this wider class of processes yielding more general results in a transparent way without additional effort. We illustrate this point with an example from risk theory by...
