Rate of convergence of the probability of ruin in the Cramér–Lundberg model to its diffusion approximation

Abstract

We analyze the probability of ruin for the scaled classical Cramér–Lundberg (CL) risk process and the corresponding diffusion approximation. The scaling, introduced by Iglehart (1969) to the actuarial literature, amounts to multiplying the Poisson rate λ by n, dividing the claim severity by n, and adjusting the premium rate so that net premium income remains constant.
