Some applications and methods of large deviations in finance and insurance

چکیده
In these notes, we present some methods and applications of large deviations to finance and insurance. We begin with the classical ruin problem related to the Cramer’s theorem and give en extension to an insurance model with investment in stock market. We then describe how large deviation approximation and importance sampling are used in rare event simulation for option pricing. We finally focus on large deviations methods in risk management for the estimation of large portfolio losses in credit risk and portfolio performance in market investment.

متن کاملLarge deviations in mathematical finance ∗
The area of large deviations is a set of asymptotic results on rare events probabilities and a set of methods to derive such results. Large deviations theory is a very active field in applied probability, and finds important applications in finance, where questions related to extremal events play an increasingly major role. Financial applications are various, and range from Monte-Carlo methods ...
متن کاملLarge deviations and applications for Markovian Hawkes processes with a large initial intensity
Hawkes process is a class of simple point processes that is self-exciting and has clustering effect. The intensity of this point process depends on its entire past history. It has wide applications in finance, insurance, neuroscience, social networks, criminology, seismology, and many other fields. In this paper, we study linear Hawkes process with an exponential kernel in the asymptotic regime...

متن کاملFinancing Long-term Care: Some Ideas From Switzerland; Comment on “Financing Long-term Care: Lessons From Japan”
Ikegami reviews the implementation of mandatory long-term care insurance systems in Germany and Japan, which are organized as pay-as-you-go systems. I propose to go one step further and implement a multi-pillar, mandatory and voluntary long-term care financing system, which combines pay-as-you-go with capital-funded elements. The proposal is based on the observation tha...
