Description: Recently, there has been growing interest among insurance and investment experts to focus on the use of a tail conditional expectation as a measure of risk, since it shares properties that are considered desirable and applicable in a variety of situations. This paper examines above risk measure in the case of a multivariate gamma portfolio. We demonstrate the explicit formulas for tail conditional expectation and based on it capital allocation when the proposed multivariate model consists of dependent and independent gamma marginals

Description: Stochastic approximation is a powerful tool for sequential estimation of zero points of a function. In this paper, this methodology is defined and is shown to be related to a broad class of credibility formulae derived for the Exponential Dispersion Family. The authors further consider a Location Dispersion Family which is rich enough and for which no simple credibility formula exists. For this case, a Generalized Sequential Credibility Formula is suggested and an optimal stepwise gain sequence is derived.
