Abstract In this paper a continuous-time model of a reinsurance market is presented, which contains the principal components of uncertainty transparent in such a market: Uncertainty about the time instants at which accidents take place, and uncertainty about claim sizes given that accidents have occurred. Due to random jumps at random time points of the underlying claims processes, the absence of arbitrage opportunities is not sufficient to give unique premium functionals in general. Market preferences are derived under a necessary condition for a general exchange equilibrium. Information constraints are found under which premiums of risks are determined. It is demonstrated how general reinsurance treaties can be uniquely split into proportional contracts and nonproportional ones. Several applications to reinsurance markets are given, and the results are compared to the corresponding theory of the classical one-period model of a reinsurance syndicate. This paper attempts to reach a synthesis between the c...
