We solve a Stackelberg differential game between a buyer and a seller of insurance policies, in which both parties are ambiguous about the insurable loss. Both the buyer and seller maximize their expected wealth, plus a penalty term that reflects ambiguity, over an exogenous random horizon. Under a mean-variance premium principle and a general divergence that measures the players' ambiguity, we obtain the Stackelberg equilibrium semi-explicitly. Our main results are that the optimal variance loading equals zero and that the seller's robust optimal premium rule equals the net premium under the buyer's optimally distorted probability. Both of these important results generalize those we obtained in [Cao, J., Li, D., Young, V. R. & Zou, B. (2022). Stackelberg differential game for insurance under model ambiguity. Insurance: Mathematics and Economics, 106, 128–145.] under squared-error divergence.
本文解决了保险买卖双方对保险损失不明确的Stackelberg微分博弈问题。在外生随机视界上,买卖双方都最大化了他们的预期财富,加上一个反映模糊性的惩罚条款。在平均方差溢价原则和衡量参与者模糊性的一般散度下,我们得到了半显式的Stackelberg均衡。我们的主要结果是最优方差负荷等于零,卖方的鲁棒最优溢价规则等于买方最优扭曲概率下的净溢价。这两个重要的结果推广了我们在[Cao, J., Li, D., Young, V. R. & Zou, B.(2022)]中得到的结果。模型模糊下保险的Stackelberg微分对策。保险:数学与经济,106,128-145。在平方误差散度下。

Considerations of both the heavy-tail phenomenon and multi-modality of a claim severity distribution have been challenging in the actuarial literature and practices. In this article, we develop a novel class of soft splicing models that bridges the gap between pre-existing methods for handling the issues above. The proposed method is flexible enough to incorporate tail-heaviness and multi-modality with computational efficiency and nests finite mixture models and splicing models as its special and/or limiting cases. The soft splicing model is also more robust in extrapolating the tail-heaviness of distribution subject to model contamination. According to simulation studies and real insurance claim data analyses, it is shown that the proposed soft splicing model provides superior goodness-of-fit and more accurate estimates of tail risk measures than both finite mixture and composite models.

Not a day goes by without news about a cyber attack. Fear spreads out and lots of wrong ideas circulate. This survey aims at showing how all these uncertainties about cyber can be transformed into manageable risk. After reviewing the main characteristics of cyber risk, we consider the three layers of cyber space: hardware, software and psycho-cognitive layer. We ask ourselves how is this risk different from others, how modelling has been tackled and needs to evolve, and what are the multi-facetted aspects of cyber risk management. This wide exploration pictures a science in the making and points out the questions to be solved for building a resilient society.
