We study economic pricing of reinsurance contracts via competition of an insurer with multiple reinsurers. All firms are endowed with distortion risk measures or expected exponential utilities. We require that contracts are Pareto optimal, individually rational, and satisfy a competition...

This paper studies a one-period stochastic game to determine the optimal premium strategies of non-life insurers in a competitive market. Specifically, the optimal premium strategy is determined by the Nash equilibrium of an n-player game, in which each player is assumed to maximise the expected...

This paper studies an optimal insurance problem with finitely many potential policyholders. A monopolistic, risk-neutral insurer offers an insurance contract, and exponential utility maximizing individuals accept the offer or not. We allow for heterogeneity in the preferences of the individuals,...

This paper presents a model of a multi-divisional firm to share the joint yet uncertain and fixed cost of running a central operational unit. A firm aims at allocating this cost ex ante, subject to constraints imposed by the asymmetric and limited liabilities of the different divisions. We study...

Existing literature regarding the natural hedge potential that arises from combining liabilities with different sensitivities focuses on the optimal liability mix, but does not address the question whether and how changes in the liability mix can be obtained. In the absence of a well-functioning...

Existing risk capital allocation methods, such as the Euler rule, work under the explicit assumption that portfolios are formed as linear combinations of random loss/profit variables, with the firm being able to choose the portfolio weights. This assumption is unrealistic in an insurance...

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 introduces the family of Weighted Aumann-Shapley values for piecewise linear fuzzy games. The regular Aumann-Shapley value is not well-defined in case some differentiability condition is not satisfied. As an alternative, we introduce a family of allocation rules inspired by the...
