Risk sharing, measuring variability, and distortion riskmetrics

We address the problem of sharing risk among agents with preferences modelled by a general class of comonotonic additive and law-based functionals that need not be either monotone or convex. Such functionals are called distortion riskmetrics, which include many statistical measures of risk and varia

Pairwise counter-monotonicity

We systematically study pairwise counter-monotonicity, an extremal notion of negative dependence. A stochastic representation and an invariance property are established for this dependence structure. We show that pairwise counter-monotonicity implies negative association, and it is equivalent to joi

Comonotonic improvement under feasibility constraints

Regulatory and contractual constraints on individual exposures are standard in insurance and reinsurance markets, but a poorly designed constraint can distort the economic incentives of risk-averse agents. In the unconstrained problem, the classical comonotonic improvement theorem guarantees Pareto-

Optimal risk sharing, equilibria, and welfare with empirically realistic risk attitudes

This paper examines optimal risk sharing for empirically realistic risk attitudes, providing results on Pareto optimality, competitive equilibria, utility frontiers, and the first and second theorems of welfare. Contrary to common theoretical assumptions, empirical studies find prevailing risk seeki
