Combination of traditional and parametric insurance: calibration method based on the optimization of a criterion adapted to heavy tail losses

In this paper, we address the problem of providing insurance protection against heavy-tailed losses, for which the expected loss may not even be finite. The product we study is based on a combination of traditional insurance up to a given limit and a parametric (or index-based) cover for larger loss

A Wasserstein GAN-based climate scenario generator for risk management and insurance: the case of soil subsidence

According to the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (2025), the average annual cost of natural catastrophes increased from 70–80 billion USD between 1970 and 2000 to 180–200 billion USD between 2001 and 2020. Reports from organizations such as the IFOA and the WWF highlight the need

A stochastic SIR model for cyber contagion: application to granular growth of firms and to insurance portfolio

This work evaluates the impact of contagious cyber-events, over a finite horizon, on firms’ financial health and on a cyber insurance portfolio. Our approach builds on key empirical findings from economics and cybersecurity. In economics, firm size and growth-rate distributions are non-Gaussian and

Index insurance under demand and solvency constraints

Index insurance is often proposed to reduce protection gaps, especially for emerging risks. Unlike traditional insurance, it bases compensation on a measurable index, enabling faster payouts and lower claim management costs. This approach benefits both policyholders, through quick payments, and insu
