The finite-time ruin probability of a discrete-time risk model with GARCH discounted factors and dependent risks

Abstract

ABSTRACTThe finite-time ruin probability of a discrete-time risk model with dependent stochastic discount factors and dependent insurance and financial risks is investigated in this paper. Assume that the stochastic discount factors follow a GARCH process and the one-period insurance and financial risks form a sequence of independent and identically distributed random pairs, which are the copies of a random pair with a bivariate Sarmanov dependent distribution. When the common distribution of claim-sizes is heavy-tailed, we establish an asymptotic estimate for the finite-time ruin probability. Applying the result to a special case, we also get conservative asymptotic bounds. A numerical simulation is given at the end of the paper.
