Document Details : Title: Simulation of Ruin Probabilities for Subexponential Claims Author(s): ASMUSSEN, S. , BISWANGER, K. Journal: ASTIN Bulletin Volume: 27 Issue: 2 Date: November 1997 Pages: 297-318 DOI: 10.2143/AST.27.2.542054 Abstract : We consider the classical risk model with subexponential claim size distribution. Three methods are presented to simulate the probability of ultimate ruin and we investigate their asymptotic efficiency. One, based upon a conditional Monte Carlo idea involving the order statistics, is shown to be asymptotically efficient in a certain sense. We use the simulation methods to study the accuracy of the standard Embrechts-Veraverbeke [16] approximation for the ruin probability and also suggest a new one based upon ideas of Hogan [21]. |
