  • [hal-01300673] Mean and median-based nonparametric estimation of returns in mean-downside risk portfolio frontier
    12 avril 2016
    The DownSide Risk (DSR) model for portfolio optimisation allows to overcome the drawbacks of the classical Mean-Variance model concerning the asymmetry of returns and the risk perception of investors. This model optimization deals with a positive definite matrix that is endogenous with respect to portfolio weights. This aspect makes the problem far more difficult to handle. For this purpose, Athayde (2001) developed a new recursive minimization procedure that ensures the convergence to the solution. However, when a finite number of observations is available, the portfolio frontier presents some discontinuity and is not very smooth. In order to overcome that, Athayde (2003) proposed a Mean Kernel estimation of the returns, so as to create a smoother portfolio frontier. This technique provides an effect similar to the case in which continuous observations are available. In this paper, Athayde model is reformulated and clarified. Then, taking advantage on the robustness of the median, another nonparametric approach based on Median Kernel returns estimation is proposed in order to construct a portfolio frontier. A new version of Athayde's algorithm will be exhibited. Finally, the properties of this improved portfolio frontier are studied and analysed on the French Stock Market. Keywords DownSide Risk · Kernel Method · Mean Nonparametric Estimation · Median Nonparametric Estimation · Portefolio Efficient Frontier · Semi-Variance.
  • [hal-01985256] Lapse tables for lapse risk management in insurance: a competing risk approach
    17 janvier 2019
    This paper deals with the crucial problem of modeling policyholders' behaviours in life insurance. We focus here on the surrender behaviours and model the contract lifetime through the use of survival regression models. Standard models fail at giving acceptable forecasts for the timing of surrenders because of too much heterogeneity, whereas the competing risk framework provides interesting insights and more accurate predictions. Numerical results follow from using Fine & Gray model ([13]) on an insurance portfolio embedding Whole Life contracts. Through backtests, this framework reveals to be quite efficient and recovers the empirical lapse rate trajectory by aggregating individual predicted lifetimes. These results could be particularly useful to design future insurance product. Moreover, this setting allows to calibrate experimental lapse tables, simplifying the lapse risk management for operational teams.
  • [hal-05417123] Creation of chaos for interacting Brownian particles
    15 décembre 2025
    <div><p>We consider a system of N Brownian particles, with or without inertia, interacting in the mean-field regime via a weak, smooth, long-range potential, and starting initially from an arbitrary exchangeable N -particle distribution. In this model framework, we establish a fine version of the so-called creation-of-chaos phenomenon: in weak norms, the mean-field approximation for a typical particle is shown to hold with an accuracy O(N -1 ) up to an error due solely to initial pair correlations, which is damped exponentially over time. Corresponding higher-order results are also derived in the form of higher-order correlation estimates. The approach is new and easily adaptable: we start from suboptimal correlation estimates obtained from an elementary use of Itô's calculus on moments of the empirical measure, together with ergodic properties of the mean-field dynamics, and these bounds are then made optimal after combination with PDE estimates on the BBGKY hierarchy.</p></div>
  • [hal-05318094] Optimal choice of crop insurance: The Case of Winter Barley in France
    10 décembre 2025
    This paper analyzes how the agricultural insurance market is adapting to climate change, particularly as extreme weather events become more frequent and severe. We focus on the optimal decision faced by a risk-averse farmer who wants to insure their crop while making savings. They can choose between a traditional loss-based insurance, index-based insurance or a mix of both. By maximizing the farmer’s CARA utility function, we show that in some cases, a mixed insurance strategy is more advantageous than a single contract. In our model, the farmer insures only part of the crop when the market interest rate is strictly positive. Demand for traditional and index insurance depends on their respective prices. Highly risk-averse farmers prefer traditional insurance. A numerical application to the French agriculture sector indicates that mean spring temperature primarily affects winter barley yield and could therefore be the main indicator for index-based insurance design. Insurance simulations using the theoretical model and the estimated results further illustrate these findings.
  • [hal-04682666] The adoption of smart services: do privacy concerns, trust in benevolence and usage experience matter?
