چکیده
In this paper we give an introduction to collective risk theory in its simplest form. Our aims are to indicate how some basic facts may be obtained by martingale methods and to point out some open problems

Gambler’s Ruin with Catastrophes and Windfalls
We compute ruin probabilities, in both infinite-time and finite-time, for a Gambler’s Ruin problem with both catastrophes and windfalls in addition to the customary win/loss probabilities. For constant transition probabilities, the infinite-time ruin probabilities are derived using difference equations. Finite-time ruin probabilities of a system having constant win/loss probabilities and variab...
متن کاملRuin probabilities under general investments and heavy-tailed claims
In this paper we study the asymptotic decay of finite time ruin probabilities for an insurance company that faces heavy-tailed claims, uses predictable investment strategies and makes investments in risky assets whose prices evolve according to quite general semimartingales. We show that the ruin problem corresponds to determining hitting probabilities for the solution to a randomly perturbed s...
متن کاملFinite- and Infinite-time Ruin Probabilities in the Presence of Stochastic Returns on Investments
This paper investigates the finiteand infinite-time ruin probabilities in a discrete-time stochastic economic environment. Under the assumption that the insurance risk – the total net loss within one time period – is extended-regularly-varying tailed or rapidly-varying tailed, various precise estimates for the ruin probabilities are derived. In particular, some estimates obtained are uniform wi...
متن کاملA Hyperexponential Approximation to Finite-Time and Infinite-Time Ruin Probabilities of Compound Poisson Processes
This article considers the problem of evaluating infinite-time (or finite-time) ruin probability under a given compound Poisson surplus process by approximating the claim size distribution by a finite mixture exponential, say Hyperexponential, distribution. It restates the infinite-time (or finite-time) ruin probability as a solvable ordinary differential equation (or a partial differential equ...
متن کاملRuin Analysis of a Discrete-Time Dependent Sparre Andersen Model with External Financial Activities and Randomized Dividends
We consider a discrete-time dependent Sparre Andersen risk model which incorporates multiple threshold levels characterizing an insurer’s minimal capital requirement, dividend paying situations, and external financial activities. We focus on the development of a recursive computational procedure to calculate the finite-time ruin probabilities and expected total discounted dividends paid prior t...
