Risk theory and reinsurance
This title provides a concise introduction to risk theory and its application in reinsurance, shows how the formalism of the former fits into the institutional framework of the latter, and includes detailed guidance on calculation principles and mathematical tools.

Catastrophe risk financing in developing countries : principles for public intervention
'Catastrophe Risk Financing in Developing Countries' provides a detailed analysis of the imperfections and inefficiencies that impede the emergence of competitive catastrophe risk markets in developing countries. The book demonstrates how donors and international financial institutions can assist governments in middle- and low-income countries in promoting effective and affordable catastrophe risk financing solutions. The authors present guiding principles on how and when governments, with assistance from donors and international financial institutions, should intervene in catastrophe insurance markets. They also identify key activities to be undertaken by donors and institutions that would allow middle- and low-income countries to develop competitive and cost-effective catastrophe risk financing strategies at both the macro (government) and micro (household) levels. These principles and activities are expected to inform good practices and ensure desirable results in catastrophe insurance projects. 'Catastrophe Risk Financing in Developing Countries' offers valuable advice and guidelines to policy makers and insurance practitioners involved in the development of catastrophe insurance programs in developing countries.

Robust reinsurance and investment strategies under principal–agent framework
In this paper, a class of reinsurance contracting problems is examined under a continuous-time principal–agent framework with mean-variance criteria, where a reinsurer and an insurer are assigned the roles of the principal and the agent, respectively. Both parties can manage their insurance risk by investing in a financial portfolio comprising a risk-free asset and a risky asset. It has been assumed that both the insurer and the reinsurer are concerned about model uncertainty and that they aim to find a robust reinsurance contract and robust investment strategies by maximizing their respective mean-variance cost functionals taking sets of probability scenarios into account. To articulate the time-inconsistency issue attributed to the mean-variance optimization criteria, the optimization procedure of each decision-maker has been formulated as a non-cooperative game and discussed by using an extended HJB equation, which is consistent with the extant work on time-consistent control. Moreover, explicit expressions for the robust reinsurance contract, the robust investment strategies and the value functions of the insurer and reinsurer have been obtained and presented. The numerical results and their economic interpretations are then discussed.
