Comonotonicity and Maximal Stop-Loss Premiums∗

چکیده
In this paper, we investigate the relationship between comonotonicity and stoploss order. We prove our main results by using a characterization of stop-loss order within the framework of Yaari’s (1987) dual theory of choice under risk. Wang and Dhaene (1997) explore related problems in the case of bivariate random variables. We extend their work to an arbitrary sum of random variables and present several examples illustrating our results.

Comonotonicity, Correlation Order and Premium Principles
In this paper, we investigate the notion of dependency between risks and its effect on the related stop-loss premiums. The concept of comonotonicity, being an extreme case of dependency, is discussed in detail. For the bivariate case, it is shown that, given the distributions of the individual risks, comonotonicity leads to maximal stop-loss premiums. Some properties of stop-loss order preservi...
متن کاملRisk premiums and certainty equivalents of loss-averse newsvendors of bounded utility
Loss-averse behavior makes the newsvendors avoid the losses more than seeking the probable gains as the losses have more psychological impact on the newsvendor than the gains. In economics and decision theory, the classical newsvendor models treat losses and gains equally likely, by disregarding the expected utility when the newsvendor is loss-averse. Moreover, the use of unbounded utility to m...
متن کاملThe safest dependence structure among risks
In this paper we investigate the dependence in Fréchet spaces containing mutually exclusive risks. It is shown that, under some reasonable assumptions, the safest dependence structure, in the sense of the minimal stop-loss premiums for the aggregate claims involved, is obtained with the Fréchet lower bound and precisely corresponds to the mutually exclusive risks of the Fréchet space. In that r...
متن کاملApproximation of bivariate copulas by patched bivariate Fréchet copulas
Bivariate Fréchet (BF) copulas characterize dependence as a mixture of three simple structures: comonotonicity, independence and countermonotonicity. They are easily interpretable but have limitations when used as approximations to general dependence structures. To improve the approximation property of the BF copulas and keep the advantage of easy interpretation, we develop a new copula approxi...
متن کاملSome useful counterexamples regarding comonotonicity
This article gives counterexamples for some conjectures about risk orders. One is that in risky situations, diversification is always beneficial. A counterexample is provided by the Cauchy distribution, for which the sample means have the same distribution as the sample elements, meaning that insuring half the sum of two iid risks of this type is precisely equivalent to insuring one of them ful...
