Abstract

In distinction to the Borch’s model of a reinsurance market, this paper treats the problem of optimal risk exchange in an insurance market where treaties are allowed between the insurer and each insured only, not among insureds themselves. A characterization of the Pareto-optimal contract is found. It is shown that the indemnity function in the contract is of a coinsurance kind. We also present a way of finding Pareto-optimal contracts under individual rationality constraints. The obtained results are compared with those of the known model of risk exchange in a reinsurance market.
