Abstract
This is a summary of the main topics and findings from the Swiss Risk and Insurance Forum 2015. That event gathered experts from academia, insurance industry, regulatory bodies, and consulting companies to discuss the past and current developments and necessary next steps for dealing with old-age provision. Topics include the pension funding gap, demographic and societal challenges, the valuation of pension liabilities, economic and regulatory capital models, and the role of financial markets.

Abstract
For a spectrally one-sided Levy process, we extend various two-sided exit identities to the situation when the process is only observed at arrival epochs of an independent Poisson process. In addition, we consider exit problems of this type for processes reflected either from above or from below. The resulting Laplace transforms of the main quantities of interest are in terms of scale functions and turn out to be simple analogues of the classical formulas.

Abstract
We consider a capital-exchange agreement, where two insurers recapitalize each other in certain situations with funds they would otherwise use for dividend payments. We derive equations characterizing the expected time of ruin and the expected value of the respective discounted dividends until ruin, if dividends are paid according to a barrier strategy. In a Monte Carlo simulation study we illustrate the potential advantages of this type of collaboration.

Abstract
Consider Wald's sequential probability ratio test for deciding whether a sequence of independent and identically distributed observations comes from a specified phase-type distribution or from an exponentially tilted alternative distribution. Exact decision boundaries for given type-I and type-II errors are derived by establishing a link with ruin theory. Information on the mean sample size of the test can be retrieved as well. The approach relies on the use of matrix-valued scale functions associated with a certain one-sided Markov additive process. By suitable transformations, the results also apply to other types of distributions, including some distributions with regularly varying tails.

Abstract
Taxed risk processes, i.e. processes which change their drift when reaching new maxima, represent a certain type of generalizations of Lévy and of Markov additive processes (MAP), since the times at which their Markovian mechanism changes are allowed to depend on the current position. In this paper we study generalizations of the tax identity of Albrecher and Hipp (2007) from the classical risk model to more general risk processes driven by spectrally-negative MAPs. We use the Sparre Andersen risk processes with phase-type interarrivals to illustrate the ideas in their simplest form.

Abstract
In this note we provide a simple alternative probabilistic derivation of an explicit formula of Kwan and Yang (2007) for the probability of ruin in a risk model with a certain dependence between general claim interoccurrence times and subsequent claim sizes of conditionally exponential type. The approach puts the type of formula in a general context, illustrating the potential for similar simple ruin probability expressions in more general risk models with dependence.

Abstract
In this paper we study a spectrally negative Lévy process which is refracted at its running maximum and at the same time reflected from below at a certain level. Such a process can for instance be used to model an insurance surplus process subject to tax payments according to a loss-carry-forward scheme together with the flow of minimal capital injections required to keep the surplus process non-negative. We characterize the first passage time over an arbitrary level and the cumulative amount of injected capital up to this time by their joint Laplace transform, and show that it satisfies a simple power relation to the case without refraction, generalizing results by Albrecher and Hipp (2007) and Albrecher, Renaud and Zhou (2008). It turns out that this identity can also be extended to a certain type of refraction from below. The net present value of tax collected before the cumulative injected capital exceeds a certain amount is determined, and a numerical illustration is provided.

Abstract
Assume that claims in a portfolio of insurance contracts are described by independent and identically distributed random variables with regularly varying tails and occur according to a near mixed Poisson process. We provide a collection of results pertaining to the joint asymptotic Laplace transforms of the normalised sums of the smallest and largest claims, when the length of the considered time interval tends to infinity. The results crucially depend on the value of the tail index of the claim distribution, as well as on the number of largest claims under consideration.

Abstract
In the framework of collective risk theory, we consider a compound Poisson risk model for the surplus process where the process (and hence ruin) can only be observed at random observation times. For Erlang(n) distributed inter-observation times, explicit expressions for the discounted penalty function at ruin are derived. The resulting model contains both the usual continuous-time and the discrete-time risk model as limiting cases, and can be used as an effective approximation scheme for the latter. Numerical examples are given that illustrate the effect of random observation times on various ruin-related quantities.

Abstract
In this paper we develop a symbolic technique to obtain asymptotic expressions for ruin probabilities and discounted penalty functions in renewal insurance risk models when the premium income depends on the present surplus of the insurance portfolio. The analysis is based on boundary problems for linear ordinary differential equations with variable coefficients. The algebraic structure of the Green's operators allows us to develop an intuitive way of tackling the asymptotic behavior of the solutions, leading to exponential-type expansions and Cramer-type asymptotics. Furthermore, we obtain closed-form solutions for more specific cases of premium functions in the compound Poisson risk model.

