Synopsis

The book is a comprehensive treatment of classical and modern ruin probability theory. Some of the topics are Lundberg's inequality, the Cramér-Lundberg approximation, exact solutions, other approximations (eg. for heavy-tailed claim size distributions), finite horizon ruin probabilities, extensions of the classical compound Poisson model to allow for reserve-dependent premiums, Markov-modulation or periodicity. Special features of the book are the emphasis on change of measure techniques, phase-type distributions as a computational vehicle and the connection to other applied probability areas like queueing theory.

About this title

Review

""No other book covers such a vast area, at least none that is so up-to-date...one can see that Ruin Probabilities "is invaluable for researchers in risk theory and perhaps other fields in applied probability. The book can also be used as a textbook for a graduate-level course on ruin theory...The teacher's task is made easy by the recommendation on the introduction on how to get started with the book, and then how to proceed in a second reading."
