Optimal form of retention for securitized loans under moral hazard

Dionne, Georges; Malekan, Sara - In: Risks : open access journal 5 (2017) 4, pp. 1-13

We address the moral hazard problem of securitization using a principal-agent model where the investor is the principal and the lender is the agent. Our model considers structured asset-backed securitization with a credit enhancement (tranching) procedure. We assume that the originator can...

Monopolistic insurance and the value of information

Snow, Arthur - In: Risks : open access journal 3 (2015) 3, pp. 277-289

The value of information regarding risk class for a monopoly insurer and its customers is examined in both symmetric … and asymmetric information environments. A monopolist always prefers contracting with uninformed customers as this … maximizes the rent extracted under symmetric information while also avoiding the cost of adverse selection when information is …

Optimal reinsurance : a risk sharing approach

Balbás de la Corte, Alejandro; Balbas, Beatriz; … - In: Risks : open access journal 1 (2013) 2, pp. 45-56

This paper proposes risk sharing strategies, which allow insurers to cooperate and diversify non-systemic risk. We deal with both deviation measures and coherent risk measures and provide general mathematical methods applying to optimize them all. Numerical examples are given in order to...

The shifting shape of risk : endogenous market failure for insurance

Koch, Thomas G. - In: Risks : open access journal 5 (2017) 1, pp. 1-13

This article considers an economy where risk is insurable, but selection determines the pool of individuals who take it up. First, we demonstrate that the comparative statics of these economies do not necessarily depend on its marginal selection (adverse versus favorable), but rather other...

Custom v. standardized risk models

Kakushadze, Zura; Liew, Jim Kyung-Soo - In: Risks : open access journal 3 (2015) 2, pp. 112-138

We discuss when and why custom multi-factor risk models are warranted and give source code for computing some risk factors. Pension/mutual funds do not require customization but standardization. However, using standardized risk models in quant trading with much shorter holding horizons is...

Evaluating risk measures and capital allocations based on multi-losses driven by a heavy-tailed background risk : the multivariate Pareto-II model

Asimit, Alexandru V.; Vernic, Raluca; Zitikis, Riċardas - In: Risks : open access journal 1 (2013) 1, pp. 14-33

Evaluating risk measures, premiums, and capital allocation based on dependent multi-losses is a notoriously difficult task. In this paper, we demonstrate how this can be successfully accomplished when losses follow the multivariate Pareto distribution of the second kind, which is an attractive...

An academic response to Basel 3.5

Embrechts, Paul; Puccetti, Giovanni; Rüschendorf, Ludger; … - In: Risks : open access journal 2 (2014) 1, pp. 25-48

Recent crises in the financial industry have shown weaknesses in the modeling of Risk-Weighted Assets (RWAs). Relatively minor model changes may lead to substantial changes in the RWA numbers. Similar problems are encountered in the Value-at-Risk (VaR)-aggregation of risks. In this article, we...

Risk minimization for insurance products via F-doubly stochastic Markov chains

Biagini, Francesca; Groll, Andreas; Widenmann, Jan … - In: Risks : open access journal 4 (2016) 3, pp. 1-26

We study risk-minimization for a large class of insurance contracts. Given that the individual progress in time of visiting an insurance policy's states follows an F-doubly stochastic Markov chain, we describe different state-dependent types of insurance benefits. These cover single payments at...

Multivariate TVaR-based risk decomposition for vector-valued portfolios

Mailhot, Mélina; Mesfioui, Mhamed - In: Risks : open access journal 4 (2016) 4, pp. 1-16

In order to protect stakeholders of insurance companies and financial institutions against adverse outcomes of risky businesses, regulators and senior management use capital allocation techniques. For enterprise-wide risk management, it has become important to calculate the contribution of each...
