Taking Eco‐Social Risks Seriously: Explaining the Introduction of Compulsory Insurance for Natural Hazards

open access: yesRegulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Given the ongoing climate crisis, the frequency and severity of natural disasters are increasing. These events result in enormous reconstruction costs, pose a high burden on state budgets, and potentially drive homeowners into private insolvency.

Optimal Reinsurance Policies under the VaR Risk Measure When the Interests of Both the Cedent and the Reinsurer Are Taken into Account

open access: yesRisks, 2017
Optimal forms of reinsurance policies have been studied for a long time in the actuarial literature. Most existing results are from the insurer’s point of view, aiming at maximizing the expected utility or minimizing the risk of the insurer.

Optimal Reinsurance with One Insurer and Multiple Reinsurers [PDF]

open access: yesSSRN Electronic Journal, 2015
In this paper, we consider a one-period optimal reinsurance design model with n reinsurers and an insurer. For very general preferences of the insurer, we obtain that there exists a very intuitive pricing formula for all reinsurers that use a distortion premium principle.

Systemic risk in the insurance sector: A semi‐parametric approach based on Spearman's rho

open access: yesRisk Management and Insurance Review, EarlyView.
Abstract We propose a new method to measure systemic risk in the global insurance sector by analyzing interconnectedness among firms under different market conditions. Using a semi‐parametric approach that relies on the Spearman correlation and copula‐based partial dependence, we assess relationships in relatively stable, extremely bullish, and ...

Apparent Heavy Tails of Sub‐Daily Precipitation Explained by the Coexistence of Lighter‐Tailed Processes

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 2, 28 January 2026.
Abstract Extreme value theory is routinely applied to estimate rainfall frequency for several accumulation periods. Typically, it is found that sub‐daily precipitation has power‐type tails, meaning that the probability of observing increasingly large magnitudes decreases as a power law.

Optimal Dynamic Reinsurance [PDF]

open access: yesASTIN Bulletin, 2006
We consider a classical surplus process where the insurer can choose a different level of reinsurance at the start of each year. We assume the insurer’s objective is to minimise the probability of ruin up to some given time horizon, either in discrete or continuous time. We develop formulae for ruin probabilities under the optimal reinsurance strategy,

Return Period of Nonconcurrent Climate Compound Events: A Nonparametric Bivariate Generalized Pareto Approach

open access: yesEnvironmetrics, Volume 37, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Compound events (CEs), commonly defined as the “combination of multiple drivers and/or hazards that contributes to societal or environmental risk”, often result in amplified impacts compared to individual hazards. In order to estimate the return period of bivariate CEs, a novel nonparametric approach employing bivariate Generalized Pareto ...

Industrial Policy in Disguise: The French Treasury and the Reregulation of the European Insurance Sector

open access: yesJCMS: Journal of Common Market Studies, Volume 64, Issue 1, Page 194-213, January 2026.
Abstract In December 2023, the European Parliament and the Council reached an agreement to revise the Solvency II Directive, aiming to unlock €100 billion in private investment through a series of deregulatory measures. This marks a significant departure from the stringent insurance supervision framework that has shaped European policy since the ...
