Abstract

In this paper, we generalise the results presented in the literature for the ruin probability for the insurer--reinsurer model under a pro-rata reinsurance contract. We consider claim amounts that are described by a phase-type distribution that includes exponential, mixture of exponential, Erlang, and mixture of Erlang distributions. We derive the ruin probability formulas with the use of change-of-measure technique and present important special cases. We illustrate the usefulness of the introduced model by fitting it to the real-world loss data. With the use of statistical tests and graphical tools, we show that the mixture of Erlangs is well-fitted to the data and is superior to other considered distributions. This justifies the fact that the presented results can be useful in the context of risk assessment of co-operating insurance companies.
