Abstract
We consider the problem of finding (Pareto-)optimal allocations of risk among finitely many agents. The associated individual risk measures are law-invariant, but with respect to agent-dependent and potentially heterogeneous reference probability measures. Moreover, we assume that the individual risk assessments are consistent with the respective second-order stochastic dominance relations, but remain agnostic about their convexity. A simple sufficient condition for the existence of Pareto optima is provided. The proof combines local comonotonic improvement with a Dieudonné-type argument, which also establishes a link of the optimal allocation problem to the realm of “collapse to the mean” results.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of Finance and Stochastics is to provide a high standard publication forum for research
- in all areas of finance based on stochastic methods
- on specific topics in mathematics (in particular probability theory, statistics and stochastic analysis) motivated by the analysis of problems in finance.
Finance and Stochastics encompasses - but is not limited to - the following fields:
- theory and analysis of financial markets
- continuous time finance
- derivatives research
- insurance in relation to finance
- portfolio selection
- credit and market risks
- term structure models
- statistical and empirical financial studies based on advanced stochastic methods
- numerical and stochastic solution techniques for problems in finance
- intertemporal economics, uncertainty and information in relation to finance.
