A new method for modeling insurance claim frequencies using random proportions.
This paper suggests claim history will be deprecated in future auto insurance rates.
Study uses healthcare claims data to identify Covid-19 risk factors without prior selection.
In the context of a locally risk-minimizing approach, the problem of hedging defaultable claims and their Follmer-Schweizer decompositions are discussed in a structural model. This is done when the underlying process is a finite variation Levy process and the claims pay a predetermined payout at maturity, contingent on…
We consider a classical risk process with arrival of claims following a non-stationary Hawkes process. We study the asymptotic regime when the premium rate and the baseline intensity of the claims arrival process are large, and claim size is small. The main goal of the article is to establish a diffusion approximation …

Unified methods for hedging impermanent loss in decentralized exchanges.
Paper studies second order tail probabilities in risk models.
This paper solves robust utility maximization with unknown claim dependencies.
Financial undertakings often have to deal with liabilities of the form 'non-hedgeable claim size times value of a tradeable asset', e.g. foreign property insurance claims times fx rates. Which strategy to invest in the tradeable asset is risk minimal? We generalize the Gram-Charlier series for the sum of two dependent …
This paper studies the valuation of European contingent claims with short selling bans under the equal risk pricing (ERP) framework proposed in Guo and Zhu (2017) where analytical pricing formulae were derived in the case of monotonic payoffs under risk-neutral measures. We establish a unified framework for this new pr…
New risk measure improves creditor protection in financial regulation.
In this paper, we propose the discrete time Compound Beta-Binomial Risk Model with by-claims, delayed by-claims and randomized dividends. We then analyze the Gerber-Shiu function for the cases where the dividend threshold and under the assumption that the constant discount rate . More specifical…
We shall provide in this paper good deal pricing bounds for contingent claims induced by the shortfall risk with some loss function. Assumptions we impose on loss functions and contingent claims are very mild. We prove that the upper and lower bounds of good deal pricing bounds are expressed by convex risk measures on …
Optimizes insurance pricing to minimize ruin probability under various claim dependencies.
Study uses SVM to predict weather-induced home insurance claims and losses.
We analyze systems of agents sharing light-tailed risky claims issued by different financial objects. Assuming exponentially distributed claims, we obtain that both agents' and system's losses follow generalized exponential mixture distributions. We show that this leads to qualitatively different results on individual …
Paper introduces benchmark-neutral pricing for long-term contracts.
Study on hedging and valuation of basis risk in incomplete markets with partial information.
In this paper, we obtain the finite-horizon and infinite-horizon ruin probability asymptotics for risk processes with claims of subexponential tails for non-stationary arrival processes that satisfy a large deviation principle. As a result, the arrival process can be dependent, non-stationary and non-renewal. We give t…
This paper addresses the identification of insurance models with multidimensional screening where insurees have private information about their risk and risk aversion. The model includes a random damage and the possibility of several claims. Screening of insurees relies on their certainty equivalence. The paper then in…

Paper proposes optimal investment and reinsurance strategies considering financial and insurance risks dependence.
Study identifies risk factors for subsequent suicide attempts in youth.
Reflected geometric Brownian motion models are not arbitrage-free.
The study analyzes how bonus-malus systems and delayed claims settlement affect insurance companies' financial stability.
In incomplete financial markets not every contingent claim can be replicated by a self-financing strategy. The risk of the resulting shortfall can be measured by convex risk measures, recently introduced by Föllmer, Schied (2002). The dynamic optimization problem of finding a self-financing strategy that minimizes the …
We review the nature of some well-known phenomena such as volatility smiles, convexity adjustments and parallel derivative markets. We propose that the market is incomplete and postulate the existence of intrinsic risks in every contingent claim as a basis for understanding these phenomena. In a continuous time framewo…
Bayesian CART models improve insurance claims frequency prediction and interpretation.
The tail of the distribution of a sum of a random number of independent and identically distributed nonnegative random variables depends on the tails of the number of terms and of the terms themselves. This situation is of interest in the collective risk model, where the total claim size in a portfolio is the sum of a …
We study utility indifference prices and optimal purchasing quantities for a contingent claim, in an incomplete semi-martingale market, in the presence of vanishing hedging errors and/or risk aversion. Assuming that the average indifference price converges to a well defined limit, we prove that optimally taken position…
Synthetic telematics dataset created from insurance claims data.
Improved risk assessment for UBI using telematics data and AdaBoost.
We take the holistic approach of computing an OTC claim value that incorporates credit and funding liquidity risks and their interplays, instead of forcing individual price adjustments: CVA, DVA, FVA, KVA. The resulting nonlinear mathematical problem features semilinear PDEs and FBSDEs. We show that for the benchmark v…
Risk adjustment has become an increasingly important tool in healthcare. It has been extensively applied to payment adjustment for health plans to reflect the expected cost of providing coverage for members. Risk adjustment models are typically estimated using linear regression, which does not fully exploit the informa…
This paper introduces modal epistemic tools for risk management.
Analyzes valuation of derivative claims with asymmetric funding costs and WWR.
We model the influence of sharing large exogeneous losses to the reinsurance market by a bipartite graph. Using Pareto-tailed claims and multivariate regular variation we obtain asymptotic results for the Value-at-Risk and the Conditional Tail Expectation. We show that the dependence on the network structure plays a fu…
In an incomplete market setting, we consider two financial agents, who wish to price and trade a non-replicable contingent claim. Assuming that the agents are utility maximizers, we propose a transaction price which is a result of the minimization of a convex combination of their utility differences. We call this price…
In a discrete-time financial market, a generalized duality is established for model-free superhedging, given marginal distributions of the underlying asset. Contrary to prior studies, we do not require contingent claims to be upper semicontinuous, allowing for upper semi-analytic ones. The generalized duality stipulate…
In an incomplete Brownian-motion market setting, we propose a convex monotonic pricing functional for nonattainable bounded contingent claims which is compatible with prices for attainable claims. The pricing functional is defined as the convex conjugate of a generalized entropy penalty functional and an interpretation…
We develop a novel framework for computing the total valuation adjustment (XVA) of a European claim accounting for funding costs, counterparty credit risk, and collateralization. Based on no-arbitrage arguments, we derive the nonlinear backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) associated with the replicating p…
