Abstract

Under contemporary insurance regulatory frameworks, an insolvent insurer placed in receivership may have the option of rehabilitation, during which a plan is devised to resolve the insurer's difficulties. The regulator and receiver must analyze the company's financial condition and determine whether a rehabilitation is likely to be successful or if its problems are so severe that the appropriate action is to liquidate the insurer. Therefore, it is essential to evaluate the cost required to support the insurer during its insolvent states in the decision-making process. To this end, we study areas in the red (below level 0) up to the recovery time, Poissonian, and continuous first passage times in this paper. Furthermore, we extend the study to the areas associated with Parisian ruin to evaluate the total cost until possible liquidation. For spectrally negative Lévy processes (SNLPs), also known as Lévy risk models, we derive the expectations of these quantities in terms of the well-known scale functions. Our results improve the existing literature, in which only expected areas for the Brownian motion and the Cramér-Lundberg risk process with exponential jumps are known.
