Abstract

We obtain analogues of Lundberg’s inequality and the Cramér—Lundberg asymptotic relationship for the k-th moment of the time to ruin in the classical risk model. We also derive the asymptotic behaviour of the mean time to ruin when the claim size distribution has a heavy or intermediate tail.