    30 août 2024
    Purpose The purpose of this research is to investigate the influence of service provider benevolence trust and privacy concerns on the intention to adopt smart services (SS), in line with the privacy paradox. It also seeks to analyze the role of smart connected product (SCP) usage, between current and potential users. Design/methodology/approach The study specifically focuses on one type of SS: smart-connected car insurance based on the “pay as you drive” and/or “pay how you drive” principle. Data were collected through an online survey of 362 French drivers. Hypotheses are tested using structural equation modeling and a multigroup confirmatory factor analysis. Findings The results show that trust in the benevolence of the service providers positively influences the intention to adopt SS, regardless of how familiar consumers are with SCP. Conversely, privacy concerns have a negative impact on such intention, but this effect only occurs among consumers who already own SCP. Practical implications From a managerial perspective, this research could help service providers to successfully develop and promote SS, by establishing a relationship based on benevolence and transparency regarding the use of personal information. In addition, managers should promote SS differently when addressing SCP users, seeking to reassure them or avoid addressing privacy concerns. Originality/value Our study adds to the privacy paradox theoretical framework by empirically analyzing drivers of SS adoption. It highlights the key but distinct roles of privacy concerns and benevolence trust.
  • [halshs-03919287] “More CSR versus more benefits”: how members' motives influence loyalty toward cooperatives
    2 janvier 2023
    Purpose Co-operative managers must invest appropriately to strengthen member relationships, such as by initiating corporate social responsibility (CSR) actions or providing members with more relational benefits. This paper aims to investigate how members’ motives (collectivistic vs individualistic) might influence the effectiveness of these investments in terms of enhancing members’ trust and loyalty intentions. Design/methodology/approach This research combines an exploratory approach, based on six focus groups, with a confirmatory approach based on a field study and two scenario-based experiments. Findings Members tend to regard the two motives in contest and infer a “more CSR versus more benefits” arbitration effort by co-operatives, such that they appear to prioritize one motive over the other. Members with individualistic motives principally support co-operatives’ arbitration toward relational benefits, so the positive effects of CSR initiatives on their trust and loyalty intentions are weaker (Study 1). Both CSR and relational benefits can be more or less efficient, depending on members’ motives (Study 2). Research limitations/implications Reflecting their contrasting motives, members infer arbitration by co-operative managers, reflected in their “more CSR versus more benefits” belief. This insight and the related implications for trust and loyalty intentions have not been addressed in prior research. Practical implications Managers can avoid the negative consequences of “more CSR versus more benefits” inferences by ensuring a good fit between their investments and their members’ prevailing motives. If members have more collectivistic (cf. individualistic) motives, CSR initiatives (cf. relational benefits) enhance their trust and loyalty intentions more effectively. Originality/value This research builds on previous work on members’ relationships within co-operatives and on members’ motives. Results find that the effectiveness of co-operatives’ investments to strengthen members’ loyalty intentions depends on members’ prior motives.
  • [hal-03482342] Expected Evolution of COVID-19 Epidemic in France for Several Combinations of Vaccination Strategies and Barrier Measures
    6 décembre 2022
    The outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, enhanced by rapid spreads of variants, has caused a major international health crisis, with serious public health and economic consequences. An agent-based model was designed to simulate the evolution of the epidemic in France over 2021 and the first six months of 2022. The study compares the efficiencies of four theoretical vaccination campaigns (over 6, 9, 12, and 18 months), combined with various non-pharmaceutical interventions. In France, with the emergence of the Alpha variant, without vaccination and despite strict barrier measures, more than 600,000 deaths would be observed. An efficient vaccination campaign (i.e., total coverage of the French population) over six months would divide the death toll by 10. A vaccination campaign of 12, instead of 6, months would slightly increase the disease-related mortality (+6%) but require a 77% increase in ICU bed–days. A campaign over 18 months would increase the disease-related mortality by 17% and require a 244% increase in ICU bed–days. Thus, it seems mandatory to vaccinate the highest possible percentage of the population within 12, or better yet, 9 months. The race against the epidemic and virus variants is really a matter of vaccination strategy.
