Ruin Probability in Compound Poisson Process with Investment

Journal of Applied Mathematics, 2012
We consider that the surplus of an insurer follows compound Poisson process and the insurer would invest its surplus in risky assets, whose prices satisfy the Black-Scholes model. In the risk process, we decompose the ruin probability into the sum of two

The Force of Ruin [PDF]

, 2017
This paper introduces a hazard rate function for the time of ruin to calculate the conditional probability of ruin for very small time intervals. We call this function as the force of ruin (FoR). We obtain the expected time of ruin and conditional expected time of ruin from the exact finite time ruin probability with exponential claim amounts. Then, we

PRECISE ESTIMATES OF RUIN PROBABILITIES

Quantitative Methods in Economics, 2015
In this paper we investigate a sequence of accurate approximations of ruin probabilities in discrete time models. We prove its convergence to the exact ruin probability without any restrictive assumptions on the claim distribution. Numerical studies show

Ruin Machine

, 2013
The contemporary ruin today — in all its incarnations (from the aban-doned auto factories in Michigan to the World Trade Centers’ foot-print in NYC, Saddam Hussein’s elegant compounds in Baghdad that have since been converted into temporary barracks for the U.S. military — or from the vacant half-constructed towers in Dubai to the one billion squatters
