In the compound Poisson insurance risk model under a dividend barrier strategy, this paper aims to analyze jointly the aggregate discounted claim amounts until ruin and the total discounted dividends until ruin, which represent the insurer’s payments to its policyholders and shareholders, respectively. To this end, we introduce a Gerber–Shiu-type function, which further incorporates the higher ...

For a general penalty function, the expected discounted penalty at ruin was considered by, for example, Gerber and Shiu(1998) and Gerber and Landry (1998) in insurance literature. On the other hand, many pricing functionals in mathematical finance(e.g., options pricing, credit risk modelling) can be formulated in terms of expected discounted penalties. Under the assumption that the asset value ...

Accordingly, dentures must be stable in use with good adaptation to the underlying tissues and be in harmony with the temporomandibular joints. Whist all the factors governing alveolar bone resorption are not fully known, most authorities agree that unstable dentu...

This essay corrects the results reported in Gerber and Green 2000 and replies to Imai (2005). When data-processing errors are repaired, the original substantive findings from the New Haven experiment remain unchanged. As previously reported, brief phone calls do not increase voter turnout. The “correction” that Imai (2005) offers, which purports to show that these phone calls produce large, sig...
