This paper investigates the limiting distributions of the component-wise maxima and minima of suitably normalized iid multivariate phase-type random vectors. In the case of maxima, a large parametric class of multivariate extreme value (MEV) distributions is obtained. The flexibility of this new...

This paper exploits a stochastic representation of bivariate elliptical distributions in order to obtain asymptotic results which are determined by the tail behavior of the generator. Under certain specified assumptions, we present the limiting distribution of component-wise maxima, the limiting...

We consider an extension of the classical compound Poisson risk model, where the waiting time between two consecutive claims and the forthcoming claim are no longer independent. Asymptotic tail probabilities of the reinsurance amount under ECOMOR and LCR treaties are obtained. Simulation results...

We develop portfolio optimization problems to a non-life insurance company for finding the minimum capital required, which simultaneously satisfy solvency and portfolio performance constraints. Motivated by standard insurance regulations, we consider solvency capital requirements based on three...

Evaluating risk measures, premiums, and capital allocation based on dependent multi-losses is a notoriously difficult task. In this paper, we demonstrate how this can be successfully accomplished when losses follow the multivariate Pareto distribution of the second kind, which is an attractive...

Optimal risk transfers are derived within an insurance group consisting of two separate legal entities, operating under potentially different regulatory capital requirements and capital costs. Consistently with regulatory practice, capital requirements for each entity are computed by either a...

This paper presents an extension of the classical compound Poisson risk model for which the inter-claim time and the forthcoming claim amount are no longer independent random variables. Asymptotic tail probabilities for the discounted aggregate claims are presented when the force of interest is...

The risk exposure of a business line could be perceived in many ways and is sensitive to the exercise that is performed. One way is to understand the effect of some common/reference risk over the performance of the business line in question, but irrespective of the modelling exercise, the...

Decision-makers who usually face model/parameter risk may prefer to act prudently by identifying optimal contracts that are robust to such sources of uncertainty. In this paper, we tackle this issue under a finite uncertainty set that contains a number of probability models that are candidates...

In various fields of applications such as capital allocation, sensitivity analysis and systemic risk evaluation, one often needs to compute or estimate the expectation of a random variable given that another random variable is equal to its quantile at some pre-specified probability level. A...