  • [hal-03295594] Expected utility maximization with stochastically ordered returns
    22 juillet 2021
    Expected utility is an influential theory to study rational choice among risky assets. For each investment, an economic agent expects to receive a random payoff and therefore maximizes its expected utility. To the best of our knowledge, there exists no general procedure to take the derivative of the expected utility as a function of the investment without heavy assumptions on the underlying processes. This article considers expected utility maximization when payoffs are modeled by a family of random variables increasing with investment for the convolution order such as Poisson, Gamma or Exponential distributions. For several common utility functions, with the help of fractional calculus, we manage to obtain closed-form formulas for the expected utility derivative. The paper also provides two economic applications: production of competitive firms and investment in prevention.
  • [hal-02616983] Basis Risk Management in an Index-Based Insurance Framework under Randomly Scaled Uncertainty
    25 mai 2020
    This paper is concerned with the quantification of basis risk in index-based insurance products using randomly scaled variables. To this extent, we first discuss the shape, the unimodality and the symmetry of randomly scaled variables depending on the distribution of the random scaling factor using Mellin transform. We explicitly obtain the distribution of a randomly scaled variable when the random scaling factor is either uniformly distributed or of Beta type. We then determine s-convex extremal distributions for randomly scaled variables and discuss the way of comparing it. Next, we define an Enterprise Risk Management framework that relies on randomly scaled variables to assess basis risk, introducing the class of generalized penalty functions. This ERM framework allows for setting up basis risk limits to eventually determine a Basis Risk Capital Requirement. The results are illustrated with particular cases that carefully challenge the methodology.
  • [hal-01803834] Endossement, pseudo endossement et co-endossement d'une marque patronymique : potentiel et intérêt pour une stratégie marketing
    31 mai 2018
    En matière publicitaire, on appelle "endossement" le fait de demander à une personnalité connue de s'approprier explicitement le discours promotionnel de la marque. Dans la période actuelle, la plupart des marques ayant recours à une stratégie d'endossement fait appel à des "célébrités". Un sous-ensemble de marques ayant en commun d'être "patronymiques" semble recourir à une stratégie un peu différente au sens où ces marques font également appel à des experts, à des consommateurs-témoins et, dans certains cas, aux dirigeants des entreprises qui les commercialisent elles-mêmes. Le présent article s'interroge sur le bien-fondé de ce constat et sur les conséquences - vertueuses ou non - de cette différenciation opérée par les marques patronymiques. Elles ont développé des stratégies originales, notamment en matière d’endossement par le dirigeant, et bénéficient ainsi de différents avantages liés à la source : attractivité due à la réussite, crédibilité liée à l’expertise et congruence avec les produits).
  • [hal-01803877] Ubérisation des services : les clients sont-ils toujours gagnants ?
    31 mai 2018
    L'ubérisation, définie comme "la remise en cause du modèle économique d'une entreprise ou d'un secteur d'activité par l'arrivée d'un nouvel acteur proposant les mêmes services à des prix moindres" (Le Petit Larousse, 2018), se propage à des services de plus en plus variés. Ce phénomène d'ubérisation est-il toujours favorable aux consommateurs ? Une réflexion menée selon trois axes permet d'apporter une réponse nuancée à cette question. Le premier axe souligne la difficulté de mesurer la qualité du service ubérisé et dresse le constat d'une généralisation de l'ubérisation. Mais l'accès à ce type d'offre est circonscrit aux consommateurs connectés à Internet. Le second axe questionne la nature disruptive de l'ubérisation en tant qu'innovation, tout en reconnaissant une amélioration de l'expérience client. Enfin, le troisième axe montre que le consommateur est relativement gagnant en termes d'appropriation de la valeur, par rapport au producteur du service. Néanmoins, les grands gagnants de ce modèle économique sont les plateformes. Abstract Uberization, defined as " the rethinking of the business model of a company or a business sector by the entry of a new actor proposing the same services at lesser prices" (Le Petit Larousse, 2018), extends to more and more varied services.

  • [hal-01803752] Can brand identity predict brand extensions' success or failure?
