內容簡介
This book is a second edition of the book of the same title by the first authorwhich was published in 2000. The subject of ruin probabilities and related top- ics has since then undergone a considerable development, not to say boom. This much expanded and revised second edition aims at covering a substantial part of these developments as well as the classical topics.
R,isk theory in general and ruin probabilities in particular are traditionally considered as part of insurance mathematics, and has been an active area of research from the days of Lundberg all the way up to today. One reason for writing tlus book is a feeling that the area has in recent years achieved a con-siderable mathematical maturity, which has in particular removed one of the standard criticisms of the area, namely that it can only say something about very simple models and questions. Although in insurance practice, usually sim- pler (and coarser) risk measures like Value-at-Risk are used, it is widely believed that the thinking advocated by ruin theory is still important for modern risk management. For instance, in times of market-consistent valuation principles, the role of the time diversification effect of insurance portfolios, which is one of the core elements of ruin theory, should not be forgotten. In addition, ruin the- ory has fruitful methodological links and applications to other fields of applied probability, like queueing theory and mathematical finance (pricing of barrier options, credit products etc.). Apart from these remarks, we have deliberately stayed away from discussing the practical relevance of the theory; if the formu- lations occasionally give a different impression, it is not by intention. Thus, the book is basically mathematical in its flavor.
