Pareto-Optimal Reinsurance Based on TVaR Premium Principle and Vajda Condition

Reinsurance is an effective risk management tool for insurers to stabilize their profitability. In a typical reinsurance treaty, an insurer cedes part of the loss to a reinsurer. As the insurer faces an increasing number of total losses in the insurance market, the insurer might expect the reinsurer to bear an increasing proportion of the total loss, that is the insurer might expect the reinsurer to pay an increasing proportion of the total claim amount when he faces an increasing number of total claims in the insurance market. Motivated by this, we study the optimal reinsurance problem under the Vajda condition. To prevent moral hazard and reflect the spirit of reinsurance, we assume that the retained loss function is increasing and the ceded loss function satisfies the Vajda condition. We derive the explicit expression of the optimal reinsurance under the TVaR risk measure and TVaR premium principle from the perspective of both an insurer and a reinsurer. Our results show that the explicit expression of the optimal reinsurance is in the form of two or three interconnected line segments. Under an additional mild constraint, we get the optimal parameters and find the optimal reinsurance strategy is full reinsurance, no reinsurance, stop loss reinsurance, or quota-share reinsurance. Finally, we gave an example to analyze the impact of the weighting factor on optimal reinsurance.

Risk Measure and Premium Distribution on Catastrophe Reinsurance

In this paper, we propose a new risk measure which is based on the Or- licz premium principle to characterize catastrophe risk premium. The intention is to develop a formulation strategy for Catastrophe Fund. The logarithm equivalent form of reinsurance premium is regarded as the retention of reinsurer, and the differential earnings between the reinsurance premium and the reinsurer＇s retention is accumu- lated as a part of Catastrophe Fund. We demonstrate that the aforementioned risk measure has some good properties, which are further confirmed by numerical simu- lations in R environment.

VAR AND CTE BASED OPTIMAL REINSURANCE FROM A REINSURER'S PERSPECTIVE

In this article,we study optimal reinsurance design.By employing the increasing convex functions as the admissible ceded loss functions and the distortion premium principle,we study and obtain the optimal reinsurance treaty by minimizing the VaR(value at risk)of the reinsurer's total risk exposure.When the distortion premium principle is specified to be the expectation premium principle,we also obtain the optimal reinsurance treaty by minimizing the CTE(conditional tail expectation)of the reinsurer's total risk exposure.The present study can be considered as a complement of that of Cai et al.[5].

The Credibility Premiums for Exponential Principle

In the classical credibility theory, the credibility premium is derived on the basis of pure premium. However, the insurance practice demands that the premium must be charged under some adaptable premium principle and serves the purpose for insurance business. In this paper, the balanced credibility models have been built under exponential principle, and the credibility estimator of individual exponential premium is derived. This result is also extended to the versions of multitude contracts, and the estimation of the structure parameters is investigated. Finally, the simulations have been introduced to show the consistency of the credibility estimator and its differences from the classical one.
