In risk management, ignoring the dependence among various types of claims often results in over-estimating or under-estimating the ruin probabilities of a portfolio. This paper focuses on three commonly used ruin probabilities in multivariate compound risk models, and using the comparison methods, shows how some ruin probabilities increase, whereas the other decreases, as the claim dependence g...

Periodicity and Ruin Probabilities for Compound Non-Homogenous Poisson Processes Compound non-homogenous Poisson processes with periodic claim intensity rates are stiidied in this work. A risk process related to a short term periodic environment and the periodicity for its compound claim counting process are discussed. The ruin probabilities of compo~md non-homogenous Poisson processes with per...

For a random walk with negative drift we study the exceedance probability (ruin probability) of a high threshold. The steps of this walk (claim sizes) constitute a stationary ergodic stable process. We study how ruin occurs in this situation and evaluate the asymptotic behavior of the ruin probability for a large variety of stationary ergodic stable processes. Our ndings show that the order of ...

We consider the optimal dividends problem for a company whose cash reserves follow a general Lévy process with certain positive jumps and arbitrary negative jumps. The objective is to find a policy which maximizes the expected discounted dividends until the time of ruin. Under appropriate conditions, we use some recent results in the theory of potential analysis of subordinators to obtain the c...

A risk process with constant premium rate c and Poisson arrivals of claims is considered. A threshold r is defined for claim interarrival times, such that if k consecutive interarrival times are larger than r, then the next claim has distribution G. Otherwise, the claim size distribution is F . Asymptotic expressions for the infinite horizon ruin probabilities are given for both lightand the he...

This paper establishes some asymptotic results for both finite and ultimate ruin probabilities in a discrete time risk model with constant interest rates, and individual net losses in R−α, the class of regular variation with index α > 0. The individual net losses are allowed to be generally dependent while they have zero index of upper tail dependence, so that our results partially generalize t...
