This paper studies bilateral risk-sharing with no aggregate uncertainty, when agents maximize rank-dependent utilities. We characterize the structure of Pareto optimal risk-sharing contracts in full generality. We then derive a necessary and sufficient condition for Pareto optima to be...

This paper analyzes optimal risk sharing among agents that are endowed with either expected utility preferences or with dual utility preferences. We find that Pareto optimal risk redistributions and the competitive equilibria can be obtained via bargaining with a hypothetical representative...

Optimal contracts have widely been studied in the literature, yet the bargaining for optimal prices has remained relatively unexplored. Therefore the key objective of this paper is to analyze the price of reinsurance contracts. We use a novel way to model the bargaining powers of the insurer and...

This paper studies a bilateral risk-sharing problem where both agents are rank-dependent utility maximizers. The market restricts risk allocations to be comonotonic. We first characterize the optimal risk allocation in an implicit way through the calculus of variations. Then, based on the...
