Abstract

In this paper, we consider the classical yet widely applicable Cramer-Lundberg risk model with Pareto distributed claim sizes. Building on the previously known expression for the ruin probability we derive distributions of different ruin-related quantities. The results rely on the theory of scale functions and are intended to illustrate the simplicity and effectiveness of the theory. A particular emphasis is put on the tail behavior of the distributions of ruin-related quantities and their tail index value is established. Numerical illustrations are provided to show the influence of the claim sizes distribution tail index on the tails of the ruin-related quantities distribution.
