Perspectives of Risk Sharing

From MaRDI portal





This paper is primarily a review paper, where in 13 sections the author presents an overview of the various aspects connected with standard risk sharing models of reinsurance markets. The first 6 sections deal with topics such as basic risk-exchange models, Pareto optimality and representative agent pricing, including implications for insurance premiums. The author only touches on the problem of existence of the competitive equilibrium, primarily by presenting several examples. Risk tolerance and aggregation are the subject of the 7 th Section, while Section 8 is devoted to insurance premiums and Section 9 deals with the risk adjustments of a given probability measure. Section 10 gives the insurance version of capital asset pricing models, while Section 11 presents an alternative game theoretic approach to the risk allocation problem. Also, a short discussion of a moral hazard between an insurer and a prospective insurance buyer is included. Finally, the author finishes the paper by implications of the above mentioned results for a pure stock market. In particular, he demonstrates certain advantages of the approach based on optimal risk allocation theory for investigation of incomplete markets.
