This paper mainly considers a nonstandard risk model with a constant interest rate‎, ‎where both the claim sizes and the inter-arrival times follow some certain dependence structures‎. ‎When the claim sizes are dominatedly varying-tailed‎, ‎asymptotics for the infinite time ruin probability of the above dependent risk model have been given‎.

Let C1, C2, . . . , Cm be independent subordinators with finite expectations and denote their sum by C. Consider the classical risk process X(t) = x+ct−C(t). The ruin probability is given by the well known Pollaczek-Hinchin formula. If ruin occurs, however, it will be caused by a jump of one of the subordinators whose sum constitutes C. Formulae for the probability that ruin is caused by Ci are...

Insurance claim practices determine the extent to which insurers will or will not honor their promises. This Article describes the failure in the market for claim practices, the failure of the regulatory responses to that failure, and the ways in which litigation can provide a partial corrective. The Article explains why the market fails to guarantee fair claim practices, how market forces migh...

To what extent is our perceptual experience influenced by higher cognitive phenomena like beliefs, desires, concepts, templates? Given recent arguments against the possibility of cognitive penetration, we present striking evidence against the impenetrability claims. The weak impenetrability claim cannot account for (1) extensive structural feedback organization of the brain, (2) temporally very...
