Asymptotic tail probabilities for linear combinations of randomly weighted order statistics are approximated under various assumptions. One key assumption is the asymptotic independence for all risks. Therefore, it is not surprising that the maxima represents the most influential factor when one...

In this paper we derive the asymptotic behaviour of the survival function of both random sum and random maximum of log-normal risks. As for the case of finite sum and maximum investigated in Asmussen and Rojas-Nandayapa (2008) also for the more general setup of random sums and random maximum the...

Using the solution of one-sided exit problem, a procedure to price Parisian barrier options in a jump-diffusion model with two-sided exponential jumps is developed. By extending the method developed in Chesney, Jeanblanc-Picqué and Yor (1997; Brownian excursions and Parisian barrier options,...</italic>

This paper develops a stochastic model to assess storm risk in Austria, which relates wind speed and actual losses. By virtue of a building-stock-value-weighted wind index, we use suitably normalised historical loss data of residential buildings over 12 years and corresponding wind speed data to...
