Optimal Dynamic Ruin Probabilities for Heavy-Tailed Losses Under Reinsurance Strategies

2022-07-12
In recent years, extreme events are appearing to increase both in frequency and severity in many different areas. Insurance mechanism provides safe protection for extreme losses in the frame of risk management solutions. Reinsurance agreements that insurance companies apply to manage heavy-tailed risks and create free capital are also directly affected by these extreme events. Therefore, we first model the heavy-tailed loss distributions by using the dynamic EVT-GARCH combined model to fit the specific features of heavy-tailed and skewed insurance data and provide more accurate estimates than the classical models considering the structural changes in data. Secondly, we examine the effects of reinsurance strategies on the asymptotic probability of ruin of the Cramér-Lundberg risk process. With numerical examples, we aim to illustrate the optimal reinsurance strategy for the insurer and the reinsurer. Additionally, we derive the corresponding expected value premiums and tail risk measure Value at Risk (VaR) which also allows us to compare these strategies.

Rainfall-triggered landslides in an unsaturated soil: a laboratory flume study
Ahmadi-Adli, Mohammad; Huvaj Sarıhan, Nejan; Toker, Nabi Kartal (2017-11-01)
Extreme and/or prolonged rainfall events frequently cause landslides in many parts of the world. In this study, infiltration of rainfall into an unsaturated soil slope and triggering of landslides is studied through laboratory model (flume) tests, with the goal of obtaining the triggering rainfall intensity-duration (I-D) threshold. Flume tests with fine sand at two different relative densities (34 and 48%) and at slope angle of 56.5 degrees are prepared, and rainfall (intensity in the range of 18 to 64 mm/...
Evaluation of the WRF & WRF-Hydro modeling system to better understand the hydrometeorological interactions over humid and semi-arid climate conditions
Düzenli, Eren; Yılmaz, Mustafa Tuğrul; Yücel, İsmail; Department of Civil Engineering (2022-10-7)
Changing climate causes extreme weather events, such as heavy precipitation and flash floods, to occur more destructive and frequently. Thus, it is worthwhile to perform a reliable prediction of hydrometeorological circumstances reasonably before extreme events occur. Similarly, robust estimation of future weather conditions would contribute significantly to long-term water management issues, one of the most crucial problems of our time. Accordingly, this study evaluates the skill of (un)coupled WRF/WRF-Hyd...
Vulnerability of global primary food production against extreme climatic events in the context of food governance
Yeni, Filiz; Alpas, Hami; Güneş, Şule; Department of Earth System Science (2016)
According to latest reports of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, there is a trend demonstrating that the frequency and/or intensity of the extreme climatic events have been increasing, and duration of some extreme events has been changing substantially. Moreover, this trend is likely to continue in the current century, too. The ultimate goal of this study was to identify current vulnerabilities of global primary food production against extreme climatic events in terms of exposure and sensitivity, a...
Assessment of Index-based Drought Insurance
EVKAYA, ÖMER OZAN; YILDIRAK, ŞAHAP KASIRGA; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe (2017-04-01)
The increase in the frequency and severity of extreme weather events urge for the more powerful early warning systems and ex-post risk transfer mechanisms. Index-based insurance is an efficient risk management tool reducing the impacts of drought in agricultural insurance. The most feasible policy is the one that is directly based on the quantification of relation between index measure and the yield loss. Regardless of its efficiency, as an important caution, the insurer must be aware of the basis risk. In ...
Assessment of changes in climate indices of the mediterranean climate region of Turkey
Çetinkaya , İzem; Yücel, İsmail; Department of Civil Engineering (2020-10-28)
As a consequence of climate change, frequency and intensity changes in extreme weather events have occurred. One of the most vulnerable regions of the world that is affected by the climate change is the Mediterranean region. Turkey as a Mediterranean country has a great importance to investigate the changes in climate behavior. 57 stations from Mediterranean climate region of Turkey have been selected as the study area for this thesis. This study aims to assess the climate indices that carry the valua...
