The new results are applied to derive the asymptotic expansions of ratios of two kinds of risk measures, stop-loss premium and excess return on capital, respectively. Several examples and a Monte Carlo simulation study show the efficiency of our novel asymptotic expansions. Keywords smoothly varying condition, second-order regular variation, tail asymptotics, value-at-risk, con- ditional tail expectation, largest claims reinsurance, ratio of risk measure, excess return on capital展开更多

The exact null distribution is derived by the theory of sample spacings, and the asymptotic normality is also established by the large sample theory of L-statistics. Finally, the lower and upper tailed probability of the exact null distribution and some numerical simulation results are presented as well.展开更多
