Interplay of Insurance and Financial Risks with Bivariate Regular Variation

چکیده
It is known that for an insurer who invests in the financial market, the financial investments may affect its solvency as severely as do insurance claims. This conclusion is usually reached under an assumption of independence or asymptotic independence between insurance risk and financial risk. Such an assumption seems reasonable if the insurer focuses on the traditional insurance business that does not interact much with the capital market. However, we shall argue that at least for insurers who participate in financial guarantee insurance and as a result cause systemic risk, asymptotic dependence between insurance and financial risks needs to be considered. Under a bivariate regular variation structure, we investigate the interplay of insurance and financial risks, and show that the asymptotic dependence introduces extra risk for the insurer’s solvency.

Ruin with insurance and financial risks following the least risky FGM dependence structure
Recently, Chen (2011) studied the finite-time ruin probability in a discrete-time risk model in which the insurance and financial risks form a sequence of independent and identically distributed random pairs with common bivariate Farlie–Gumbel–Morgenstern (FGM) distribution. The parameter θ of the FGMdistribution governs the strength of dependence, with a smaller value of θ corresponding to a l...
متن کاملAsymptotic Estimates for the One-Year Ruin Probability under Risky Investments
Motivated by the EU Solvency II Directive, we study the one-year ruin probability of an insurer who makes investments and hence faces both insurance and financial risks. Over a time horizon of one year, the insurance risk is quantified as a nonnegative random variable X equal to the aggregate amount of claims, and the financial risk as a d-dimensional random vector Y consisting of stochastic di...
متن کاملThe Finite-time Ruin Probability with Dependent Insurance and Financial Risks
Consider a discrete-time insurance risk model. Within period i, the net insurance loss is denoted by a real-valued random variableXi . The insurer makes both risk-free and risky investments, leading to an overall stochastic discount factor Yi from time i to time i − 1. Assume that (Xi, Yi), i ∈ N, form a sequence of independent and identically distributed random pairs following a common bivaria...

Strategic management is one of the ways that could considerably help the Iranian insurance companies with a serious change so that they can be addressed on the world field. The results of researches indicate that many processes of strategy are leading to the failure in organizations. Strategies faced with failures, in addition to imposing additional expenditures to organization, leads to loss o...
متن کاملTwo parallel insurance lines with simultaneous arrivals and risks correlated with inter-arrival times
We investigate an insurance risk model that consists of two reserves which receive income at fixed rates. Claims are being requested at random epochs from each reserve and the interclaim times are generally distributed. The two reserves are coupled in the sense that at a claim arrival epoch, claims are being requested from both reserves and the amounts requested are correlated. In addition, the...
