Abstract

ABSTRACT The Bowley solution refers to the optimal pricing density for the reinsurer and optimal ceded loss for the insurer when there is a monopolistic reinsurer. In a sequential game, the reinsurer first sets the pricing kernel, and thereafter the insurer selects the reinsurance contract given the pricing kernel. In this article, we study Bowley solutions under asymmetric information on the insurer's risk preferences where the identity of the insurer is unknown to the reinsurer. By assuming that the insurer adopts a Value-at-Risk measure or a convex distortion risk measure, the optimal pricing kernel for the insurer and the optimal ceded loss function for the reinsurer are determined. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the results.