Albrecher H., Guillaume F. & Schoutens W. (2013). Implied liquidity: model sensitivity. Journal of Empirical Finance, 23, 48-67. [doi] [pdf] [web of science] [abstract]

Abstract
The concept of implied liquidity originates from the conic finance theory and more precisely from the law of two prices where market participants buy from the market at the ask price and sell to the market at the lower bid price. The implied liquidity λ of any financial instrument is determined such that both model prices fit as well as possible the bid and ask market quotes. It reflects the liquidity of the financial instrument: the lower the λ, the higher the liquidity. The aim of this paper is to study the evolution of the implied liquidity pre- and post-crisis under a wide range of models and to study implied liquidity time series which could give an insight for future stochastic liquidity modeling. In particular, we perform a maximum likelihood estimation of the CIR, Vasicek and CEV mean-reverting processes applied to liquidity and volatility time series. The results show that implied liquidity is far less persistent than implied volatility as the liquidity process reverts much faster to its long-run mean. Moreover, a comparison of the parameter estimates between the pre- and post-credit crisis periods indicates that liquidity tends to decrease and increase for long and short term options, respectively, during troubled periods.

Albrecher H. & Ivanovs J. (2013). A risk model with an observer in a Markov environment. Risks, 1(3), 148-161. [doi] [pdf] [abstract]

Abstract
We consider a spectrally-negative Markov additive process as a model of a risk process in a random environment. Following recent interest in alternative ruin concepts, we assume that ruin occurs when an independent Poissonian observer sees the process as negative, where the observation rate may depend on the state of the environment. Using an approximation argument and spectral theory, we establish an explicit formula for the resulting survival probabilities in this general setting. We also discuss an efficient evaluation of the involved quantities and provide a numerical illustration.

Albrecher H. & Lautscham V. (2013). From ruin to bankruptcy for compound Poisson surplus processes. ASTIN Bulletin, 43(2), 213-243. [doi] [pdf] [web of science] [abstract]

Abstract
In classical risk theory, the infinite-time ruin probability of a surplus process Ct is calculated as the probability of the process becoming negative at some point in time. In this paper, we consider a relaxation of the ruin concept to the concept of bankruptcy, according to which one has a positive surplus-dependent probability to continue despite temporary negative surplus. We study the resulting bankruptcy probability for the compound Poisson risk model with exponential claim sizes for different bankruptcy rate functions, deriving analytical results, upper and lower bounds as well as an efficient simulation method. Numerical examples are given and the results are compared with the classical ruin probabilities. Finally, it is illustrated how the analysis can be extended to study the discounted penalty function under this relaxed ruin criterion.

Abstract
This paper investigates the effects on the company value for shareholders of keeping equalization reserves for catastrophic risk in an insurance company. We perform an extensive simulation study to compare the performance of the company with and without equalization reserves for several standard profitability measures. Equalization reserves turn out to be beneficial for shareholders in terms of the resulting expected Sharpe ratio and also with respect to the value of the call option on assets at some reasonably large maturity time. Moreover, the expected total discounted tax payments are not smaller when using equalization reserves. The results are robust with respect to model parameters such as interest rate, time horizon, cost of raising capital and business cycle dynamics.

Abstract
We study the asymptotic behavior of ℙ(X − Y > u) as u → ∞, where X is subexponential, Y is positive, and the random variables X and Y may be dependent. We give criteria under which the subtraction of Y does not change the tail behavior of X. It is also studied under which conditions the comonotonic copula represents the worst-case scenario for the asymptotic behavior in the sense of minimizing the tail of X − Y. Some explicit construction of the worst-case copula is provided in other cases.

Abstract
We consider a renewal jump-diffusion process, more specifically a renewal insurance risk model with investments in a stock whose price is modeled by a geometric Brownian motion. Using Laplace transforms and regular variation theory, we introduce a transparent and unifying analytic method for investigating the asymptotic behavior of ruin probabilities and related quantities, in models with light- or heavy-tailed jumps, whenever the distribution of the time between jumps has rational Laplace transform.

Abstract
Using the solution of one-sided exit problem, a procedure to price Parisian barrier options in a jump-diffusion model with two-sided exponential jumps is developed. By extending the method developed in Chesney, Jeanblanc-Picqué and Yor (1997; Brownian excursions and Parisian barrier options, Advances in Applied Probability, 29(1), pp. 165-184) for the diffusion case to the more general set-up, we arrive at a numerical pricing algorithm that significantly outperforms Monte Carlo simulation for the prices of such products.

Abstract
This paper develops a stochastic model to assess storm risk in Austria, which relates wind speed and actual losses. By virtue of a building-stock-value-weighted wind index, we use suitably normalised historical loss data of residential buildings over 12 years and corresponding wind speed data to calibrate the model. Subsequently, additional wind speed data is used to generate further scenarios and to obtain loss curves for storm risk that give rise to storm insurance loss quantiles and corresponding solvency capital requirements both on the aggregate and on the regional level. We also investigate the diversification effect across regions and use tools from extreme value theory to assess the insurability of storm risk in Austria in general.
