Abstract :
The upper bound provided by Lundberg's inequality can be improved for the probability of ruin in finite horizon, as Gerber (1979) has shown This paper studies this upper bound as a function of the retention limit, for an excess of loss arrangement, and compares it with the probability of ruin.
