2 Introdction +X t t with initial reserve Historical model: for nidimensional risk processes R t = + X t, and with X t = ct S t, where c > is the premim income rate, S t = N(t) i=1 W i, the W i are i.i.d. nonnegative random variables, independent from (N(t)) t, with the convention that the sm is zero if N(t) =. Probability of rin: ψ() = P ( t, R t < ). Stéphane Loisel, September 5th, 25 2
3 Introdction +X t 1 2 t Two lines of bsiness: classical, 1-dimensional srpls process (black), 2-dimensional process (1 for each line of bsiness, ble and red). = Stéphane Loisel, September 5th, 25 3
4 Introdction 3 main directions: +X t +X t U b (t) +X t 1 b 2 t T t t Figre 1: K-dimensional process Figre 2: Finite-time. Figre 3: Dividends. How to model the stochastic dependence between the K lines of bsiness? Which rin concept? Within finite or infinite time? Rin or severity of rin? Optimal initial reserve allocation? How to measre risk and profit (dividends)? Stéphane Loisel, September 5th, 25 4

These risk measres may be differentiated with respect to the initial reserve. Fbini s theorem. Stéphane Loisel, September 5th, 25 17

32 strategy A general optimal reserve allocation Lagrange mltipliers:optimal allocation: there is a sbset J [1, K] sch that for j / J, j =, and for j, k J, Eτ j = Eτ k. In the Poisson-Exponential( 1 µ ) case, recall that EI = 1 µr cµr 3 e R. Consider a two-line model, with the following parameters: µ 1 = µ 2 = 1, c 1 = c 2 = 1, R 2 =.4 and = 1.

33 strategy A general optimal reserve allocation x x Figre 4: Graph of A(x,1 x). When R 1 =.5 > R 2, line of bsiness 1 is safer than line 2. : 1 < 2. The optimal allocation is abot ( 1 = 3.5, 2 = 6.5.) Figre 5: Graph of A(x, 1 x). When R 1 =.8 < R 2, line of bsiness 1 is mch riskier than line 2. : 1 = = 1 and 2 =. Transfer of the whole reserve to line 1. Stéphane Loisel, September 5th, 25 27
34 strategy A general optimal reserve allocation Consider the sm where B = K Eτ k( 1,..., K ) k=1 Eτ k( 1,..., K ) = E ( T 1 {R k t <}1 { K j=1 Rj t >}dt ) B takes dependence into accont, and the following proposition prescribes to do the same kind of reasoning: Proposition: Let X t = ct S t, where S t satisfies hypothesis (H1). Define B by B( 1,..., K ) = n k=1 E(τ k ( 1,..., K )) for R K. B is differentiable on (R +) K, and for 1,..., K >, B = 1 EN k c k( 1,..., K ), k ( where Nk ( ( 1,..., K ) = Card {t [, T], R k t = ) ( K ) ) j=1 Rj t > }.. Stéphane Loisel, September 5th, 25 28
35 strategy A general optimal reserve allocation It is also possible to differentiate with respect to c instead of. Theorem: With the previos notation, consider the case X t = ct S t, where S t satisfies hypothesis (H1), and define f(c) = E(I(c)). If for all c, Eτ (c) =, then f is differentiable on R and for c R, f (c) = T tp(r t < )dt. It is interesting to look for the optimal allocation of the global premim c = c c n becase if c i is small enogh to make the safety loading negative, the process Rt i tends to. Qite often, optimizing with the c i will be easier than with the i for this reason. These examples illstrate how these differentiation reslts may be sed. The differentiation developed here is qite general and may be sefl to solve many problems involving mlti-risks models. Stéphane Loisel, September 5th, 25 29
