Fairness principles for insurance contracts in the presence of default risk

Abstract

We use the theory of cooperative games for the design of fair insurance contracts. An insurance contract needs to specify the premium to be paid and a possible participation in the benefit (or surplus) of the company. We suppose that a convex commonotonic premium functional is used to value the aggregated liability of the insurance company. It results from the analysis that when a contract is exposed to the default risk of the insurance company, ex‐ante equilibrium considerations require a certain participation in the benefit of the company to be specified in the contracts. The fair benefit participation of agents appears as an outcome of a game involving the residual risks induced by the default possibility and using fuzzy coalitions.