    31 mai 2018
    Purpose – Brand extension strategies have become widespread since the early 1980s. However, a large proportion of brand extensions still fail, suggesting the need for methodologies that produce better predictions of success or failure of new products launched with a well-known brand name. Although the symbolic fit between established brand names and brand extensions is considered as one of the most important determinants of brand extension success or failure, managers need more accurate tools to determine, from a symbolic point-of-view, which brand extensions are consistent with their brand. This paper proposes to use Kapferer's brand identity prism to define more acceptable brand extensions. Design/methodology/approach – Two studies were conducted. A first study aimed at developing a brand identity inventory (BII). In a second study, the BII's ability to predict brand extensions' success or failure was tested. Findings – The second order structure of Kapferer's brand identity prism is confirmed. The paper then demonstrates that brand identity is useful to better predict acceptance of brand extensions. Research limitations/implications – In prior research, perceived fit was estimated by mono-item measures or by few brand associations. Brand identity provides a more accurate estimation of the fit that can rely on attributes related to brand personality and brand values – the personal dimension of brand identity – or associations related to relationships and users' image – the social dimension of brand identity. Originality/value – The findings can help managers to determine more consistent brand extensions when brands are already stretched.
  • [hal-01803728] Wine brands or branded wines? The specificity of the French market in terms of the brand
    31 mai 2018
    Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to show that the branded wine concept refers to a very heterogeneous category as regards wine made in France, but this sort of wine can appeal to certain types of consumers. Design/methodology/approach – An initial qualitative study was carried out to explore consumer representation as regards branded wine. A second, quantitative, study enabled us, through a cluster analysis, to identify brand-sensitive consumer segments in the wine field. Findings – There is a divergence in consumer representation between novices and experts. The former considers A.O.C.s (Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée, a French official label of protected geographical indication) and regions as brands while the latter have a narrower vision of what a branded wine means. The ''discoverers'', the youngest consumers (18-29 years old), who are interested in wine and have little knowledge of it are most liable to be influenced by wine brands. The novices and routine consumers are also brand sensitive but to a lesser degree. The experts, on the other hand, are not influenced by brands. Research limitations/implications – The influence of the brand derives from the declarative. A more indirect measure which mixes the brand with other wine attributes would be preferable. The use of a sample of convenience means results can only be generalized with caution. Practical implications – There indeed exists a place for branded wines on the French market but an association is needed with other attributes such as the origin and/or the grape variety. Originality/value – Little research has been devoted to the French consumer's acceptance of branded wines.

    Replacing the ammonium polar head in cationic lipids 1 (A = N) by a phosphonium or an arsonium group (A=P, As) improves their properties as synthetic vectors for DNA transfection. The increased volume of the cationic head is supposed to modify the interactions of the vector with the solvent and DNA.
  • [hal-01711196] Operational choices for risk aggregation in insurance: PSDization and SCR sensitivity
    16 février 2018
    This paper answers crucial questions about the robustness of the PSDization process for applications in insurance. PSDization refers to the process that forces a matrix to become positive semi-definite. For companies using copulas to aggregate risks in their internal model, PSDization occurs when working with correlation matrices to compute the Solvency Capital Requirement (SCR). We study how classical operational choices concerning the modelling of risk dependence impacts the SCR during PSDization. These operations refer to permutations of risks (or business lines) in the correlation matrix, addition of a new risk, and introduction of confidence weights given to the correlation coefficients. Using genetic algorithms, it is shown that theoretically neutral transformations of the correlation matrix can surprisingly lead to significant sensitivities of the SCR (up to 6%). This highlights the need for a very strong internal control around the PSDization step.
  • [hal-01345959] Nested Kriging predictions for datasets with large number of observations
    20 juillet 2017
    This work falls within the context of predicting the value of a real function at some input locations given a limited number of observations of this function. The Kriging interpolation technique (or Gaussian process regression) is often considered to tackle such a problem but the method suffers from its computational burden when the number of observation points is large. We introduce in this article nested Kriging predictors which are constructed by aggregating sub-models based on subsets of observation points. This approach is proven to have better theoretical properties than other aggregation methods that can be found in the literature. Contrarily to some other methods it can be shown that the proposed aggregation method is consistent. Finally, the practical interest of the proposed method is illustrated on simulated datasets and on an industrial test case with $10^4$ observations in a 6-dimensional space.

    1 mars 2017
    We study an optimal investment problem under default risk where related information such as loss or recovery at default is considered as an exogenous random mark added at default time. Two types of agents who have different levels of information are considered. We first make precise the insider's information flow by using the theory of enlargement of filtrations and then obtain explicit logarithmic utility maximization results to compare optimal wealth for the insider and the ordinary agent.

