Abstract

This paper constructs a Sparre Andersen risk model with a constant dividend barrier in which the claim interarrival distribution is a mixture of an exponential distribution and an Erlang(n) distribution. We derive the integro-differential equation satisfied by the Gerber-Shiu discounted penalty function of this risk model. Finally, we provide a numerical example.

Highlights

  • In recent years the Sparre Andersen model has been studied extensively

  • I=1 where u ≥ 0 represents the initial capital, c is the insurer’s rate of premium income per unit time, and {N(t), t ≥ 0} is the claim number process representing the number of claims up to time t. {Xi, i ≥ 1} is a sequence of i.i.d. random variables representing the individual claim amounts with distribution function F(x) and density function f(x) with mean μ

  • We study the Sparre Andersen risk model with a constant dividend barrier and the claim interarrival distribution is a mixture of an exponential distribution and an Erlang(n) distribution

Summary

The Risk Model

We will study the time of ruin Tb and its related functions such as the surplus before ruin Ub(Tb−) and the deficit at ruin |Ub(Tb)|. If we let ω(x, y) = 1, (4) is the Laplace transform of the time of ruin Tb. If we let δ = 0 and ω(x, y) = 1, mb(u) becomes the ruin probability ψ(u). If we let δ = 0 and ω(x, y) = I(x ≤ z1)I(y ≤ z2), (4) becomes the joint df of the surplus before ruin and the deficit at ruin. If δ = 0 and ω(x, y) = x1n, we obtain the nth moment of the surplus before ruin. If δ = 0 and ω(x, y) = x2n, we obtain the nth moment of the deficit at ruin.
