A Simple Estimation of Parameters for Discrete Distributions from the Schröter Family [PDF]
One of the common challenges in actuarial mathematics is finding a model for the number of claims and claim severity. We focus on one of the suggested models, namely, on the Schröter family of discrete probability distributions. Furthermore, we introduce

On the effects of changing mortality patterns on investment, labour and consumption under uncertainty [PDF]
In this paper we extend the consumption-investment life cycle model for an uncertain-lived agent, proposed by Richard (1974), to allow for exible labor supply.

Uniform Asymptotic Probability for Multi Renewal Risk Model with Strong Subexponential Tailed Claims [PDF]
In this paper, we study the uniform asymptotic behavior for the ruin probability in a continuous time renewal counting process. For the proposed model, we assume that the financial claims for each extreme event are compensated by a finite number of ...

Sharp convex bounds on the aggregate sums--An alternative proof [PDF]
It is well known that a random vector with given marginal distributions is comonotonic if and only if it has the largest sum with respect to the convex order [ Kaas, Dhaene, Vyncke, Goovaerts, Denuit (2002), A simple geometric proof that comonotonic ...

Measuring economic inequality and risk: a unifying approach based on personal gambles, societal preferences and references [PDF]
The underlying idea behind the construction of indices of economic inequality is based on measuring deviations of various portions of low incomes from certain references or benchmarks, that could be point measures like population mean or median, or ...
