Moura" ], "categories": [ "math.PR", "q-fin.RM" ], "abstract": "We consider the optimal reinsurance problem from the point of view of a direct insurer owning several dependent risks, assuming a maximal expected utility criterion and independent negotiation of reinsurance for each risk. Without any particular hypothesis on the dependency structure, we show that optimal treaties exist in a class of independent randomized contracts. We derive optimality conditions and show that under mild assumptions the optimal contracts are of classical (non-randomized) type. A specific form of the optimality conditions applies in that case. We illustrate the results with some numerical examples.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-09-25T14:43:12.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "generic dependence structures", "multiple risks", "optimality conditions applies", "optimal reinsurance problem", "maximal expected utility criterion" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