    23 janvier 2017
    De nombreuses initiatives collectives impliquant des producteurs en circuits courts se développent : magasins et marchés de producteurs, plateformes d'approvisionnement de la restauration collective, ateliers collectifs de transformation, etc. Cependant, force est de constater que beaucoup de projets de ce type ne parviennent pas à émerger ou à se pérenniser. Mieux comprendre comment ces collectifs résolvent les différents paradoxes et difficultés auxquels ils sont confrontés constitue donc une attente forte. Nous proposons une analyse de la trajectoire d'un collectif de transformation et de commercialisation en circuits courts, en montrant que la pérennité du système repose sur une articulation singulière et dynamique entre trois dimensions : le projet individuel, collectif et celui du territoire. A chacune des étapes de la vie du collectif, les acteurs mobilisent ces différents niveaux d'action afin de construire ou rétablir une cohérence et une dynamique.
  • [hal-01150444] Therapeutic activity of two xanthones in a xenograft murine model of human chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
    11 mai 2015
    We previously reported that allanxanthone C and macluraxanthone, two xanthones purified from Guttiferae trees, display in vitro antiproliferative and proapoptotic activities in leukemic cells from chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and leukemia B cell lines. Here, we investigated the in vivo therapeutic effects of the two xanthones in a xenograft murine model of human CLL, developed by engrafting CD5-transfected chronic leukemia B cells into SCID mice. Treatment of the animals with five daily injections of either allanxanthone C or macluraxanthone resulted in a significant prolongation of their survival as compared to control animals injected with the solvent alone (p = 0.0006 and p = 0.0141, respectively). The same treatment of mice which were not xenografted induced no mortality. These data show for the first time the in vivo antileukemic activities of two plant-derived xanthones, and confirm their potential interest for CLL therapy.
  • [hal-01134385] Development of a Murine model to dissect the CpG-oligonucleotide-enhancement of the killing of human B Cells by rituximab.
    23 mars 2015
    As a model to dissect the effects of CpG-oligonucleotides (CpG) on rituximab (RTX)-mediated therapeutic killing of autoimmune or malignant B lymphocytes, nude mice were grafted with Daudi human B cells. These mice were then injected with RTX alone or together with CpG. The human B cell aggregate was measured, and the reactive infiltrate analyzed after selective depletion of murine circulating cells. Macrophages (MØ) were identified in infiltrates, but not polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN), as confirmed by the failure of quantitative polymerase chain reaction to detect transcripts for PMN-specific myeloperoxidase in graft extracts. Evidence that MØ predominate over PMN in the anti-B cell RTX-induced immune mechanisms, include the presence of MØ-derived cytokines, and the lack of consequences of depletion of NK cells or B lymphocytes on the CpG-mediated effects on RTX. Interestingly however, removal of circulating PMN reduced the number of MØ attracted by the Daudi B cells. Our interpretation that CpG-induced complement activation is required for PMN to influence MØ was first based on overproduction of C5a in treated mice. This excess was due to the binding of the inhibitor of the alternative pathway of complement to CpG, as demonstrated by the elution of factor H from CpG-affinity-chromatography columns. Thus MØ are recruited to the tissue in the presence of C5a, and exploited locally by RTX.
  • [hal-01081756] Discrete Schur-constant models
    10 novembre 2014
    This paper introduces a class of Schur-constant survival models, of dimension n, for arithmetic non-negative random variables. Such a model is defined through a univariate survival function that is shown to be n-monotone. Two general representations are obtained, by conditioning on the sum of the n variables or through a doubly mixed multinomial distribution. Several other properties including correlation measures are derived. Three processes in insurance theory are discussed for which the claim interarrival periods form a Schur-constant model.
  • [hal-00746251] On an asymptotic rule A+B/u for ultimate ruin probabilities under dependence by mixing
    30 août 2013
    The purpose of this paper is to point out that an asymptotic rule "A+B/u" for the ultimate ruin probability applies to a wide class of dependent risk models, in discrete and continuous time. Dependence is incorporated through a mixing approach among claim amounts or claim inter-arrival times, leading to a systemic risk behavior. Ruin corresponds here either to classical ruin, or to stopping the activity after realizing that it is not pro table at all, when one has little possibility to increase premium income rate. Several special cases for which closed formulas are derived, are also investigated in some detail.
