In this article, we show that some important implications concerning comonotonic couples and corresponding convex order relations for their sums cannot be translated to counter-monotonicity in general. In a financial context, it amounts to saying that merging counter-monotonic positions does not...

In this article, we show, in the context of partial hedging, that some important relationships about comonotonicity and convex order cannot be translated to counter-monotonicity in general because of the possibility of over-hedging. We propose a new notion called proper hedge that can e...

In this paper we examine and summarize properties of several well-known risk measures that can be used in the framework of setting solvency capital requirements for a risky business. Special attention is given to the class of (concave) distortion risk measures. We investigate the relationship...
