Abstract

Consider non-negative random variables X1,...,Xn whose marginal means and variances are known. The purpose of this paper is to compare two different strategies for finding an upper bound on the stop-loss premium [pi](X1+...+Xn,d)=E{max (0,X1+...+Xn-d)} that are valid for all retention amounts d[greater-or-equal, slanted]0 in the absence of information concerning the type or degree of dependence between the risks Xi. One approach consists of maximizing the premium over all possible values [rho]ij=corr(Xi,Xj), 1[less-than-or-equals, slant]i