  • [hal-00750562] On multiply monotone distributions, continuous or discrete, with applications
    27 novembre 2012
    This paper is concerned with the class of distributions, continuous or discrete, whose shape is monotone of finite integer order t. A characterization is presented as a mixture of a minimum of t independent uniform distributions. Then, a comparison of t-monotone distributions is made using the s-convex stochastic orders. A link is also pointed out with an alternative approach to monotonicity based on a stationary-excess operator. Finally, the monotonicity property is exploited to reinforce the classical Markov and Lyapunov inequalities. The results are illustrated by several applications to insurance.
  • [hal-00409418] Asymptotic Finite-Time Ruin Probabilities for a Class of Path-Dependent Heavy-Tailed Claim Amounts Using Poisson Spacings
    7 août 2009
    In the compound Poisson risk model, several strong hypotheses may be found too restrictive to describe accurately the evolution of the reserves of an insurance company. This is especially true for a company that faces natural disaster risks like earthquake or flooding. For such risks, claim amounts are often inter-dependent and they may also depend on the history of the natural phenomenon. The present paper is concerned with a situation of this kind where each claim amount depends on the previous interclaim arrival time, or on past interclaim arrival times in a more complex way. Our main purpose is to evaluate, for large initial reserves, the asymptotic finite-time ruin probabilities of the company when the claim sizes have a heavy-tailed distribution. The approach is based more particularly on the analysis of spacings in a conditioned Poisson process.
  • [hal-00201377] Finite-Time Ruin Probabilities for Discrete, Possibly Dependent, Claim Severities
    28 décembre 2007
    This paper is concerned with the compound Poisson risk model and two generalized models with still Poisson claim arrivals. One extension incorporates inhomogeneity in the premium input and in the claim arrival process, while the other takes into account possible dependence between the successive claim amounts. The problem under study for these risk models is the evaluation of the probabilities of (non-)ruin over any horizon of finite length. The main recent methods, exact or approximate, used to compute the ruin probabilities are reviewed and discussed in a unified way. Special attention is then paid to an analysis of the qualitative impact of dependence between claim amounts.

    18 octobre 2017
    For companies, communicating about socially responsible activities does not always lead to benefits. This article aims to contribute to a better understanding of the conditions in which such communications are valuable. The authors investigate the effect of corporate social responsibility (CSR) communication on purchasing intentions, according to the focal firm’s governance. Mentioning its member-owned business status in a CSR message increases the efficacy of that communication, due to positive general attitudes toward these organizations, and it reinforces the impact of the CSR communication on purchase intentions. For investor-owned businesses, both CSR and quality-based messages induce similar purchase intentions.
  • [hal-01366013] A strong hysteretic model of Okun’s Law: theory and a preliminary investigation
    14 septembre 2016
    This paper presents a 'strong hysteretic' version of Okun's Law, that is, a version of the law in which 'history matters.' In this version of the link between fluctuations in unemployment and growth, the most important past growth shock exerts an influence on the current unemployment rate. A theoretical framework is proposed in order to lay the foundations of this version of Okun's Law. In this framework, the hysteresis property arises because a large number of heterogeneous firms discontinuously adjust their activity levels in response to fluctuations in the rate of growth. The foundations having been laid, a method for empirically testing our hysteretic Okun's Law is presented. An algorithm permits construction of a hysteresis operator, which synthesizes, for every moment, the growth shocks that have remained in the memory bank of the unemployment rate. Empirical tests are conducted to assess the empirical relevance of this version of Okun's Law, as compared to the more familiar linear relationship. Empirical results consistent with hysteresis are found for several of the countries in our sample.
  • [hal-01084274] Phase-type aging modeling for health dependent costs
    18 novembre 2014
    In the present paper we develop recursive algorithms to evaluate the distribution of the net present value (abbreviated as "NPV") of a health care contract. The duration of the program is a random variable representing the lifetime of an individual. We suggest a discrete time phase-type approach to model individual health care costs. In this approach, annual health care costs depend naturally on the health state of the individual. We also derive the distribution of the NPV assuming that annual health care costs are iid random variables. We demonstrate analytically that, under special parametrisation, the model with iid costs gives a similar expectation of the NPV to the one of the model with health dependent costs. We propose techniques to evaluate the impact of health related events and demonstrate it on numerical examples.
