The surplus prior to ruin and the deficit at ruin for a correlated risk process

چکیده
This paper presents an explicit characterization for the joint probability density function of the surplus immediately prior to ruin and the deficit at ruin for a general risk process, which includes the Sparre-Andersen risk model with phase-type inter-claim times and claim sizes. The model can also accommodate a Markovian arrival process which enables claim sizes to be correlated with the inter-claim times. The marginal density function of the surplus immediately prior to ruin is specifically considered. Several numerical examples are presented to illustrate the application of this result.

Moments of the Surplus before Ruin and the Deficit at Ruin in the Erlang(2) Risk Process
This paper investigates the moments of the surplus before ruin and the deficit at ruin in the Erlang(2) risk process. Using the integro-differential equation that we establish, we obtain some explicit expressions for the moments. Furthermore, when the claim size is exponentially and subexponentially distributed, asymptotic relationships for the moments are derived as the initial capital tends t...
متن کاملPhase-type Approximation of the Gerber-shiu Function
The Gerber-Shiu function provides a way of measuring the risk of an insurance company. It is given by the expected value of a function that depends on the ruin time, the deficit at ruin, and the surplus prior to ruin. Its computation boils down to the evaluation of the overshoot/undershoot distributions of the surplus process at ruin. In this paper, we approximate it in a closed form by fitting...
متن کاملAnalysis of a Dividend Barrier Strategy for a Class of Markovian Risk Models
We consider a class of Markovian risk models in which the insurer collects premiums at rate c1 (c2) whenever the surplus level is below (above) a constant barrier level b. We derive the LaplaceStieltjes transform (LST) of the distribution of the time to ruin as well as the LST (with respect to time) of the joint distribution of the time to ruin, the surplus prior to ruin, and the deficit at ru...
متن کاملA note on a class of delayed renewal risk processes
The Gerber-Shiu discounted penalty function is considered for a class of delayed renewal risk processes. Special cases of the model include the stationary renewal risk model and the situation where the time until the first claim is exponentially distributed. A mathematically tractable formula is derived for the Gerber-Shiu function, and consequently for quantities associated with the deficit at...
متن کاملOn the Time Value of Absolute Ruin with Debit Interest
Assume that the surplus of an insurer follows a compound Poisson surplus process. When the surplus is below zero or the insurer is on deficit, the insurer could borrow money at a debit interest rate to pay claims. Meanwhile, the insurer will repay debts from her premium income. The negative surplus may return to a positive level if debts are reasonable. However, when the negative surplus is bel...
