This paper presents a new axiomatic characterization of risk measures that are additive for independent random variables. In contrast to previous work, we include an axiom that guarantees monotonicity of the risk measure. Furthermore, the axiom of additivity for independent random variables is...

SUMMARY The purpose of our paper is to link some results on the Choquet integrals with the theory of coherent risk measures. Using this link we establish some properties of dilatation monotone and comonotonic coherent measures of risk. In particular it is shown that on an atomless probability...

The computation of various risk metrics is essential to the quantitative risk management of variable annuity guaranteed bene ts. The current market practice of Monte Carlo simulation often requires intensive computations, which can be very costly for insurance companies to implement and take so...

It is well known that a random vector with given marginals is comonotonic if and only if it has the largest convex sum, and that a random vector with given marginals (under an additional condition) is mutually exclusive if and only if it has the minimal convex sum. This paper provides an...