  • [hal-02314914] Optimal prevention of large risks with two types of claims
    29 octobre 2020
    In this paper, we propose and study a risk model with two types of claims in which the insurer may invest into a prevention plan which decreases the intensity of large claims without impacting the small claims. We identify a necessary and sufficient condition for insurers to use prevention if there is no surplus. If, in addition, the severity of large claims dominates that of small claims by the harmonic mean residual life (HMRL) order, insurers invest more in prevention in the presence of a surplus. Finally, we characterize the asymptotic optimal prevention strategy when the initial surplus tends to infinity in the two main cases where both claim types are light-tailed and where one of them is light-tailed and the other one is heavy-tailed.
  • [hal-02314899] Optimal prevention strategies in the classical risk model
    3 février 2020
    In this paper, we propose and study a first risk model in which the insurer may invest into a prevention plan which decreases claim intensity. We determine the optimal prevention investment for different risk indicators. In particular, we show that the prevention amount minimizing the ruin probability maximizes the adjustment coefficient in the classical ruin model with prevention, as well as the expected dividends until ruin in the model with dividends. We also show that the optimal prevention strategy is different if one aims at maximizing the average surplus at a fixed time horizon. A sensitivity analysis is carried out. We also prove that our results can be extended to the case where prevention starts to work only after a minimum prevention level threshold.
  • [hal-00308782] Impact of correlation crises in risk theory
    1 août 2008
    In the renewal risk model, several strong hypotheses may be found too restrictive to model accurately the complex evolution of the reserves of an insurance company. In the case where claim sizes are heavy-tailed, we relax independence and stationarity assumptions and extend some asymptotic results on finite-time ruin probabilities, to take into account possible correlation crises like the one recently bred by the sub-prime crisis: claim amounts, in general assumed to be independent, may suddenly become strongly positively dependent. The impact of dependence and non-stationarity is analyzed and several concrete examples are given.

    The present paper aims to point out how the stationary-excess operator and its iterates transform the s-convex stochastic orders and the associated moment spaces. This allows us to propose a new unified method on constructing s-convex extrema for distributions that are known to be t-monotone. Both discrete and continuous cases are investigated. Several extremal distributions under monotonicity conditions are derived. They are illustrated with some applications in insurance.
  • [hal-00168958] On Finite-Time Ruin Probabilities for Classical Risk Models
    31 août 2007
    This paper is concerned with the problem of ruin in the classical compound binomial and compound Poisson risk models. Our primary purpose is to extend to those models an exact formula derived by Picard and Lefèvre (1997) for the probability of (non-)ruin within finite time. First, a standard method based on the ballot theorem and an argument of Seal-type provides an initial (known) formula for that probability. Then, a concept of pseudo-distributions for the cumulated claim amounts, combined with some simple implications of the ballot theorem, leads to the desired formula. Two expressions for the (non-)ruin probability over an infinite horizon are also deduced as corollaries. Finally, an illustration within the framework of Solvency II is briefly presented.
  • [hal-01769390] Forecasting sovereign CDS volatility: A comparison of univariate GARCH-class models
    18 avril 2018
    Initially overlooked by investors, the sovereign credit risk has been reassessed upwards since the 2000's which has contributed to awaken the interest of speculators in sovereign CDS. The growing need of accurate forecasting models has led us to fill the gap in the literature by studying the predictability of sovereign CDS volatility, using both linear and non-linear GARCH-class models. This paper uses data from 38 worldwide countries, ranging from January 2006 to March 2017. Results show that the CDS markets are subject to periods of volatility clustering, nonlinearity, asym-metric leverage effects and long-memory behavior. Using 7 heteroskedastic and no heteroskedastic-robust statistic criteria, results show that the fractionally-integrated models outperform the basic GARCH-class models in terms of forecasting ability and that allowing flexibility regarding the persistence degree of variance shocks significantly improves the model's suitability to data. Despite the divergence in the economic status and geographical positions of the countries composing our sample, the FIGARCH and FIEGARCH models are mainly found to be the most accurate models in predicting credit market volatility.
